Look Sharp, Sconnie - Midwestern Fashion Nerd, Chronic Over-thinker

Gone to market.

Between its breathtaking operatic numbers, royal imagery, and courteous gentlemen, 
London may have tried to refine me.
Don't worry, it failed. 

After less than a full day of English fineries, I got a serious hankering for something a little less ... 
fine. 
So I made my way into the depths of Camden Market.  
Buckets of jewelry, pungent street food, aggressive vendors and vintage clothing (of course), could not have satisfied my cravings any better should they have been wrapped in layers of puff pastry.
Sometimes all one needs is a little grease and a little grime. 

And a life-sized animal statue never hurt.
(unless you're Ben Stiller, in which case, I retract the sentiment). 
wearing: top: vintage Guess (Good Style Shop), skirt: thrifted, watch: Anne Klein, glasses: formerly my gpa's
They speak to me, guys. I can't help it.  

But for realz. Camden Market's the place to hit up for any self-respecting hipster. Vintage oxfords abound, and a hefty slew of the cheap and chunky. 


Cheerio.

    There are some SUUURIOUS treasures to be found there. Jealous. Insanely jealous. I've wanted a set of vintage, beat up trunks or suitcases, and you've dangled this photo in front of me of what appears to me to be my very heart's desire - a sky high pile of the aforementioned! Also, I absolutely love your striped blouse with the collar being solid and the pocked stripe being thinner. Sups cute.
