it's conceptual

Playing: Fake You Out-Twenty One Pilots
Reading: Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
After waking up painfully early to get in line for the Jason Wu for Target collaboration, I decided that I would not go through all that work again for another designer unless they were one of my favorites. Fortunately, I lucked out with the Peter Pilotto For Target collection. A lot of the people that hoard clothes to sell on eBay end up returning the garments if they aren't sold quickly enough, so I was able to find a large chunk of the collection in the sales section. I liked how graphic each of the pieces were and how the mesh sleeves on the cardigan made it feel more sporty.
I also splurged recently on this pair of Dior boots with a misplaced heel, when I was on the hunt for prom shoes. They were on insane markdown at Nordstrom Rack and I figured this was probably my only chance to get such a wonky pair of designer heels for a decent price. Since they're black boots, I feel like these heels are discreet enough to be worn often. However, between these boots and the tops up above, I feel like my wardrobe just became a tad more bold and conceptual (read as harder to wear) than before.
Talking about prom, I realized recently that I never shared photos of my prom from last June. Here's a photo of Lauren and me doing the classic-John-Paul-staring-into-the-distance-while-saluting-some-unknown pose with the John Paul. Lauren was John Paul's and my mommy in journalism last year and since we were a family, we decided to take a bunch of Kardashian family-esque photos to prove that we were more deserving of a reality show than the Kardashians. This is one of the few photos that came out truer to our identity as a family than the Kardashians. Also, that Diane von Furstenberg dress is still one of my favorites. Invite me to a formal event, so that I can wear it again.

  1. I have the strongest urge to get something from the Peter Pilotto for Target collection thanks to your link. We'll see how I fare as the day progresses.

    1. DID YOU SEE HOW CUTE THE BATHING SUITS ARE? I'm kind of tempted to get one, since I didn't see them in the store.

    1. They're kind of tricky at first, but you just have to put your weight in your toes and it's fine once you get used to that. (:

  3. ohh love your new closet additions that colors are so pretty and bright!

    you look fabulous in that lace DVF dress i love the blue color!!

    you're gonna need lots and lots of layers!

    it's really hot and humid in the summer.. definitely different then socal. i grew up on the east coast.. 100 degrees in LA is not the same thing as 100 degrees in NYC it'll feel like you're melting.. and in the winter.. it's all about layers.. many many layers.. that can you peel off when you're inside and layer on when you're outside!!

    1. Perhaps we can finally meet! That would be so much fun! (I want to visit Canada, but maybe I should save that for spring.)

      Also, you just have to put more weight on your toes when you walk. It feels really odd, but you get used to it.

    1. Thanks! They would be great prom shoes, if it weren't for my dress. My dress is very light and spring-like (?), so these shoes are a bit too clunky for it.

  7. Wow, what a great find on those shoes! Very unique!

    1. I know right! They're gonna be hard to incorporate into outfits, but they're low-key enough where I think I can get away with them as my wonky (read: not outdated) shoes for awhile.
