flowery velvet monstrosity


I was going through my mother's closet, and came across this velvet monstrosity. However, I firmly believe that there's nothing that a cropped blazer and a pair of ankle boots can't save. A little chanel never hurts either.




Dress: Mothers, Shoes: Bongo, Tights: Target, Blazer: H&M Belt: Uniqlo (worn backwards), Bag: Chanel

These ribbed knit tights are crazy warm. Like my-legs-were-sweating-during-class warm. Need to get more.

Sorry I haven't been posting as much. All I've been doing all week is writing college essays while watching Who's Line re-runs on youtube. That probably explains why I have to finish three more before tomorrow night. Ugh.

Oh good luck! You'll rock it.

And I need warm tights so bad, England is like -10 where I am. And I refuse to wear trousers to school, I just hate the tackiness! School uniform is such a drag. haha.

You made the dress look so hot! You got skillz. haha.
