overall chic..yes its possible

overalls and chic aren't really two words that belong in the same sentence. when I first got this denim overall cutoffs set from Urban Outfitters I wasn't sure how I'd wear them. then it just came to me. I decided to try to dress them up. Which I thought would be quite an impossible task but with the right footwear and a blazer...I think I made it work.

a rose has it's thorns

I've come to a conclusion that I have a certain way of dressing that's both feminine yet with some edge. I don't like anything to look too pretty. I have to scruff it up with a masculine shoe or perhaps some skulls in a ring or bracelet.  A rose is sensual, beautiful, and bright. It's petals are soft and sweet. Yet it has thorns. It can be dangerous to touch.

These are some photos I took last year for a contest and completely forgot to post! I also love the edge of the red snake print shoes.

what i wore to the reunion

so the day after Thanksgiving while I was visiting North Carolina I went to my high school reunion.

yes...i am 28 and im not ashamed damnit. i dont look a day over 24 without makeup lol.

anywho...i wanted to be chic yet a little edgy so i went with this basic black pencil skirt with leather panels from H&M and this new camouflage tee that I picked up at Urban Outfitters.

i think it made the perfect understated statement and yes i saw my high school ex boyfriend. i still remember when he had to take out his retainer before we kissed. ahhhh Youth. its so fleeting.
