Lucy In the Sky

Growing up with a Beatlemanic of a father meant naturally adopting a fondness for The Beatles. It wasn't uncommon for family car rides to turn into Beatles listening sessions, accompained with trivia and quizzes on which Beatle wrote what song. I first heard "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" when I was 12. Man, it was unlike anything my little pre-teen self had ever heard and I adored it to bits. (If anyone is wondering out there, "Revolver" is actually my favorite Beatles album with SPLHCB coming in at a close second.) "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" captured my attention at first listen with its ethereal, "Alice in Wonderland" inspired lyrics. With all that in mind, I snatched this shirt the second I laid eyes on it. Especially paired up with this dream of a jacket from Dress Lily, this outfit brings back those Beatle listening memories, hitting me right in the feels.

And she's gone"

Weirdo

We've all got a bit of a "weirdo" side amiright? Maybe I'm just speaking for myself, considering I thoroughly enjoy the smell of new carpet and I physically cannot wink for the life of me. With all that being said, I wouldn't say this my strangest outfit. However, it's by far my most "80's mall girl meets kooky highschool art teacher" look (I say that like I have so many lol). I noticed after editing the photos how many different shapes I got going on here- triangles in the skirt, circles on the belt, and then the swirly earrings. All that's missing is a rectangular accessory like a square crossbody bag and I got nearly all the shapes covered (Oh, and a red octagon infront of my face cuz I need to stop making dumb jokes).

Back To The Daily Grind

With a baseball jacket and satchel from Zaful on my back, I'm finally back in school after a 3 year hiatus. Oddly, it seems like I never left (probably cuz community college feels a lot like high school). The best and only pleasant part about heading back to school as a kid was buying new clothes for the school year. Call it a weird "talent" but I can describe exactly what I wore for every first day of school I've ever experienced. Had this been what I wore for the first day of college, it woud have been my favorite out of all the outfits. This get-up *almost* makes me feel like I'm in a cheesy "back to school" Macys commecial but that's part of the reason why I adore it. Also, to me, the baseball jacket/ bolo tie combo offsets the commercialism of the overall ensemble a bit, because what weirdo does that other than me? (answer: maybe someone out there. If so, let's be friends!)
