middle of the map fest 2014 outfit options

Whenever I travel, I like to bring a lot of clothing options. What I think I want to wear one day, I decide I hate how it looks the next. I had a night to myself in a hotel room and decided to look at everything I brought with me and make some outfits with what I had. As a kid I used to do this with my new school clothes every summer, and here I am at 27 up to the same old shit.

Tonight Eloy, Rachel, and I went out to see Rory Scovel work on his new hour. I got two sweaters and a new
Tatty Devine sale necklace in the mail today, so I was psyched to wear my new stuff.

cabazon dinosaurs

Eloy turned 28 yesterday, so we spent the night in Palm Springs. While we were driving back to LA I noticed the dinosaurs in the distance and said "I am VERY interested in whatever that is." Eloy asked if  he should pull over and I was like "fuck yeah!" As it turns out it was the Cabazon dinosaurs from Paris, Texas, The Wizard, and of course Pee Wee's Big Adventure. We took so many pictures of each other.

FIRST

  Hello world! I kept putting off blogging because it seems so overwhelming. There are so many things about me that you don't know! There are so many songs I like and makeup I bought and I want you all to know about it now now NOW. However, I guess the present is as good a time as any to just...start. With that, here is my very first her name is ali blog post..

I got this skirt from ASOS in the mail last week and I am finding so many different ways to wear it. 

ASOS Leather Look Pencil Skirt

The first night out in this orangey faux leather number, I wore it with my Frances Ha jacket from River Island. Eloy gave it to me for Christmas. It's exactly what I wanted.

// Tights: Marshall's // Shoes: Swedish Hasbeens //

Did you see Frances Ha? This jacket is like a cleaner, more tailored version of 

the one Greta Gerwig wore throughout the movie. 

P.S. Greta, if you're out there, let's be bffs.

I wore the skirt again for the first Church at the Church on York show. It's a brand new comedy/music variety show at the up and coming Church on York, hosted by my friends Sean O'Connor, Beth Stelling, Julian McCullough, and Brent Sullivan. My band, Upset, played and besides the hosts, Jenny Slate, Anthony Jeselnik, and Kumail Nanjiani performed.
