So, I have to tell you about the BANGIN'* good deals I'm wearing in this outfit. Socks: knitted wonders found at J. Crew for $3.50. I'm not sure how much they were originally, but I know they were at least $10, so t'was an amazing bargain. I got two pairs. Skirt: found in the sale section of the MoA Urban Outfitters for $6.99. Oh, and yeah. It's a size zero. Suck on that! I've never been a size zero in my life. Not even when I was four. I think the sizing might be a little bit off because I couldn't even get my calf in a size zero pair of jeans at the mall yesterday, but whatever. I am wearing a size zero. Thank you, Mari Winsor.
Anyway, yes, good deals abound in this post. Originally I was going to wear the bottom half of this outfit with my Motley Crue t-shirt and leather jacket, but then I tripped (literally) over this faux fur vest (a.k.a. "The Ashley") from last year and had an epiphany. There was choir music and a light show and everything, so I took it as a sign and put this on instead. Good choice, no?
In other news, check out the bad ass bruise on my knee!
* In case you did not know, this is my new signature term. It has most effect when it's written in all capital letters. It's mine, not yours, so don't steal it and rip me off, or else I'll be mad. But if you think of me lovingly every time you use it, I'll let it slide.

Haha, wooohooo for Bangin' Bargains! (my trademark ;)) I love that skirt and yayy for it being a zero! But I hate that sizes at different places are different...it annoys me...I have pants ranging from 0s to 4s XDXD

With all the trademarks flying around I'm scared to type in anything in case I'm violating some trademark law! Love the second photo as it captures your mood perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI really love this outfit, but I mean, I always love your outfits so that's nothing new. Oh, and we totally have matching BANGIN' bruises. :) (Whether or not that even makes sense, I did lovingly think of you so you can let it slide!)
ReplyDeleteYour face is exquisite, and I totally love your skirt. Yay for great deals but nay to weird sizings for clothes. I say stop paying attention to the numbers and focus on the fit - makes life so much easier :)

ReplyDeleteYou look terrific. Nice finds.
ReplyDeleteI'm still struggling, mentally, with the notion of a "size zero." How can something exist when it doesn't exist? Doesn't a skirt that's size zero collapse into infinite nothingness?
hi! i havent visited you for a while because i have been so busy !! need to catch up! :)
ReplyDeletei love the vest!
This whole outfit is bangin! You look fab with the girly and edgy pieces. That vest is to die for!

oh i just love your fur vest!!! that skirt is adorable and such a good bargain :)
ReplyDeleteUmmm, HULLO! You look incredible. I think fireworks going off is a sign. Subtle but a sign nonetheless. Winky face.
ReplyDeleteI think if you try a bit harder you might actually be able to reach your earring with your tongue. Impressive.
What's with the bruise? Did you fall? And if so, was it graceful? I have a funny falling story to tell you. Perhaps when we meet?
xo,
Tracy
Well this is def a bangin' outfit to go with all those bargains :P Love the vest especially :)

That vest is totally bangin'. As are those fab boots! You look tough and gorgeous at the same time. Isn't that what every guy wants? ;)
ReplyDeleteThose prices are pretty amazing! & that bruise of yours just adds character :)
ReplyDeleteNice photos and nice outfit.
ReplyDeleteI love the 2nd pic- too cute! And a size zero skirt- don't you love when that happens! I'm covered in bruises- I'm like a giant peach these days!
ReplyDeleteBruises are the best accessories! I have one permanent one from the beginning of summer when I fell down the staircase. It starts just bellow the knee and runs down the shin. It's so beautiful! ;) I'm hiding it behind opaque black tights but believe me - it's still there! I think I'll rock it till next summer or so. ;) Oh, and I got few new ones recently! But they start to disappear. :(
ReplyDeleteHow did you get that bruise?? I have them all over the legs too, they look like a 6 year old boys.
ReplyDeleteThese are BANGIN' bargains. And I love it when the sizes are wrong, when they work in your favour! When I only fit into a 14, however, I'm disappointed. The colour of the skirt is lovely.
I love the outfit with the faux fur vest. It was an epiphany.

Bangin™ cool! And nothing beats the combination of a fur vest and a see-throw skirt. You're one gorgeous girl, Ashley (no matter what size).
ReplyDeletea see-throw??? what's that?! See-through!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. Love this fur vest goes great with your skirt!
ReplyDeleteRidiculous good deals!
ReplyDeletei have never wanted a fur vest when they have been popular but now that i am on a shopping ban i want one in the worst way... isn't that how it always is
ReplyDeletehope your knee feels better soon

Hmmmm... Sorry, how cold it must be to make you put on something warm? )))) You are realy brave girl! But it's a dress only for fotosession, I think...
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: Actually, I did wear this outfit all day. It's been in the mid 50Fs lately, and I've got thick Minnesota blood, so being cold isn't a problem right now!
ReplyDeleteOoh, how I love some good faux fur! Definitely a great choice to put the vest with this look:-)
ReplyDeleteYou look great as always!
Not only am I jealous of all the awesome bargains that you got (especially that skirt- I want!), but also of how cute you are in that second picture- too cute! :)
