The purpose of this Dispatch is, in addition to showing you what I think is a pretty cute Spring outfit, to prove that, despite my hideously massive clothing collection, I wear the same things all the time. All the more reason to stick to my Spartan Resolution, I say! Which reminds me, since Issue 05 is soon to move into the design stage, I’ll begin auctioning off much of said collection next month, thus moving fast on my way to a streamlined and elegant wardrobe OF DOOM. My madness is your gain!
I snapped these bad boys in LACMA’s Rodin garden while waiting for and installment of the Tarkovsky retrospective. It was a perfect day – the sun was out and the wind was just cold enough for it to be official jacket weather. Is there a place where it’s this way all the time?
The Ingredients
- Woven scarf
- Fitted faux leather jacket
- Draped gray skirt
- Black shiny leggings
- Engineer/motorcycle boots
- Fingerless knit gloves
I’m letting my hair do what it wants, mostly out of curiosity. Since I’m no longer straightening it regularly , it rewards me with soft messy curls and serious volume. I’m hoping for enough patience to get it looking a little like this mane of yesteryear, but blue.
1st!
I wear the same things all the time, too. Only they are not as cool as your things.
Aren’t the lampposts outside the LACMA? My memories of LA are hazy and melted from the sheer and unforgiving heat.
It’s gorgeous, the lights are gorgeous, you are especially gorgeous. Strangely enough, i wrote about something similar today:

About the hair: have you ever gone without shampooing or conditioning it? I did for a year when i was maneful and with the occasional diluted vinegar rinse, the texture was never better. Worth the slight salad smell.
Crush in full effect.
Wow, that leather is faux? It looks genuine.
The hair looks like a pro “messy” job, so I think you should stick with it. Spring, you say? We got 10cm of snow here today!
I dig the skirt on you more than I def dig the skirt in the listing for it. I’m such a skirt nerd. Skirt with leggings in the fake Florida winter, Skirt without leggings in the death of summer. Skirts = my favourite things in the universe.
The curls are really adorable, keep letting it do what it wants! I’m sure it’ll look deathly cute when it’s longer.
I always wanted my hair to be curly. Mine is straight. =))))
For some reason, I find shiny leggings/tights to be awesome… on women, at least.
i’m having mad, mad fits of lust over that skirt, but the link i followed took me to one that seemed different. is it the angle of the shots?
Erica, Melissa, my actual skirt is imported from Spain [thanks, mom!] so I tried to find the closest thing I could. It’s not the same, sadly, but it’s the best I could do. The shape is fairly similar, at least!
There is a place where it’s sunny and clear but cold enough to have to wear a jacket all the time. Wellington, New Zealand. I’m serious.
