i was going for a "dynasty 80's does 50's new england nautical" look for my second masters degree meeting. also these are my other pair of glasses. the frames give me a headache so i don't use them much
jeans: thrift [st. john, for $4 haha! i tapered them from the knee to make a skinny fit. also the tag on the inside says its a size 2. i'm no size 2, but i'm still one happy chickie to say i can shimmy my ass into a size 2], belt: vintage [its an authentic Soviet military uniform belt. the buckle is the hammer and cycle and the inside is printed with a bunch of Russian text]

a year prior i would have throttled anyone wearing just the matte leather shiny leggings from American apparel. and in a year i managed to get one hell of a great ass and have no problem wearing them now, especially on the first time going back to school alone after over 6 months for my first masters degree meeting
