this is not hip

So I feel inspired lately by newest wrinkle to have more interesting, beautiful pieces.

I often buy cheap or basic items, which are nice, but it would also be nice to have a few really beautiful pieces.

Here are some pictures from the post that inspires me the most:

Nothing I would wear but I love the delicacy and the quality. This girl gets most of her things from anthropologie and  built by wendy, neither of which I can afford at all, but I think it will pay to start saving for nice items in the long run. Also, I have a $50 banana republic gift certificate I have not used yet that could come in handy for these purposes. Maybe instead of trying to get a few basic summer tops with it I should spend it all on one really nice item.

So I’m thinking about ear cutouts. I think they’re pretty cute.

These are the best pictures of cutouts on not really short hair that I could find

Not sure how well it would look on an a-line, but madradhair was confident it would work. also I’m not sure i like my ears that much and I might we way self conscious about them always. Also cutouts are probably a bitch to grow out.

ALSO I really like this cut. I think it might work on me, though it would involve growing out the back of my hair pretty hard. But so cute! Also pretty awesome intense cutouts.

Also I like her color a lot. And I have like the same skin tone as her so I know it would work. I wonder if I could get it done over my bleached hair over spring break. It’s like my old color, but lighter and greyer and with a few lighter chunks it looks like.

Opinions plzzzz

So I think my ultimate goal is to grow my hair out to this length/cut

and holy shit is this girl sticking her chest out in this picture

So I got an email from Alloy today about a “secret clearance.” Alloy usually sucks, but they can have alright stuff so I checked it out and found that some jeans I had my eye on were now only $15!

Nothing really special about them except that I really wanted a pair of blackblack jeans and I have brown jeans in the same brand/style so I knew what size to get, which is the biggest trouble with pants

And since these things always charge ridiculously for shipping, I threw in a couple other things I had my eye on.

First, this shirt was only $6

And so was this skull scarf

Nothing super exciting, but some pretty nice basic cheap things.

I am on a huge scarf binge right now. Anyone wants to make me happy, buy me a lot of silk/cotton scarves. forserious

So I hopped on the Euro-hipster bandwagon and ordered a shemagh from some ebay dude based on Cairo (which is pretty cool).

I won’t have it for 2-3 weeks since it is so far away, but I’m pretty excited.
