Burn After Reading

(this effect isn't intentional, I just took a way crooked picture so I had to tilt it with photoshop. Yes I know it looks ridiculous)

I had been looking for a short-ish plaid skirt because, yeah, I'm sort of obsessed with schoolgirl inspired fashion. I dropped by my favorite vintage store and stumbled upon this cutie. It fits like a glove, the vibrant color is perfect to make every outfit POP and the high waist makes this in-between length a lot more flattering. I usually prefer my skirts either slightly shorter or slightly longer. This length tends to stumpify legs and make me look too straight-up-and-down, but  when I tried this skirt on it was surprisingly flattering. And my vintage shop was having their monthly sales again, so I snapped this baby up for only 3 euro! I love how it emphasizes my curves, this is like my very own beatnik version of a Joan Holloway look! Sometimes it can feel very nice to wear a skintight, constricting piece of clothing. Am I crossing over to "too much info" territory here? 

I was superpshyched when I saw my girl Jessie's shout out today! Her kind words flattered me to no end, and I want you all to check out her blog and tell her she needs to do more outfitposts because she is CHIC as hell! I really want her shoes. Because I already have her blouse, haha!

top, tights: Pimkie

skirt: vintage

shoes: Zara

beret: old

Haha, whenever I wear something a bit more fitted on top, I'm always surprised at the size of my boobs. Does that happen to you sometimes? 

MOVIE RECOMMENDATION OF THE DAY

Burn After Reading.

It is probably no surprise that I am a fan of the Coen brothers. Their best movies strike a perfect equilibrium between funny and poignant, and I do consider this one of their best. At the surface, you have a ridiculous story of secret agents and blackmailing that spins out of control, but underneath it all lies an interesting allegory on paranoia in our own personal, social relationships with other people, and how we never really know anyone. It's about being lonely, but it never forces its message onto you. Check it out! If only for Brad Pitt's HILARIOUS haircut and performance.

PS: it looks like I have a windmachine blowing my hair all glamorous in my first two pictures. I don't, it was just windy, but with awesome consequences.

PPS: I really want these shoes but they are sold out in my size. Booh.
