La la la Lolita






I'm feeling so much more refreshed after a couple of days off from work and some time with da boi*. Yeaahhhhh. Tis a nice feeling to be relaxed for a change! I breezed right through my homework this afternoon. I mean, it took me three hours, but I was just like, "I'mma do this," and you know what? I did it. Right there on the spot. No distractions. Except maybe a small piece of cake and some chocolate chips. You know how I do.

I am in luuuuurve with my new crop top. So is everyone else, apparently. You know how you can just feel the stares? Yeah. Awkward. But I guess that's what I get for leaving the house with nearly half my ass hanging out. Oh yes, my friends, the shorts are short. I haven't been this much of a floozy since back in two-thousand-and-ten! Oh, and that 20°F temperature drop? Fucking awesome. Fantastic. Rock 'n' roll.

* Seriously though, one of my pet peeves is when people refer to their boyfriend as "the boy." Like, what? You never hear zee males talking about, "Oh yeah, well, I spent sometime with the girl yesterday." No. You know why? Because they're not dating a child, and neither are you. So refer to that "boy" as your boyfriend, your lover, your boo, your sprinkles, your fuck stick, your main squeeze...I don't care, just don't refer to your fully-grown adult male significant other as "the boy." Kthxbye.

Crop top: Motel
Shorts: American Eagle
Belt: Thrifted
Bag: Fossil
Sunnies & sandals: UO

  1. Me and my fuck stick are having a great time in NYC. I wish you were here. Seriously!!

  2. I really see the Lolita inspiration in this look- this outfit is actually pretty much exactly what I imagined her wearing the whole time I was reading the book :) Especially that crop top. Amazing! The fact that the temperature dropped 20 degrees fahrenheit? Not so amazing. Especially since you were in short shorts. But I'm sure you still rocked them :)
    xox,

  3. I call my boyfriend "the Dude" because he is a cool dude. Ha ha. It weirds me out when girls use "the boy" to be mysterious... why not just say who you are dating?

    ANYWAY you look awesome. I would stare at you if I saw you on the street, but only because you are a pretty lady looking fly as hell. The end. :]

  7. The last time I had a boy, it was high school, so it was appropriate that I called him such.
    But people come up with some pretty strange pet names to refer to the men in their lives on these blogs... just when I think I've seen them all I read something even more absurd.

    I get the love of the cropped top, it's adorable, as are the sunnies, that I still love.

  8. These are so gorgeous, I feel like the third picture especially could totally be in a magazine. And I agree, it's so annoying to me when people say things like "going out with the boy". :)

  9. I was gonna compliment your impeccable outfit but then you used the phrase fuck stick and I fell too in love with you to even think straight. I refer to my boyfriend by his name. Another pet peeve: When people mention their significant other in THEIR info box or in ANYTHING about them. Yes, they are a part of your life, but holy poo haven't we come far enough as women to define ourselves without a man?

    Back to your outfit. I love your top. So much.

  10. I love the lolita inspired look, that polka-dot top is adorable! :)

  12. One of the most valuable, and interesting, things about reading fashion-blogs for me is listening carefully to the way women talk. About everything. How they talk about their boyfriends/husbands is fascinating to me. I pay close attention and, as in many things, your blog stands out in its raw honesty, withering insight and gut-wrenching humor. What a terrific education you give me!

  13. such a fun cute outfit, i love that top! xo

  14. I'm coping Tracy's comment here... (without the N.Y. part of course!!). But I include the shorts part! 'mk?
    Kisses and hugs!

  15. Awesome, Ashley, just awesome. The outfit, but also the commentary. Man I hate it when people talk about "the boy." Know what I hate worse? When they list the boy under their likes. When they are generally incapable of making a post without stringing in some mushy bullshit about the boy. Sheesh, ladies, do you think if your boyfriend had a blog he'd go on about you all the time? Anyway, I know Sprinkles wouldn't. Ahem.

  16. haha the boy! wow lovely post girl! i love your writing so much!it always makes my day! :)
    love your cropped top and you look great in shorts :) xx

  17. I actually hate the term boyfriend for the same reason, having the word boy in it, it just feels so... high school hah. I tend to just refer to him as 'my guy' or 'my partner'.

