Last Kiss

 I have an abnormally large collection of thigh high socks for someone who rarely wears them. Today, because of the gloomy weather clashing with my sunny day mentality, I decided a pair of thigh socks would be the perfect thing to keep my floral romper cozy. I love the look of a short hemline, long socks, and a long sweater. The juxtaposition of abnormal lengths is something that I always love in an outfit. I've had this cardigan for a long time, and it's probably the coziest thing I own. I was really excited to have an opportunity to style it up a bit. Working the outfit with my Jeffrey Campbell minimal lace ups was the cherry on top of a cute rainy day ensemble for me. Unfortunately, none of these items except the shoes are still being sold. Sometimes I shy away from items I know aren't sold any more because it means it's less fun for you guys, but I think what's more important is me giving you outfits that I think are truly, well, cute! I'm not ready to kiss these items goodbye just yet.

What do you think of knee high socks? Do you have any items you just can't get rid of?

You? You.

Hello there! I was pretty excited about my outfit today. My friend and I decided it would be a good time for her to hop on a train and come visit me, which of course translated to it was a good time to go shopping. And that's what I did! I've wanted a romper for such a long time, but I can never find one that fits nicely on me. My legs are so long that the style can look really awkward on me. But this awesome romper from Urban Outfitters, with it's circa 1992 look, was the perfect size and shape! I thought it would be a perfect time to wear my new hat and ruffle socks as well. I had a lot of fun these last few days with my best friend shopping, eating pizza, and going to a Titus Andronicus and Super Chunk concert at the Crystal Ballroom! Every time I start to think I'm sick of Portland, someone visits me and forces me to get outside my Portland routine. I especially love going outside my routine fashion wise, and I think I accomplished that in my friend and I's recent shopping trip - It's always good to go shopping with someone who is honest about what you should and should not try, and this outfit is totally me but at the same time something I wouldn't normally wear!

Do you ever wear anything that's not really "you" but still very you?
