I love love love thrift shopping. Thrift stores give us this nice opportunity to add some really cool and unique pieces to our wardrobes without spending tons of money (I mean, I’m a cheap person and also a broke student, so that’s that).
Hello! Today I wanted to share with you one of my simple and easy summer (ish’) outfits. I go through random fashion phases where I want to wear these unique and bright 90’s inspired clothes, flared jeans, stripy colorful tops and so on.
So, I get lost. A lot. Probably more than your average person does. Or maybe not – after all, I’ve only ever been me, so it wouldn’t be very fair to make assumptions like that. But it feels like a lot.
There are days when I simply can’t find her. She was here, how is it even possible that she’s not? Where is she? I try to go on with my day, but nothing feels quite right. I tell myself, oh, she’s gonna come back soon, don’t worry. But I just can’t stop myself from wondering. Why she left. What I’m supposed to do now. Then I start looking for clues.
Today I’m comming your way with a new outfit post. Culottes. Definitelly one of my favorite pieces for a spring season. Culottes were super popular last summer but it’s only this year that I got into them.
So, where do I begin? I remember all of those days. And early mornings. Or maybe midnights. I mean, I couldn’t tell ‘cause you were a big advocate for the belief that time doesn’t actually exist and humans made that whole thing up. So, for the obvious reason we weren’t supposed to be looking at clocks.
Blurry skies. Cracked street tiles. Wind sitting on every windowsill, playing the same old bittersweet melody (she probably wants to get in). Orange coffee cups. Indie rock. That particular song from last fall, but I can’t remember the name. Polaroid pictures. People talking in secret languages. “Stuck In Love” for the tenth time this year. And “500 Days of Summer”. Almond croissants. Quiet. Busy streets. Crappy coffee from university’s vending machine. Still coffee, though. Free periods. Old notebooks filled with arts and crafts and never-ending lists.
For a really long time I thought that I’m one of those summer people that LIVE for hot beach days, warm nights and the sense of freedom this season brings. And I totally get why I thought that, ‘cause summer is so beautiful and bright and poetic and you don’t really have to think that much. Summer is. Attractive. You get a chance to run away from your hectic thoughts and that is appealing for most people. Including myself.
I don’t remember much stuff from my early childhood ‘cause I have terrible memory but I clearly remember being 5 and thinking that you kind of look like a small kitten. I have no idea why. And yeah I know that it sounds ridiculous now. But you did look like a kitten and I really liked you because of that. Or maybe not because of that – I was 5 and as I said I have terrible memory. But I swear I remember you so freaking clearly.
Mom jeans. Where do I begin. Mom jeans are THE clothing piece. It’s definitely my favorite clothing piece ever. I love it so freaking much I would probably wear it nonstop for the rest of my life if I could. I want to be buried in a pair of one. Like seriously. I should probably write an ode for a pair of those. I feel like mom jeans are one of those statement pieces that don’t really enhance any of your features nor are very pretty but somehow it still looks super cool and makes any outfit appear interesting and stylish.
