If you, for some reason, haven't watched it yet, I wont say anything other than, I bawled, several times, and I'm still confused.
Alright, I needed to get that out of the way.
Today's outfit was centralized around my kitty tank. I have had this shirt for a very long time and haven't worn it in even longer. I found it while cleaning out my closet, from the dark regions of the back. It's really too small for me (and it was always a little small for me). It was a gift from a once boyfriend, we were in Urban Outfitters one day, I mentioned that I liked it, and he surprised me with it. It was sweet. Also sweet that he thought extra small was my size.
I contemplated the 'get rid of pile', but I simply couldn't do it, and I decided to make it work.
My new acquisition for today is this little tye-dye bag. I don't like tye-dye because it has all these connotations in my mind of things that I don't like, such as Birkenstocks, dreadlocks, weed, frisbee, and the last day of summer camp every year when we made tie-dye tee shirts with cheap dye that would fade to grey after one wash.
So it's odd that I like this bag, but I'll tell you why I do like it:
It's turquoise (and pink) and reminds me of a tasty mixed drink, it feels like summer, it has three separate pouches all with hidden magnetic closures, the chain detaches if you want to use it as a clutch, and it was only $24 at TJMaxx.
The rundown
Kitty top Urban Outfitters - Shorts Gap - Hat Market in Italy - Bracelet Etsy - Sandals Nine West - Bag Big Buddha
The tank doesn't loo too small - it is a perfect fit. Love the bag.
ReplyDeleteAh, I wish I hadn't given up on Lost all those years ago. I adored it when it first started but I got so peeved when no questions were ever answered (I can be a tad impatient) that I just gave up out of defiance. Haha. I think I'll have to watch the finale, though. For old times sake.
ReplyDeleteGlad you kept this top, looks great with the shorts!

I just purchased my first tie-dye piece for the summer! I'll probably keep it to just this one item (a tank) since I'm not counting on this trend to stick around. I love the bag!
ReplyDeletecute cute tank! and it sounds like you have a keeper for a bf :)
ReplyDeleteI have been reading some theories about the ending of Lost - hard to recap without babbling on and on but if your interested I can send you the links :)
That's the perfect dose of summery tie-dye. Like you, I'm not a huge fan of the print, so I'm surprised at how much I like this clutch. Nice find!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm glad you kept the tank. It's adorable on you!
You look great! I love how your bag amplifies the colors of the kitty on your shirt. So lovely! That drink looks awesome!

I really like this look, great style...lovely hat and bag!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're keeping the top : ) and I envy that bag- I'm not a tie dye fan either but that looks more marbled than tie dyed.
ReplyDeleteAnd OMG lost! we had the re-cap on, but I was baking cookies so only saw bits and pieces.
As for the final episode ... sheese they know how to leave people confused!
The bag is so cute! And aww how cute of your old boyfriend XD

Oooh the bag is gorgeous...I don't usually like tie-dye either, but the leather flap brings it out of the hippy area enough :D
ReplyDeleteLove those Gap shorts! So classic and chic!
ReplyDeleteLove the hat...love the clutch...and I LOVE tie dye. HA!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, we just made shirts a few days ago with cheap, already faded tyedye so I got a laugh out of your comment. I really do like your clutch, though! It looks more gradient than tyedye if anything.. and gradient is beautiiiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh my gosh! That's an amazing contest. I sent my entry right in, just in time! I'm really excited about it, thanks so much for showing me that! Sharpies are so fun.
nice post looks cool lovely top it looks great on you nice bag too
ReplyDeletehave great day
I think you are working that tank. I think I have said this here before, but I love tie dye. I like it in more muted shades, and not quite in a Grateful Dead way. However, I am still obsessed with it. I think gray and white tie dye is A Ma Zing. Maybe that's just me. Anywho, I love the clutch.
ReplyDeleteI love that bag! I am the same way with tye dye (probably because I live so close to Boulder, CO. I could get roped into the hippy skippy fashion). Anywho that bag is wonderful and the outfit is great!

I love your kitty tank! xx
ReplyDeleteThose shorts are super cute and I LOVE the new purse! I actually really like tie-dye, as long as it's done in a modern way, like this bag (rather than ultra-hippie)
ReplyDeleteeek kitty on shirt, I love it!
ReplyDeleteWasn't lost great? I can't believe I watched 4 1/2 of TV at once, but it was bittersweet.
