Pleats In The Breeze

Gooood day, y'all. It's such a beautiful day to just kick back and hang out outside. It was a kind of windy out too, so it's not just deadbeat heat in sun city. It can get pretty hot up here in the high desert of SoCal, and since it is summer, I just wore really light-weight and hassle-free clothing. When in doubt, opt for chiffon- one of the most versatile things ever. I chose my chiffon tank top and my pleated mid-length skirt from American Apparel. This is one of the purchases I got from the American Apparel factory flea market in mid June. So glad I got it; it's such a soft and comfy skirt. For other items I wore, I just slipped into my Steve Madden gladiators, Steve Madden sunnies, my trusty gold ear cuff, and some gold rings from ASOS.

The Ombre seems to have more of the "faded" look now, FINALLY. Took over a month to get to this point, and the colors still look a bit choppy. Oh well. At this point I really don't even care anymore, haha. But I'm glad I got the Ombre done. Yolo.



Ombre Up & Down

rings- (from left to right) forever 21, gift from a friend, jewelery stand that comes a few times a year at Costco (silver).

A perfect summer day; the temperature was about 28-32 degrees celcius (80-85 fahrenheit) with pure blue skies, and I spent most of it indoors, yes. Haha, but I was out bright and early for my physical education summer school class. We ran a mile today, and my calfs are still a bit sore- yay. Besides that, I decided to play dress up and brought this outfit up. It's been a while since I've gone out in public with my fringe up and off my forehead. I felt pretty naked... (lol). Here, I am wearing my trusty chiffon button-up from American Apparel; this top is the most versatile thing ever since my loafers which I also wore. They're my dupe for the UNIF hellraisers, and I think I did the right thing in getting these Steve Madden's over the hellraisers. These are a bit more toned down from the edgy-ness, and I will probably wear them for a long time until they wear out. The spikes are on more of a gold-ish tone, and they are blunt spikes. I had small bites of jalapeno's with my dinner tonight, and I just iched my nose, and now my nose is getting that spicy sensation... Now those are pretty hot jalapeno's! Back to the outfit, I wore my new lime-green dip-dyed shorts from XXI, which added the perfect amount of color to this outfit. Ombre head, ombre shorts- cool stuff, man.
