have you pinned?

Someone described Pinterest as fantasy football for girls, and I think that’s spot on (not that all guys like football or all girls like fashion, blah blah blah). It’s like choosing all the best ideas from the internet and categorizing them on a nice-looking cork board. Only it’s fun, not laborious, and you can discover beautiful, whimsical things by seeing other people’s pinboards.

I’ve found so many more recipes that I’d like to try and some cute looks I think I can pull off (green jeans?). My pinboard is here, and I can’t wait to see some of the things you guys are posting too!

opening ceremony’s ‘resort collection.’

(I’ve never understood why this is a common collection title name; I suppose people who can afford the clothes regularly go to resorts.) This collection features an actual dead animal wrapped around a sweater. It’s hideous, morally-questionable, and frankly, pretty disgusting.

The rest of the collection, however, is really fun. (Can I move on to fun after discussing a whole dead rabbit attached to a sweater? I’m going to try to suspend my disbelief.) Lucky for us, we will never confront the morality of purchasing anything from this collection because its price tags are far too high for almost all 20/30-somethings. I suppose that’s, once again, the benefit of second hand shops– one can usually find some unique, pretty pieces for less $$$$ and less guilt. Plus, I think I’m inspired to make a red head band. And it may very well turn out to be extremely man-repellant. lv, molly

This lady is awesome. And I’d like to raid her closet, please. Check out her fabulous blog Atlantic Pacific, and expect to feel somewhat covetous. lv, molly

You know how I feel about them. (Check out the sale section!)

more man repellant things i love!

Mixing patterns is a cornerstone of a man-repellant outfit. These patterns are ridiculous… Some might say “ugly.” Naturally, I love them.

Luckily for my boyfriend, I can’t afford any of these pieces. From the Australian company Gorman. lv, molly

the blues.

How pretty are these simple blue pieces by Steven Alan?

This goes without saying, but they are not in a grad student’s budget. One can lust after from afar. lv, molly

claire’s closet.

I love this website. You can browse fashionable ladies’ closets instead of doing all the things you need to do! Like lesson plan and complete your teacher certification project. Oh wait, that’s just me… procrastinating, which is obviously totally uncharacteristic of me.

Any who, I love this woman’s clothes. Plus, the pictures are pretty. Okay, back to work, for reals. lv, molly

 

springtime.

{I love this skirt!}

It was sunny in Seattle all weekend, and I can’t wait for spring. Despite my love of all things wintry, I’m ready to start wearing skirts san tights and recover my sandals from the back of the closet.

I love these sprightly pieces from Emerson Made. You and I probably can’t afford any of them. (I’m making some assumptions here; you’re probably a friend of mine in her 20s or 30s, and few of us has means to buy triple digit clothing items.)

Still, we can appreciate the aesthetics of the clothes and use them as inspiration when we go to the dollar bin at Goodwill. Not kidding. lv, molly

Big hats: good for rain, remaining inconspicuous, looking silly

(I have that David Bowie stuck in my head, you see.)

I’m convinced that high-waisted, wide-leg jeans are this season’s “it” jeans, and I’m jonesing for the perfect pair in a very blue denim (see the blonde lady’s below). The ’70s are a nice alternative to all of the ’80s-inspired fashions as of late.

What do you think of the high-waisted jeans? Too close to mom-jeans? Chic?

Bigger things on your mind? Good, me too. lv, molly

side pony = awesome.

One of the reasons I’m growing my hair out is because I love messy side ponies. The main reason is that I’m lazy and/ or mildly poor.

Doesn’t this look effortlessly chic and a little bit lazy? I like that look. lv, molly
