Weekend Wishes

Hey kids!  I always want to blog again when I make life changes.  I guess I just get a surge of productivity or something.  I'm not often able to wallow in unhappiness for extended periods of time (except, you know, during that CERTAIN period...see what I did there?) so I try to keep keeping on since I know the healing time will roll by.  

That being said, let's look at some weekend wishes, shall we?

It's a motorcycle jacket, but it's fuzzy on the outside too.  It just looks so cozy and cool, something that cool me that only lives in my head would wear.  No wonder, since it's by Free People, a brand I constantly want pieces from.  Currently there are only larges left in Free People's Gilt sale, if you must have it.

Thanks to Refinery 29, I am now completely obsessed with jewelry by Made Her Think.  These earrings in particular are making me drool all over myself.  I love the soft, romantic feel that rose gold has, and I how MHT has blended that with the medieval-esq pendulum and the smokey quartz.  I'm seeing soft oversized sweaters in muted colors, black eyeliner, and a seductive nude lip.

Oh, wait!

My cool alter ego would totally wear the earrings with this top by Raquel Allegra.  Very laid back hot.  And nothing extra underneath to hide the unmentionables.  "A little bra never hurt anyone" is becoming a motto of mine.  See?

Anyway, while my alter ego is chilling in her Brooklyn loft with some smoldering hunk and wine, I'm gonna spend this weekend working on my thesis, watching Saints football, drinking lots of tea, and being a retail slave on Sunday.  Kisses!

Want: Asymmetrical Skirts

It's no secret that I frequent the Urban website several times a week to check the new stock, and I won't lie to you, some of the stuff they sell is whack.  Their prices can sometimes be a bit much too, I'm not going to pay them over twenty dollars for a t-shirt that is uninspiring and cheap.  In any case, I was rather torn when I saw this little gem a week or so ago:

I couldn't even add it to my wishlist because I was so torn about my feelings.  It seems kind of stupid for it to be short on just that one side, no?  From the right, she looks like she's in a mini, from the left, some sort of awkward midi, and from the front, she looks like she went about shortening a skirt but got bored halfway through.  So what's the deal?

But then I saw this one:

The cut on this one is rather less dramatic and therefore more wearable/less silly.  Props to the folks at Old Hollywood, by the way; the styling here is tres chic.  And at this point I was intrigued, and went on a hunt for more.

This style is rather more dramatic, but I actually really like it with the leggings.  I think it veers away from that awful skirt/short dress with leggings trend that happened a bit ago (Note: a tunic and leggings is fine in my opinion, just don't ruin a good skirt/dress with them) to something a little cooler and edgier. Plus I wouldn't feel like I was about to expose my hoo-hoo.  But uh, it's about 400 bucks on sale.  Yep.

However, I think I like Chloe's take on the traditional schoolgirl skirt the best of all.  A little bit of an unexpected shape with a very traditional plaid, and I love the belt detail on the side.  I can already envision it with a soft, off white sweater, patterned black tights, and my Fryes.  Alas, it isn't even in the stratosphere of a college budget.  But a girl can dream!
