HEY YO, SLIM!

vintage art deco lounge jacket, AA crop tee and slim maxi skirt courtesy of American Apparel, vintage Sienna hat, vintage crochet customized fringe bag, vintage DIY studded stacked platforms, vintage chain belt, turquoise cross necklace from Darine, vintage multi cross necklace, vintage bangles and B.E. rings
It's official I'm OBSESSED with slouchy lounge jackets, cover ups...whatever! It can make something so simple, like B&W, look like you put in a lot of effort. Especially if you're lucky to find one with bold colors and such a neat-o art deco print. I just love the flow and "that all eyes on me" effect it gives.
Well over the weekend Joel has been watching his 1940s detective flicks over and over. So I actually drew a lot of inspiration from the male characters. Of course I virginized it with a burst of color and a fringe bag! Too bad I can't be a real detective, you would be able to spot my ass a mile away!
Soooooooo the weather has cooled down but it's definitely back on the rise. I'm so anxious to see what the Summer is going to be like! Probably FUCKIN' HOT but at least I'm going to spend half my Summer in another city. I try not to boast but I am just too excited!! I'm going from Buttfuck, TX to New York City!! It's like when Country Mouse visits City Mouse...you know the Tom and Jerry episode??  Hahaha!! Yeah it's going to be fucking sweet. I'm dying to see Ephraim's reaction. He loves to see different types of people and styles. It'll be fun to show him that I'm not crazy. Other people dress like this everyday too!
Before I go I just wanted to thank everyone who understood where I was coming from in my last post. I'm no blog guru...just a normal Texas girl who enjoys blogging for real and not from a commercial stand point. I also wanted you to know that I don't have over the top camera equipment with lighting. Just me and my tripod! I like being the underdog. While others are waiting for the elevator, I rather take the stairs! That's just me. My Mom always said I like to do things the hard way.
Kisses,

AND I JUST SAT THERE WITH HEARTS IN MY EYES

(everything thrifted from head to toe except shoes)
vintage yellow polka dot mini dress, vintage crochet maxi vest, DIY floral headband, vintage yellow heart sunnies, vintage southwestern bag with customized fringe by me, Blowfish Garrett cork platforms, AA peekaboo sheer socks courtesy of American Apparel, vintage hand necklace, vintage bangles/watch and B.E. rings
Awwwww yeah can you feel it?? The sun's shining but not melting your face off, the wind violently blowing in your hair and all the crazy park bums seem just a little bit nicer today! It was soooo amazing out I had to bring out my old friend Dottie. She always a crowd pleaser with her bold and vibrant color to her flirtatiously deep neckline. Plus it like perfect for this weather cause it's only 2 feet of fabric...enough to cover my ass and keep me cool!
Moving on...trying to look for a house before June and plan a month long trip to NY is like the hardest thing to do. I mean child birth was tough but DAMN!! I just need to get all my ducks in a row and maybe I can stop losing my fucking mind. I'm scared that Ephraim will have to go to summer school again. Ugh ANXIETY!! Thank Satan I have you guys to calm me with your sweet words. Nothing like a blog to keep you from going bat shit crazy!
Love all my readers and thank you all for hanging in there with me this far! It's going to get better....I can taste it!
Kisses bitches,

POP OFF!

vintage neon orange corduroy pants, AA oversized stripe man blouse courtesy of American Apparel, Dolce Vita for Target gladiator wedges, vintage straw boater hat, vintage oversized cross necklace, vintage Things tote bag and B.E. rings
So I've been DYING to try the colorblocked/pop of color trend for like weeks now! My orange cords was the perfect solution. Not only are they the perfect color for my skin tone but I thought the stripes in the cords was a good mix with the oversized stripe top. I decided to tone it down since the pants and top can speak for themselves. A simple hat, cute tote and espadrille wedges. 
When Joel told me he was getting me shoes from Target I'm not gonna lie I cringed a little! Don't worry I'm not a Target snob!! They just always have a weird fit and plus I like my shoes sky high. But since I'm outta the loop I didn't know Dolce Vita made shoes for Target. 5 points for Joel!!
Tonight's our anniversary and were going to my FAVORITE place, Boiling Crab!! It's Asian style crawfish, lobster, shrimp, crab...etc done in this spicy boil. I like to leave with my lips swollen and my eyes and nose runnin'! Ahhhhhh it just so fucking good, SERIOUSLY I can't wait!
Well I gotta go and start picking out what I'm going to wear tonight. I suck at dressing down but I have to since it's going to get really messy. I'm thinking red skinnies and B&W oversized polka dot tee, idk?? 
LOVE YOU ALL,
Virgin

