Living In A Quirky World


Top- SUNO x Uniqlo
Transparent Choker-Shop Lock Hart
Draped Chain- GUESS

Happy Monday everyone! hope you all had a great weekend...I certainly had a fulfilling one, between going thrift shopping for the first time in Brooklyn and meeting up with some old friends from back home in Jamaica. The outfit is above is one I wore the day I went thrift shopping. I woke up feeling like  one of the Spice Girls obviously hahaha, I know my hair is a little different from what your use to seeing but, I wanted to sort of experiment a little and try out different styles so I did this playful Mickey Mousesque hairstyle by just wrapping two small buns at both sides of my head. I wanted to do my whole hair like that but I have really thick hair and there was no way I could get my hair to cooperate with me. As for the outfit, I went a little softer and a tad bit quirky. I've been wanted to hair this top on my blog for the longest time but somehow it's always being left out, It's one of the pieces from the SUNO x Uniqlo collaboration and I can't begin to express how much I love this top. I love how they mixed vertical pin stripes with these small beach sand like/leaf motif...it's so cool to me personally and I know I'm going to have a blast styling it. I decided to pair it with another amazing piece, this cutesy asymmetric denim skirt. Overall, I enjoyed doing the shoot for this look and wearing the outfit was very fun too and very different from the looks I usually wear.

Sun Of A Gun


Top- Vintage
Baroque Inspired Shorts- Made by me
Long Sleeved Blouse- Thrifted
Shoes- T.U.K Creepers (Journeys)

I know you're probably wondering why I've been wearing the same three pairs of shoes so often in my blog posts but, that's really because I go to my internship in the days and they are the most reasonable shoes to wear since I'm always running around and my usual 6 inch platforms aren't exactly ideal. I plan to change it up a whole lot very soon and maybe retire my creepers and coltrane boots for a long time because, slowly I'm sort of getting tired of them. Regardless of that, I have to say... I'm in love with this look! I think the idea of mixing two totally different prints is really interesting and adds a nice quirky touch to an outfit. I would usually never wear my school projects at all but I fell in love with the baroque print of the fabric which I eventually made into a pant for my sewing class. I hated the style of the pants we had to wear, it was kind of a bell bottom and had the weirdest fit ever...so I chopped off all the leg area so I could wear it as a shorts which is perfect for summer time. I wish I had a valid reason why I paired these two specific prints together but I simply just winged it and crossed my fingers that they would go well. I added the touch of teal with the blouse overlay, as a way of bringing out the colours of the top and shorts. I have tons of new stuff coming to my blog very soon so, please come back and check it out. Have a great weekend!
