My little nightmare






I notice I've been doing this pose a lot lately. I don't quite know what I'm doing. Hand as an earmuff?


Smeary red lipstick, plaid, and a Levi's denim vest just reek of 90's grunge, don't they? My boyfriend got me this shirt (Alkaline Trio is a great band! Listen to their older stuff, it's better) and I haven't worn it all that much because I didn't know how to wear it and still look like my stylin' self. I whipped this outfit up over the weekend. What do you think?

The weather has been fabulous here lately. Almost 60°F at my house yesterday. In February. In Minnesota. Unfortunately, I had to work all day, but today isn't too bad, either (considering the average high temperature for this time is about 25°F). But, of course, what goes up must come down...I hear there's snow in the forecast for this weekend.

Oh shit, I'm blogging about the weather. Again. Anyway, in other news, did you all see my feature at Statements in Fashion? Check it out if you haven't! Thank you to Collette for thinking of me! I loved answering all the questions (I think it has something to do with being vain, but who knows).

P.S. Anyone else notice the problem with my hair in the first picture (hint: look at the bottom. Now look at the top. Now look at the bottom again)? Not cool. I'm glad I'm not high maintenance when it comes to my hair, or I'd be having a bitch fit right now.

Vest: Levi's
Scarf: J. Crew
Dress (worn as a skirt): American Eagle
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

  10. I looooove this look! And you look very springy. I can't wait to start being bare-legged. At the same, time, though, I'm going to miss tights. So nevermind. I'm totally wearing colorful leggies until it's unbearable. That shade of smeary red (smile) looks beautiful with your skin and hair!

  22. No matter what goes wrong with your hair or your clothes, you're still unbearably attractive. Damn you, Ashley!!

    The rest of us struggle with beauty and you couldn't shed it if you tried. And I'm not even gonna mention your 206 followers...

  23. Ha ha, when I started blogging I wrote down some absolute no-nos: talking about the weather, writing recipes... Guess what I'm constantly writing about - the weather! (When I start writing recipes, shoot me). Aaaaanyway, I'm finding 90s grunge quite alluring - especially on you. And the hair is a bit bi-coloured... oh well, makes it more interesting!

  24. it's ok dear. 2-tone hair color is in style right now :P

  25. I really like how you styled the shirt! And as usual, I'm about ready to come steal your shoes because they are just so fabulous.

    ReplyDelete

  26. Your interview at Statements in Fashion is so enlightening. I never knew that you were working on your sociology doctorate! And I agree that your style is definitely quirky, but that's the charm.

    And you're so gorgeous! I can never say that enough.

  27. Thanks for your comment! Your hair color is so pretty, I want red hair but every time I have tried it, it washes out. I don't mind AZ, I just don't like the town I live in because it's very "bro-centric," haha. Truthfully I'm just ready to move I think. Enjoy your trip! You can hit up my email if you need places to shop.

  28. I love how you've styled this and your shoes are fantastic. And you're a style blogger so the weather is a very important part of what you do, so I don't mind hearing about it.

    Loved your feature on Collette's blog - great to learn more about you and very well-deserved.

  29. Your hair is so wonderful. And I love Alkaline Trio's older stuff! :)

  34. the tips of your hair turned blonde? i didn't even notice it until u pointed it out!

    ReplyDelete

  35. Wow--I wonder if it was warmer there yesterday than down in the Twin Cities. I've been working all day and night on deadlines, so I haven't checked myself.

    You look great--the t-shirt works! And those shoes. Love them lots!

    ReplyDelete

  36. Ha ha I tend to go on about the weather too. I didn't notice the 'ear muff' pose at all - too busy admiring the lovely shade of lipstick you have on!

    ReplyDelete

  37. You may be channeling grunge but your beautiful skin and hair are perfection in these shots. You look amazing in the snow, so pretty!

    ReplyDelete

  38. You are owning this look! I'm not a huge fan of rock tees, because I just can't really pull off that look too easily - or at least it would take me a really long time to figure out how to do it. This, is adorable.
    Ps. I'm low maintenance on hair, too. (Obvs. since I haven't bother to even cover my grays) but I like the effect of your lighter strands at the bottom.

    ReplyDelete

  39. You third shot is gorgeous!
    and i'd definitely be upset over the hair, that is so crazy!

    Chic on the Cheap

  40. I definitely love your outfit, it looks beyond fabulous. I love your hair too, even though I understand why you are a bit upset about it. I think it looks pretty cool.

    Your shoes are so awesome, love them too.

  41. You did a GREAT job styling that shirt. It can be super hard to make a band tee look stylish, but you did it.
