Lala's Style of the Day





When I got dressed, I wanted to "double-tights" it up by layer the sheer hose with the white opaque tights on the bottom, but somehow the inseam was way to short for the hose and no matter how much I scrunched up and up I just could not get the tight's crotch to match up with my crotch. That sounds sort of disgusting now that I've typed it out but it's the best way that I can communicate the message to you. So finally I decided to cut off the toe part so I could lift it up more. The result turned into a grey-ish, deathly sickish looking color. Me loves it. You can't really see the details because they're on the back but basically theres little triangles near the feet and a long line down the middle.
  • Alpaca Sweater that I took in and hacked the sleeves off: $2.50 from goodwill
  • Double belts: 0.50 local thrift
  • Pink shorts made from pink pants: thrift
  • Massive gnarly looking black scarf that reminds me of dreadlocks: 0.50 local thrift
  • White tights: 99 cent store
  • Sheer hose: 1.50 local thrift
  • those shoes once again! Yes Patent Shoes & Rants, I am obsessed with these shoes. Sadly, I think I know why the original owner donated them in the first place, because on the inside they are literally falling apart. The black plastic-y lining is melting onto my feet and leaving horrible stains on my white tights! Oh well, I will continue to wear them still: $4 value village
  • Mexican hair clip and spider man rign again :)

I realize now the first picture makes my bum look big. Really big. I'm an "apple bottom" now. Haha, no way.

Oh Jesus, Christ Almighty, it's almost Friday already! Today was a pretty uneventful Thursday except for a little surprise!

My illustration got front page today in the newspaper! WAM BAM THANK YOU MAM.


Awesome no? I worked a lot on it only to realize that all the stuff that took me a lot of time I didn't even want with it anymore.

That sweater is amazing. My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy because I randomly blurted out 'are those llamas?!' , alpaca is close enough to still be epic.

LalaLiu said...

soul tanggg- it's made from yarnish stuff. It reminds me of a feather boa though :D

I must say- I found your blog about a week ago and went through all of it.. You have one unique style there guurl! that's boss. When most people dress the same, we have to appreciate the ones who are special (at least some of us should..).

That went out so cheesy but i'm sure you got it :)

Hey, thanks so much for your kind comment over on my blog- it's really sweet of you.

And looking around here, I totally love and hate you. Hate in the jealous way- your clothes are divine, and I could never pull off the Busby Berkeley matchups that you're sporting so awesomely.

XOX,
Lo
