(Note my first gold skull ring, which actually is Tim's but I got to borrow it for a day.) I was feeling like playing with textures the other day and came up with this outfit. The color and texture palette was partially inspired by a decor picture of gold sequined & shaggy pillows over at Oracle Fox, and partially inspired by a streetstyle picture taken by Hanneli. This must be the 30th lace shirt or blouse I own but I still had to have it when I tried it on at Goodwill the other day. I'm glad I did since I basically lived in this shirt all weekend...
Sorry for not posting for so long! I had a pretty awesome weekend spent vintage shopping, watching Nova, going out on the town, forcing Tim to try Indian food with me, and... forgetting to study for my two exams (one today, one tomorrow)! So obviously a cram session last night and this morning at 4 AM were required. Thankfully I had a pretty light load in research today so I actually finished testing, research, and working out (cardio + some strength training) by 11 AM and got to take a four hour nap. Now I'm much more rested and ready to tackle studying for tomorrow's exam. Circuits and resistors...here I come!

  2. I love the different mix in textures. People think that mixing these up will clash but sometimes it works in a magnificent way and yours is a great example! Great!

  11. Your nerdiness makes me giggle. I hate being one of the few nerds in the fashion blog-sphere. I'm going nuts about Econometrics (aced my last quiz) and I can't talk to anyone on here about it! :C

    Anyhoo! I love the lace blouse. I have yet to own one lace blouse...[/FAIL] Considering how cute they are.

  12. Yasmeen: hahahaha Econometrics...had to wiki that word. Economics in general has never been my strong point but its intersection with math? Hrm...sounds deliciously interesting and nerdy. I talk about my day (which includes random nerdy bits) on here, so you should too! Although I don't really go into detail much... :D

    Awesome rings & a great pair of nude pumps too!

  17. Absolutely adore the top and the skirt! I've been looking for a sequined skirt like that. <3 Every sequin skirt I've tried on in the past has been a major fail. The top is gorgeous, too (I'm such a fan of tops with lace, just like that)! <3 Well done!