SLOUCH & FLOW

vintage Smokey the Bear hat, gray semi circle slouch tee, AA pleated maxi skirt courtesy of American Apparel, leopard faux fur Zara bag and skinny belt, Bueno Bueno feather tails, vintage necklace and bangles, B.E. rings and DIY platform boots
All I want for Spring is flowy and slouchy things or the polar opposite of neat and pretty. This outfit is the perfect example. Heavy on top and draped long on the bottom to form the ULTIMATE SLOUCH and FLOW!! I like a lot of movement when I walk or just move period. I also like a maxi skirt that's not to low to the ground cause hello I want you to see my shoes, DUH!! It's kinda simple but very dramatic.
So my weekend has been awesome even after some minor scraps and bumps at work. I was FIRED then rehired within 20 minutes. My manager didn't have the right to fire me so I got my job back. Even though I didn't want it back, I need a simple job to keep my benefits for Ephraim through the government. I was given the rest of the day off plus I was already off this weekend. So it couldn't have been given at a better time. I was denied time off though to go to NYC, BOOOOOOOOO! But it's cool cause I'm in the process of looking for a new and real part-time job. And get there in the Summer. I really don't want to break the news with my bestie cause it's just going to break her widdle heart. We're like the same person she's just asian and I'm black. Just two cute goal driven bitches who just so happen to love clothes and wanna fuck around in the fashion industry. Love you D!!
Love you all actually but I gotta go play meteorologist to make sure it doesn't rain later so I can go through with my double shoot today!! 
Kisses,

FRINGE

(everything thrifted from head to toe)
 vintage gauze floral fringe capelet, $3 American Apparel dress found while thrifting, vintage Smokey the Bear hat, Zara leopard faux fur bag, Bueno Bueno feather tail, vintage oversized cross necklace, vintage bangles and B.E. rings
So my LATEST OBSESSION right now are floral fringe capelets/coverall! I would stab someone for one that has a red and black velvet burnout effect with extra long fringe, mmm YUM! I searched online and some of these people want a leg, arm, first born and your cat when it dies. Way outta my budget! So I found a shawl while thrifting that did the trick, it's gotta be a good one, with eye catching details and fringe, not your grandmother's movie shawl!  Just add 1 button or as many as you like to the front and BAM instant fringe cape. Slouch it over whatever you like. I decided to do a black out and bring your eyes straight to the capelet. Try it at home kiddos, this is probably the easiest DIY ever!
For the past couple of days I've been really busy but for some reason EXTREMELY HAPPY! I've been walking to work which helps me cut out time at the gym. Renewed my faith in Jamba Juice and bought one of those oversized calenders from Walmart to help me stay on track. I can honestly say "life is good"!!
Thanks for all the love on a daily,
Virgin

SHEER MADNESS

(vintage faux fur hat, vintage fringe sweater cape,  ModCloth Salt Lake Pretty dress,  AA sheer nylons courtesy of American Apparel, DIY teddy bear head plushie bag, DIY leopard F21 platform booties, vintage chain belt, vintage cross necklace and vintage bangles
Is it just me or is everybody over Winter and ready for Spring? Everything I've been buying lately is has been for Spring. I can't believe Texas is going to have another cold front this weekend!! Like seriously I am sooooooo OVER IT!! I'm DYING to show a little skin, geez!
Anywho wish I had more time to ramble on and on but today is my only day off and I'm off to do pictures! Thank you guys for hanging in there while I go through some minor changes. I seriously love you all and wish I could meet each and everyone of you personally. You guys say the nicest things that help me make it through to the next post!
