Desaturated.

Altered Knit - Junk Clothing Biker Jean - Tony Bianco Dodge Boots in Ash Suede - Agent99 Sheer Panel Tee - Yolo Om Leather Slouch Bag - Agent99 Diamond Cut Out Ring - Nightmarket Rings

So I know I've been in denial about the dropping temperatures (i.e. running around in pretty strapless dresses and shorts), but the mercury is going into hibernation, so I spent the afternoon giving in and pulling out all my beloved winter things. In doing so, I came across this knit that Mum had given up wearing and shoved in some dark little corner between a Hello Kitty belt and a ridiculous pair of cords that she insists on keeping in case we ever need to paint the house. It had this terrible, suffocating turtleneck happening, so (with permission and assorted blessings) I snip-snipped the stitching et voilà. You have an unfinished neckline and the warmest knit of my life!

More to the point, though, are these amazing jeans thanks to Junk Clothing. I think I gave up on all forms of jeans and most forms of pants half way through Winter last year (I'm still a bit unsure as to how I survived), because I could never find a pair that were skinny enough, straight enough, long enough, short enough, or affordable enough to be worth my time and glaring. So, you can probably imagine how ecstatic I was when I tried these on and they fitted perfectly... with a bonus sticker for the likes of knee pads, stitched detail on pockets and seams, and zippers for the badass. Junk, you have restored my faith in pants. And possibly saved me from frostbite :)

Understatement of the century: I will be living in these jeans and knit (and the Tony Bianco favourites if circumstances permit) for every other last minute adventure to the lonely little store down the road to buy vanilla essence - kind of essential for cupcakes (I wasn't just walking around outside for funzies :D)

Today was the last day of the school term too. I accidently pulled an all-nighter last night (I swear I had no idea and kept working until I started to wonder what the hell a retard bird was doing screeching outside at that hour) so this is the biggest breath out I've had in a while - hopefully my body doesn't stop functioning on me... does anyone else get that?

Hope you've all had an awesome week with a well-deserved Friday :)

*love*
