Obscured Skin


(Rings left to right: Akira Chicago, Forever 21/ Bracelet: Forever 21)


(Clothing and belt from the Thrift store)

More crop-top love. It's a tad too hot right now to wear anything so literally I feel like wearing nothing unless it's airy and skin-worthy. Alas, it's summertime! And my wardrobe is only filled with thin airy shirts I can breathe in.

The Batwing Lady



Wearing:
Baseball Cap (Target)
Black Lace Blouse (Thrifted from Goodwill)
Bat-wing Cardigan (Old but simular on Yesstyle here and here)
Pleather Leggings
Steve Madden sandals (simular here)

Out to watch The Great Gatsby movie last night! It was fabulous. Great times for a late night mother's day celebration. Oh Gatsby. For the premier with mum and friends, I created this Fresh-Off-The-Boat-From-Korea-Look with this lovely bat-wing cardigan I bought several years ago. It's a great staple piece to wear on top of monochrome looks. Plus, you don't look frumpy or lazy because the fit gives you an extra "unf" you know what I mean? Anyhow, Happy Mother's Day everyone!

End of the Sophomore year, insanely hot. The end of the year brought lots of challenges in terms of how much I can push myself creatively, and I really feel a place I fit in this design world. I feel the pieces fitting in all around me, and all the support necessary is abound. This spring feels fresh and new, white is the new black. White the color of renewal and cleanliness. I've got a new appreciation of this romantic spring color, and it feels so right. Let's celebrate more with this color.

Ever since I raided my mother's closet over a year ago in high school, I've been obsessed with the vintage cuts, styles, and of course the velvets. Since then, I've expanded my closet even further with additions from local thrift shops with vintage clothes, accessories, purses, costume jewelry, sunglasses, and shoes. This collection of stuff was the biggest incentive to start my own blog, as I've taken a preference to buying cheap for the sake of a college budget haha! But of course sometimes I buy a bit too much (too much instant-buying), so, I've recently started up my own Etsy store to alleviate the damages ;D 

It's called Ur-bann-ed Vintage, and features some of my hand-picked vintage items that I've found. Check it out for a mix of grungy and angelic vintage. :D

But anyhow I hope ya'll enjoyed the haul, but just curious, where do you get your thrifted finds? Lemme know in comments! Good night for now though, See ya'll tomorrow for an outfit post. <3
