Beer Garden (T-Shirt Challenge!) - Part 2/9

7/5/2013

Super stoked to wear my new vintage floral blazer, you guys! :P I've always wanted a floral blazer and I was lucky enough to receive it from a Brazilian girl in my swap group. Based on a little research, my estimate is that it dates back to either the mid 70's or early 80's. It's in excellent condition and the colors are so rich. I added a closeup so you can see all of the aesthetic chaos. It really is a sight for sore eyes!

Sorry about the overexposed pictures, by the way. The sun kept going in and out and I just got tired of having to re-adjust the camera settings. Hehe. So, anyway, I decided to pair the floral blazer with my totally rad Threadless tee. I think the print is pretty self explanatory. Haha. Who doesn't like beer?

That's basically it. The only other new things I'm wearing are my ankle boots. They're great! I desperately needed a pair and I think now I'll be able to take a break from wearing my adjustable calf boots. I swear, I feel like I've been wearing those boots in like every other outfit photo. Haha. :P

I guess I should also mention that I wore this outfit mainly for a day of coffee shop loitering. Just a window seat, cold chai, crumbly sweets and a book that I've been trying to finish since forever. :D

Future Past Perfect (T-Shirt Challenge!) - Part 1/9

T-Shirt Fashion Challenge!

From Top Left to Bottom Right:

SUX (Austria), Yan (China), District of Chic (D.C.) & Yours Truly ^_^

These are just a few styles demonstrating that t-shirts don't have to be boring. I think there's a little bit for everyone here. There's the casual/edgy look, the eclectic/colorful look, the elegant/chic look and then..uh..me. I'm not sure how I'd classify that one. Haha. Just your average color-block look, I guess.

I'm bored and I need a fun fashion challenge, so I'm challenging myself to wear a t-shirt every day for the month of July. :D I've found that I have a ton of t-shirts and I haven't worn many for most of this year. I've got enough Threadless shirts to last me three months. Yeah... So, this should be easy! :D

I was curious as to how many different ways I could style an outfit around a t-shirt. I figured, if I made myself think about it every day this month, I would surely come up with at least a few really amazing styles and that would make this all worth it. Haha. So, here's one of my styles for this week.

This is going to be a quick post, since you've seen most of these pieces before in some way shape or form, including this t-shirt. The last time I wore it, I was in Portland! You can see that look here.

I wore a pleated black maxi skirt at that time. Here, I opted for my latest plaid maxi (and instant favorite), jazzed it up with a blazer instead of a cardigan and finished the look with some combat boots.

I've also got a new hairstyle. Hehe. I'm channeling Janelle Monáe a little bit, I guess. :D I never know what to do with my hair. I wish I could just wear a hat every day, so I wouldn't have to think about it. Haha. I really don't care about it at all. I'm trying to make more of an effort, though. Maybe, I'll do this particular style again. I have to admit, I do like it and it definitely got people's attention. :P~

Yep. It's really nothing special. Just a skirt, boots, a blazer and a shirt. However, my aim was to use colors and textures to make the overall look aesthetically appealing and fun! :D Also, this t-shirt is one of my favorites to play around with due to its versatile color and surrealist retro inspired print. <3

I'm going to avoid wearing jeans with my tees during the challenge. So, let's see what else I can do! :D

Thrifted - Puff Sleeve Blazer, ModCloth Maxi Skirt (sale) & Floral Tights
American Apparel - Long Sleeved Lace Bodysuit
VJ Style - Gold Studded Barrel Bag
Threadless - Polaroid T-Shirt
Hot Topic - Combat Boots