    I really need to stop being a silly chicken and get me some shorts. We seem to be similarly built (I think) and these shorts look fantastic on you. Ergo I should have the balls to wear shorts too! I just feel so thighly-exposed hah.

    And that last photo of you... beautiful. :)

  18. Ok, one word: gorgeous. Love the flower in your hair!

    And I too hate it when people call their 'significant other' "The boy" ack. really, I read it or hear it and it makes my liver boil slightly, it's like a raw heartburn to my ears.

    Love that last picture of you, and your shoes! ( I just drooled on them a little bit, sorry about that )

  20. Wonderful! I wish I could be as bold as you to wear a crop top. This looks fantastic!

    Also, when I do get a new "boy", I shall refer to him as my man-friend. Good? Good. lols

  21. You for real have cracked me up with this post! The part about girls calling their boyfriends 'the boy?" Totally kills me,too!

    A few weeks back I wore an almost exact replica of this outfit and certaintly felt the stares, too! Who cares though? You look SO good!

    Thanks for dropping by my blog! :D

  22. I love the color combination of your sunglasses, lipstick, and the flower in your hair! Gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Wow! Amazing look. So special and unusual with the top but yet casual :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Your outfit is so cute. What lipstick are you wearing? I love the shimmery coral color (at least, that's what it looks like in the photo :D).

    And I'm guilty of using "the boy." Eep. But it's because I find some of the other words stifling, or ridiculous. Especially "fiancé" (the current appropriate word).

    ReplyDelete
  25. I love this outfit on you. You actually remind me of Dominique Swain from the newer version of 'Lolita.'

    ReplyDelete
  26. Spending a few days with 'da boi', sorry the fuck stick.... oh no, that's too rude for me. Okay then, the Main Squeeze (I like that) does you well good. Your face looks glowing, the outfit is great and it doesn't matter at all that only half the bottom is covered.

  27. digging your crop top and I am right there with you on the whole boy thing.

  28. hahha you make me laugh!

  29. Lolita would be green with envy looking at you. Love the sunnies too.

  30. Uh oh don't read my latest post- Used the dreaded "the boy" statement. I'm not sure why I started doing that, probably to protect his privacy but "boyfriend" doesn't give anythign away...hmmm point taken :) Girl, I need to work out at the gym double time so I can pull off crop tops like you do! Damnnnn!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. hahahah omg calling your man fuck stick is awesome! Very good visual :p I agree, calling your fuck stick (see, I'm using it already) "the boy" is about as annoying as calling your best friend "bestie". No thanks. I object to stupid nicknames as much as I object to ranking my friends.

    ReplyDelete
  32. You look wonderful!!

    I could never refer my boyfriend as the boy. That's just too weird. hahaha.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Well obviously they are staring at your crop top because it is awesome! Hey, it's summertime- I'm all for short shorts and flooziness! :D haha Glad to hear that you are feeling refreshed and nice job crushing your homework in a few hours!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. You look fab; I really love your sunnies here!

    And 'the boy' thing gets under my skin too whenever I read it, so thank you for writing that;) xx

    ReplyDelete
  35. Except in the case when guy is something like 8 years younger than girl and the girl has a mother syndrome then you can call "the boy" "the child". It sounded awkward :) We just love to tease one of our friends like that. In my language we even have a perfect word for that but in English it doesn't sound as nice. :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. I love this entire outfit, from the glasses to the crop top! Which only makes me realize how much I've let my dressing slip. What with work and the boyfriend being out of town, I've gone for seemingly weeks with no makeup and no style. MUST WORK ON IT. This is inspiring. I'm still too chicken to do a crop top.

  40. Yes, thank you for saying that piece about calling your significant other "the boy." It's such a recent thing that's cropped up, I mean our parents never called their lover "the boy." I personally find it really annoying. The sunglasses are super cute! http://thearcenciel.blogspot.com/

  41. very cute outfit, I love the polka dot top being the soft blue grey! I wish I could find one like that. The flower in your hair is cute too, I've been trying to wear more hair accessories lately for the summer for a bit of a change :)

  46. I, too, dislike the use of the article "The" to describe their significant other. It's obnoxious and people need to just stop.
    On the other hand, I adore the shades and the polka dot top on you. It's so summery!
