Show me the good stuff

There is no better feeling than when you are watching a show and a character is wearing something you own. And even though it's 12:50 am and you're the only one in your bed you still let out a screech and a "AHH that's my shirt!" Then you find a reason the next day when you're out with one of your friends to bring it up and even though you're expecting them to be like, "Sweet Lord Jesus that is the coolest thing ever, you are so awesome and stylish and perfect," instead they are always like, "Um, okay?"

Disappointing.

But you tell yourself to ignore them and continue thinking that you're at least a whole level above the population style-wise. Like come on, these are professionals picking out their outfits--you just stumbled upon your look because you have excellent taste. I prefer to think of it as a validation that you did something right in your life, like, "Look! I'm fabulous! I'm a stylist! I think I wore it a little better but maybe that's just me..."

Want some examples? Of course you do.

The sweater I'm wearing in this picture was seen on 90210 on the character Dixon Wilson:

 Tah dah! Okay, yes it's a men's sweater but honestly I have never seen a real life man in it with the exception of a gay man I met at a party my freshmen year of college. It is ridiculously comfortable, matches with everything, and fits nicely into my all black, grey, and blue wardrobe. I got it years ago at Urban Outfitters, obvs in the men's section. Dixon Wilson can flaunt that sweater with pride knowing that I am his style twin.

Next, this skirt seen on Tamara in Awkward. (if you're not watching it you probably should be) is one currently in my closet:

And here I am wearing it while bopping around NYC:

I bought it in cream, clearly. It's a Kimchi Blue lace skirt that I bought at the Newbs Street Urbs. Holla.

Next, this gem of a shirt I'm wearing in front of the Mediterranean (no big deal):

Can also be seen on this week's episode of Awkward.

Now, I also work in retail at the infamous Lucky Brand Jeans and as soon as I saw these pants in the Spring collection I knew I was going to rock them to their full extent. Here's a fatefully unattractive picture of me in them at work next to this little girl that will someday be famous--she sang in the store for us and the customers, and I got her on video:






And here's what they look like on the Lucky site:

Then  the most exciting thing happened when I was on Spring Break this year--I saw them in (I believe) the April issue of Cosmo, as a recommendation of how to wear patterned pants.

Needless to say I'm borderline a fashion icon.


Now, there are a few other items that I have acquired that blur the line a little bit as to who had it first. I recently purchased this Free Peeps slip:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Free-People-Sheer-Mesh-Trim-Poppyfield-Tunic-Top-Slip-Dress-Shirt-0-2-XS-/161026366541

I have yet to wear it because a) it's see through so I'm trying to figure out the proper under-dressings before I slut it up and b) I want to wear it with a long, oversize sweater which I am currently unable to do since it's a constant 82 degrees every day right now. Before I bought it, but while I was looking at it (I would definitely say we were in the heavy flirtation stage of our relationship) I realized that Alison Argent on Teen Wolf wore the same one a few weeks prior (BTDubs I got it on Ebay for a legitimate steal so you should probably hop on that):

 I wouldn't have worn it with such a tight shirt, but maybe that's me. She still rocks it and we still love her--except her new haircut, we all hate that. Side note: is anyone else confused as to why grandpa Argent has like a Scottish accent when their family is French?


On the other hand, I have done a bit of style stealing from this show. Like this outfit:

http://style.mtv.com/2013/06/24/teen-wolf-season-3-episode-4/

Did I completely hunt down this outfit then buy a burgundy leather skirt and blue button down so I could be as cool and stylish as Lydia?

Um, yeah I did.

Sad?

Yes.

Totally worth it?

Obviously, have you seen this girl? She is literally everything I want to be and if I can creepily model myself after her like a future mentally unbalanced stalker, I'm going to. No need to hate because you didn't think of it first (if you're wondering, though, I got the skirt and shirt both off of Ebay, AKA my mothership).
