9/8/14 Outfit of the Day: Do I Look Like a B*tch?


I find it really hard to look good in this heat. California is being swept away by a heat wave and as a sweater-weather fan, I barely have the clothes for it. Good thing I scored this department store Pulp Fiction shirt during my trip in the Philippines.



It was actually a men's shirt but I cut the sleeves off and voila! Instant muscle tee! I always find myself in the men's section wishing that the designs available to them can be found in the women's too but nope. But! If you don't mind grabbing a pair of scissors and customizing some shirts, there's a ton of really soft men's graphic tees at Target that only cost $12 or so that you can do fun things with.

I like crop tops too but I don't like them with low-waisted shorts. That's why I didn't really mess with the length of the shirt anymore. That way, I can tuck them in high-waisted shorts or leave them be when I'm wearing regular or low-waisted shorts.

The shirt-shorts combo is pretty desaturated so to liven it up a bit, I wore the Wet N' Wild Bordeaux Balm Stain again and partnered it with my red Keds Rookie Loop-de-Loop sneakers. I could have debuted my red Doc Martens with this outfit too but the heat was too intense. I don't think my feet would have appreciated getting shoved into some patent lamper leather in 100-degree heat.


And for more attitude, I wore my metal-accented cateye sunglasses. I was really hesitant to get cateye sunglasses since they tend to be round. (Tip: If you have a round face and you want to reduce the fullness, go for angular frames! The straightness of the shape should offset the curves.) But I gave no effs and went for it.


A friend told me that these sunnies have so much attitude that it makes me look cattish (Well, they are...CATeye sunnies.) than I already do and that I should wear it when I don't want people to approach me at all. But really though.


I hope not.
