it's gotta be rock'n'roll music

I wore this last Sunday when traipsing up and down Lake Street, Minneapolis with my best friend. It's a largely latino part of the city, so we chowed down some pretty good food and I got my favourite Jarritos grapefruit pop - or soda, if you're weird (& in my opinion, non-midwestern folk are very strange indeed).

This outfit also attracted quite a few catcalls and guys rolling down their windows (as if they cannot see perfectly well through glass, as it is). Boys are silly.



As you can see (though are probably not as thrilled as I am), the snow has vanished! It's terrific and I actually walked home after class today. The springtime is invigorating, once you get past all that muddy, melting snow shit. Now I can begin with my resolution to start running (yeah, remember that?)! I'm nervous about it, considering I was quite worn out after my half mile walk home today. It might have to do with lack of sleep and food (Wednesdays!) but it is probably because I've been a big, sleepy bear all winter.


As for the details of this outfit, which I'm sure you're absolutely dying to know, the skirt is from Heritage 1981. I snagged it from the sale rack for $5 last spring. I just love the shape and structure of it! I could dork out about it more, but I won't. But I will say, it is also mega short, much like me. The button down is from Macy's. The belt from my great-aunt, the socks from DSW, and the booties are Steve Madden. Oh, and if you refer to the photo below, the faux leather jacket is H&M. I haven't been shopping in ages, but I feel like I need to. The spring lines are already selling out and I don't need any more clothes, so it seems like the perfect time for some shopping.


Oh oh! Before I forget now, the lipstick I'm wearing in these photos is Centrifuchsia from the ever-so-amazing Lime Crime Makeup! I was also wearing their lipstick in my last outfit post, babydoll. There I was wearing My Beautiful Rocket and Retrofuturist. I'll do a more formal post on this all later, as I'm now addicted to their sugary sweet lipsticks.



I've been 3 weeks behind in all my classes, but today I had a few exams (on stuff I'd never seen before, isn't that a great feeling?!) so I can move on and catch back up (theoretically). Part of me feels like I should be more concerned with my classes & grades. Another part of me is glad I don't let the little things get me down!

So now, nap time can commence! I've been trying to decide what movie to watch. There're so many good nap time movies - Bridget Jones, When Harry Met Sally, Harry Potter...but part of me really just wants to watch Disney! I've spent the past week listening exclusively to Disney songs. Yes, that's what I use YouTube for, now. For watching "Colours of the Wind" and "Be Our Guest" and "A Whole New World" on repeat over and over and over again. It's too bad I don't actually own any of the Disney movies! But then again, if I did, none of my other DVDs would get any play....!
