Look, I don't have the authority to tell anyone anywhere ever, what to put on their body. The fun thing about getting dressed is that no one can. I don't give a shit what you think I should be wearing, and honestly, that realization is one of the most thrilling moments I have ever had.

My current fashion icons, we'll start with my forever icon, Miss Peg Bundy.

Ilana Grazer from Broad City.


Erykah Badu for Givenchy (also, for life).


And, Joanna Stayton / Annie Proffitt (Goldie Hawn in Overboard)











There are more people who inspire me, and I plan to add them accordingly. 



Here is the outfit I wore on Sunday to celebrate my birthday with some of the best people I know.

#iwokeuplikedis

after 5 1/2 days of sleeping in i did not want to get up this morning for work. however, i willed myself out of bed about an hour before i had to leave and decided wholeheartedly not to wash or brush my mop, just dry shampoo those baaangs. so i did just that, thus please excuse my coif. i slapped together this outfit in a pinch, this skirt has become my go to when i don't want to work too hard to get dressed. she can be dressed up or down and i consider her very flattering.


skirt: forever21+ , denim shirt: target (similar here) , tank top: forever21+ , boots: forever21 (similar here and here) , glasses: cause i had no time for mascara (pardon the glare)


within a couple hours of arriving at work i experienced a mild "altercation" with a certain person who referred to wes anderson as awful. i informed him that he was in fact awful and he told me that i looked like i just woke up. i took that as a compliment, quoted beyonce in lyric and hand motion "i woke up like dis" and returned to my work. the day improved from that point on, thank you queen bey.
