Silly School Girl

It is still peculiarly warm here, although, I guess the notion of fall and school just commands cool weather psychologically, but usually we're wrong about weather...Yesterday I sweated it out in this getup. I was inspired by bows and girly-ness as usual. The shoes are the best part, they are perfect triple-strap, with a chunky heel and square toe, so they are super comfortable. I bought them at work! Today I went to the beach and wasn't very fashionable, but I will be tomorrow for the hurricane!

Heat: Scarf Syndrome, Days 4 and 5




It is terribly hot here. I think I may cook my internal organs by exposing myself to non-AC air. However, I think it is the perfect time for Scarf Syndrome, since I have felt cooler by wearing them on my head!!! Today's Look is quasi-inspired by Grey Gardens. I am not attempting to toot my own horn, but Lilia and I have adored Edie, the documentary, and her style of dress long before right now, where BUST magazine and others have spreads. It's all because Drew Barrymore (whose voice is too clogged to be her, anyway!) is starring in an HBO movie based on the Mayles Brothers' movie. I was going to do a fall post accurately inspired by the documentary which I have been repeatedly studying for SEVERAL YEARS, but for right now, today I am dressed in an outfit I imagine her wearing when it's summer and really hot in the Hamptons...Photobucket

Top: A Betsy-hand me down
Pants: From Billy's mom from her trip to Paris!!
Bag: Skunkfunk from Betsy
Shoes: Nine West

I love these airy white pants!! I wish I didn't get so tanned, but at the very least, it compliments all the white I've been wearing. I wore this shopping/on errands with Billy yesterday, but when I got home, before class, I nixed the pants, it's just too damn hot!!!
