Hello!
Today's outfit was inspired by this photo while I was browsing through my tumblr's dashboard. At first I didn't think this skirt could work with stripes, but now I know that it'll work with the right striped shirt! I would've worn this with my red bow belt, but I think I'll give my bow belts a bit of a rest so you don't get sick of them.
We took these photos while on a study break before getting dinner and ice cream. Have I told you how much I love ice cream? It puts me in the best mood! For a while I preferred frozen yogurt since it's not as thick, but froyo's cookies n' cream is no match for the ice cream version. Which do you prefer?
I have so many bug bites--seven currently and in the most awkward places, like one on my toe. I definitely need to buy some bug repellent cream and put it on before bed because that's when I get bitten. Can't these bugs pick on someone their own size?
After dinner, we walked around a mall (but I again resisted the urge to step into a store). We visited the candy store, where they had some pretty crazy candy and drinks, including this Love Potion. We were feeling a bit adventurous so we decided to try it. As you can tell...it tasted horribly. It tasted like cherry 7-up, which I don't like. I don't even like cherry coke all that much or even cherries for that matter.
I also finally bought some fake flowers to thread on my bike's wicker basket. Michael's was having a huge sale, but I need to go back and get a few more stems since I apparently didn't get enough. The next thing I'm looking to get is a basket for the back so I can put my books there while I bike to school in the Fall. So I guess this is what boys feel like when they're putting together cars...Interesting.

You did a pretty good job with your outfit! It is similar, but very different at the same time. Your bike looks really cute! I love putting baskets on mine as well =)
ReplyDeleteoh my god your bike basket! i'm in love with it (my bike basket when i was still in the single digits was pink and tacky :P). i adore how the stripes in your belt and your shirt are similar but different enough to create an awesome look.
ReplyDeleteand send that love potion right over. i love cherry coke! haha
Love potionnumber 9~~ *starts singing really badly*
ReplyDeleteI love your belt! It looks like it has one of those twisty-lock closures like on vintage purses. So different, I likey. :) && d'awww! Mr. Bikey looks too fabulous.
I love your sandals! Also, your bike basket looks so cute with those little daisies :)
ReplyDeleteYour Schwinn bike is so sweet with that basket! I love your remixed outfit, that shirt actually looks perfect with the skirt! Haha I love how your belt blends with your shirt! I really like soft serve ice cream, but I'm not sure if that's ice cream or froyo. I think it's more like in between :)
ReplyDeleteaawww your bike is really pretty!! i was just in a thrift store awhile ago and i saw bike plates. oohh, i should have gotten them for you!!
ReplyDeleteanyway, you're looking so cute! stripes and chambray for the win!! :D i hate the cherry + soda combinations they think of too!!

Aww who can ever get tired of your bow belts Jasmine? (:
ReplyDeleteWell, I am a huge fan of froyo, mainly because of the tangy taste. I love it with fresh fruits on top! But of course nothing beats real ice cream for those chocolate-based cravings. (;
I have total bike envy right now...
Your face when you tasted that drink is sooo funny! And I love striped top with the striped belt. So cute! And awesome that you didn't go into a store! Oh and did you see that UO $5 sale going on? I nearly died that I couldn't buy anything:-( But hopefully next time!
ReplyDeletemay be it's actually a love poison? ^^
ReplyDeletethe skirt perfectly match with your t-shirt, and u look cute, as always.
ah.. the flower really makes your bike pretty, good idea :)
You are too cute! And very inspiring, considering I have a skirt almost just like that one and now I see how well it works with stripes--thanks for the idea! And what is this Love Potion drink you're sipping on...you say it tastes like Cherry 7up? Hmmmm, I kinda like Cherry 7up, at least the Bonne Bell lipsmackers' Cherry 7up flavor. I'll keep my eyes peeled for it next time i'm at the store. I'm intrigued.
ReplyDeleteI will never get bored of your signature bow hairpins and belts :) In this look, the red bow hairpin really brings the outfit together :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for the wicker basket. Looks so adorable <3 Did you mention that you're going to paint the bike mint-green? I think it's going to look very cute and vintage-y :)

I just came across your blog and it's lovely! very cute outfit. im in love withh that spinning picture of the carousel, its so whimsical!
ReplyDeleteHaha I love picking up random drinks and trying them out. Too bad yours tasted so gross! That is so often the case with questionable beverages...
ReplyDeleteI dunno, I may have to disagree with you on the ice cream count. I used to be an avid ice cream fan, but I discovered froyo with cookie dough chunks as topping, and... I'm in love. I can't get enough. It's refreshing and cakey all at once! :D
And finally, I love how the stripes in your tee and in your belt combine to make stripey awesomeness. Love this whole look.
