OOTD: I Feel Naked

It's a weird thing, posting a picture of your wearing clothes on a fashion blog because you feel naked. I mean, does it defeat the purpose? Or am I just so hipster that wearing clothing that makes me feel clothed is too mainstream? Oh, the many questions that come with this post.

Dress- LUXE

Shoes- Steve Madden

Purse- Kate Spade

Sunglasses- Target

But in all seriousness- this "dress" is supposed to be a dress. Again, I'm not making much sense. However, it's because I'm so tall (and the fact that it's designed after what I can only presume is a toddler's dress from the 1960's) that this dress is more like a tunic, but really too long to be a tunic and much too long to be a shirt. So I just told myself I was channeling my inner 1970s plane stewardess and went for it.

I lasted about two hours. It's just so uncomfortable to feel this exposed! Even with shorts on underneath I felt like every eye was on me (my Millennial mentality is kicking in there) and the back of my legs. It was super fun while it lasted, though. It almost makes me wish I'd been a teen in the 60s and 70s-almost.

And before I go, I'm pretty sure the lady across the street from me hates me after taking that last picture. I didn't realize it was her actual driveway because it leads into this run down shack-like building that I NEVER see cars in. I just assumed it wasn't in use anymore. Fair game, right? Wrong, apparently, because as I was snapping this last picture her car came tearing around the corner and almost ran me over. As if taking pictures of yourself in public wasn't awkward enough...

PS- Let's all just take a minute to look at my purse. I'm pretty obsessed with it at the moment- so much so that I'm going to do a review post about it sometime in the coming week. My love for quality leather goods knows no bounds.

90s Babe

Top- Urban Outfitters

Jeans- Old Navy

Shoes- JuJus

Sunglasses- Thrifted

Watch- SwatchWatch

The only this I really have to say about this outfit is it was a 100% representation of how badly I want winter to end. The jelly shoes are calling my name, so much so that I almost want to buy a clear glitter pair, and I just discovered they are on sale at ASOS. This could be dangerous...

On another note, I was super pleasantly surprised by these jeans. My boyfriend's mom gave them to me because she couldn't really wear them, and I'd never attempted Old Navy jeans before. Not only were the longs actually long enough, but I quite like the fit. I wouldn't be opposed to snagging a pair in white.

Have you been surprised by any brands recently? Tried anything new that might be worth a shot?

Cat Eyes and Contrast

Sunglasses, sunnies, shades, spekkies...no matter what you call them, they will be a summer fashion accessory until the sun burns out. And there are no shortage of styles. Big, small, round, square, Ray Bans, Oakley's, the list goes on. For this summer, I've been looking at a pair of black large cat eye glasses for a while now but I haven't been able to find a pair that weren't way out of my price range :( Something similar to these:

These are by Tom Ford. Are they not just utterly fabulous? It's too bad that they're $390

But since those are so far out of my price-range that I can't even see them on the imaginary line of prices, I'll have to just continue dreaming. I've got 4 pairs right now, but I don't own a classic black or brown pair. I've been on the look out, but I just haven't found the right pair yet. What kind of sunglasses you guys have or want? What kinds do you find beyond hideous?

Side Note: I just purchased the most amazing shoes on Ebay. They are dark pink and light pink contrast imitation Lita boots *drool*. Since it'll be a while until I can purchase the real thing on a college budget, I found these lovelies from a link on She Wears Fashion, one of my most favorite fashion blogs. They were only $20! They're shipping from the UK though, so they ended up being $34, but considering the actual Litas would have cost me $160+, I thought it was a pretty good steal. I'll be sure to let you guys know when they come in, and I can't wait to be able to do an outfit post with them on!

Until then, xoxo
