phew! for a minute there, i kinda sorta thought i would never do an outfit post ever again! i just got into this funk where i couldn’t think of a new outfit for what seemed like forever. this is pretty ridiculous if you can think of it. imagine me in my underwears, sitting in a giant pile of clothes, lamenting, “oh i have nothing to wear!” my boyfriend thinks this is pretty funny. i told him i used to do the same thing when i was a little kid. my mom sometimes reminds me that most of my childhood involved several wardrobe changes in one day, much to her consternation.

so i’ve basically been like a record on repeat for the past week. i had an outfit the other day and i did a little photo shoot, but i let my perfectionism get in the way and i scrapped the whole set because the photos were too grainy. forgot to change the camera settings… and then suddenly blogging became really daunting when i realized how far behind i am in reading all of my favorite blogs, and it always seems so much nicer to just drink a few glasses of wine and catch up on old episodes of big love. that show is genius. and i’m in love with chloë sevigny.

but that is beside the point, and the point is that i think i got motivated to try something new because i got a little trim for my hairs yesterday. it’s shorter and more severe now, but i really enjoy the change. i almost feel like i might be so bold as to go above the eyebrows on my next cut, now that i’ve got mr. shannon dean as my new stylist. nothing better than a hairstylist who serves you rye whiskey and listens to 90’s gangsta rap and heavy metal.

and i bought this white eyelet dress because what i really want is a certain lace dress from wren. but i have a feeling that my wallet would not approve, and i haven’t seen it for sale anywhere either. not that i’m actively looking. i don’t want to tempt myself, you see. and anyway, i like this dress because it has floral eyelet details which i think go quite well with the pattern on these sheer flower tights. ok, now back to those episodes of big love…

wearing:

glasses, 3.1 phillip lim

oh, and p.s. i started up a lookbook account again. it’s kinda lonely over there, so if you’re on lookbook, add me as a contact so i can find you!

  5. I love how you have put together a black and white outfit that really pops!

    The lovely eyelet fabric of the dress, and the flower detailing on the tights just makes this work so perfectly.

    And your hairstyle is so chic it tempts me to cut off my hair! (but at the same time I have been growing mine for nearly two years and its only almost getting to the 'long' point … almost)

  27. I flippin' LOVE YOUR HAIRCUT! You look so great <3 This is a lovely outfit. And don't worry, I've been in a major outfit funk for quite some time…the whole transition from summer to fall/winter has done a doozy, and I'm kind of starting to feel like I don't know how to blog anymore. Sigh. Hopefully you'll inspire me to get out of my rut.

  34. Lovely combination–I like the two textures playing off of eachother. Your hair looks amazing and your stylist sounds amazing. If I'm ever in the area I want her to "fix me up!"
    Also, I know the feeling about clothes…lately I just want to buy, buy, buy, everything older than a month is boring me to death…I'll have to get out of the funk somehow since I don't have unlimited funds!
