Nothing but a fool's game










My outfit is inspired by the latest J. Crew catalogue. I really like it, except the chambray shirt underneath creates some weird lumps and bumps.

Dayum, this week is busy! I haven't been able to sleep in at all, which isn't a huge deal, but I get tired quickly on days I have to wake up at the ass crack of dawn. I like to wake up at 8 a.m., not be somewhere at 8 a.m. Friday is really going to take the cake, though: my alarm will be going off at 4 a.m., upon which I will be getting ready, taking a 3 hour car trip, and be ready and rarin' to go for an all day event at 8 a.m. And then I have to drive back home the same day. But whatever, I'm a big girl. It's nothing I can't handle (but I can complain about it in the process).

Shout outs: Muchas gracias to the people over at the Jeffrey Campbell Shoe Blog for featuring some of my shoe pictures from the last post! And thanks to Tracy at The Closet Shopper for quoting me in a recent blog entry. You know you've hit the big time when people start quoting you. Xs and Os.

Chambray shirt: Old Navy
Sweater-thing: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Blowfish

  1. There's a 4 o'clock in the morning? That's insane.

    And, yeah, you're being quoted a lot. I was in the mall yesterday and overheard a girl tell her friends that she's going to Old Navy "to get that fur vest Ashley wore..."

  2. Super cute!! I love the contrast between the open weave tights and the more casual look of the chambray and the boots. And congratulations on the recognition! That's really awesome! Good luck on Friday! :)

  13. WOW! I'm going to say that the Jeffrey Campbell blog featuring your pics AND linking to your blog is way cooler than my link to you. haha. Well, at least my 3 readers can find you now. My husband, his Dad, and my Dad.

    Love this outfit and I adore the new JCrew catalog styling. Now that's a job that I could get up at 4AM to go to. Styling photo shoots with great clothes? So fun. We need to look into this.

    xo,
    Tracy

  18. I love -LOVE- those boots. I covet! Good vibes for your hellishly early start - the best thing about ridiculously early is the feeling of extra time you have before all the world wakes up.
