Here's my Riot Grrrl/90s grunge look. I even styled my hair grungy too, though you can't really tell. I let the pink hair hang and took the blonde and made two little buns on each side of my head. And these pants!!! I picked up these amazing pants at the Goodwill by my apartment last week. They were way too big on me and they were flares, just so so ugly. But luckily I had been on the Love Charles Vintage blog a few weeks before that and had seen how Lily turned a pair of no-so-flattering pants into lovely skinnies. It's so simple, you guys have to check it out. You barely need to know how to use a sewing machine, you just need to own one!
I'm not really sure how I feel about these nighttime shots, but I do like mixing it up. Being consistent to the point of becoming boring worries me.
Workkkkk!!! I love love love love love your thrift finds! You look amazing. You should take some pics of your hair boo. I bet it looks even doper than you described!

ReplyDeleteI don't want this to be taken as rude, but I wanted to let you know that I find the hovering, follow-you-down-the-page header really annoying. It cuts off like 1/3 of the page. And, on a blog like this, featuring great fashion photos, I don't want something covering up the photos that I'm trying to look at.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog- I don't want to be rude by criticizing your blog design, but I think it may be something to consider getting rid of (the hovering part, not the header completely- it's a cool design) or maybe asking your readers what they think.
No no no! It's not rude, it's critique! I'm used to that when it comes to design =) Don't worry about it. The hovering header was actually something I was worried about, as well as it covering up the photos. The resolution on my computer is large enough that it doesn't cover up the photos, but not everyone has a resolution like mine and I should take that into consideration.
DeleteI actually asked some of my followers via facebook, and I think on my blog as well, if this header was annoying. I'm glad you responded!
Thank you =)
I feel the same too- at first I thought my computer was broken lol, but then I realised it happened on every one of your pages haha xD
DeleteLove. Rock on.
