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.

spring wardrobe ideas 2014

I'm so excited all the fun new spring clothing is starting to show up. I was browsing around on River Island and put together a couple of looks. I'm thinking this spring I wanna wear alot of coral, pepto bismol pink, and orange paired with silver shoes. Also anything palm tree or daisy print.

As usual, I will probably be wearing lots of lipstick, lashes, and Tatty Devine. When I get some spending money I wanna track down a black heeled shoe/boot of sorts to wear with almost everything. Any ideas?

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.

// Jacket: River Island (similar) // Sweater: ASOS // 

// Necklace: Tatty Devine // Skirt: ASOS // 

// 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.

The show got a nice little write up here. Check it out!

Ok, time to go watch some more Dance Moms.
