{For Fashion's Sake} Saturday: Greek, Egyptian Something or Other.

10.08.2011

When my mother-in-law saw me in this she said I looked like a Greek Goddess.
When my father-in-law saw me he said I looked like an Egyptian princess. 
 When Marcus saw me he said I looked like Leia of Star Wars acclaim.
Little did they know that what I was really going for was simply a hair-do that would cover up my greasy unwashed mane and an outfit that felt most like I was wearing a bathrobe, but would also be acceptable in the post office, grocery store, and an evening restaurant. 
But, you know, I won't complain if they see it differently.

also, see that awkward piece of hair hanging down in front? ya, i clipped that with nail clippers today...and it's not the first time i've done that. that's the kind of cool i am--not cool.

the breakdown:
maxi dress: j.crew sale
cream undershirt: c/o undertease
bangly necklace: forever21
gold stacking ring: favor jewelry
flower pin: made by me, (from one of my june.july belts)
gladiator sandals: forever21
