So I'm just gonna go right ahead and entirely counteract everything I whined about in Monday's snooty little Coachella post because...
I admit it,
Dressing up is fun.
In fact, I do it pretty much everyday.
I wake up, stare at my war-zone of a closet, and decide what part of my octa bi-polar self I feel like materially channeling as I roam the dungeon-like classrooms romantic city streets of Madison, Wisconsin.
True, most days it's inevitably that part of myself that loves baggy tops and pregnant-mom reminiscent leggings.
But sometimes,
sometimes
I venture so far as to punkify, hippify and, yes folks, even de-birthcontrollify, my physical being to embody the traits of that part of me I temporarily wish held sway over the domineering geek within.
Regardless of the fact that I ultimately return to ill-fitting glasses, equestrian-themed footwear, and some derivation or another of a sheep's sorely missed exterior (PETA <3's me), I wouldn't trade my time exploring those little remnants of my alter-ego(s) for the world.
Wearing: shirt: Trafaluc, pants: J. Crew, rest: unknown |
So I present to you Anastasia - in a me-styled ensemble. Who is she? Well,
Who am I?
Who are you?
Muahaha. Cheers.
loving the vibe of this outfit. The color of the pants really makes the outfit stand out.

I love your writing. It made me chuckle quite awkwardly to myself in a large empty room.
ReplyDeleteI also love this outfit. That graphic tee is awesome.

HAHAHA, oh Gabrielle, I love how you so eloquently (yet humorously) expressed your ardent fondness for dressing up and your affinity for maternal attire (but you're not to blame - I am also an absolute SLAVE to comfort). This post, like my preceding commentator, made me chortle quite inelegantly and with such a high amplitude that the people around me were rather startled at my response. They are now slowly edging away from me ... but it was SO WORTH IT.
ReplyDeleteHehe. Lovely and lighthearted post, as always. Never change your gifted writing style. :) I also adore the styling - very apt considering how thematic Coachella is at the moment. ;)
Hope your weekend is as sparkling as your are!
