i'm not okay
Send help! this pandemic has been taking thee biggest toll on my life, ya’ll. honestly, this was supposed to be my year (i know, we always say that, but i’m forreal). i was happy at work, i moved into my apartment, created an art/sewing studio (the broke lab, haha), saved a bunch of money, and i was going to finally get my passport. yup, this was going to be the year that i travel... like really travel, out of the country travel. i was beyond excited, but now all of those plans are halted.
so yes, i’m an emotional wreck! i thought this was going to be the year i finally used my money for shit other than clothes that i barely wear. instead, i’ve been buying home decor by the boatload (can’t complain tho) with a sprinkle of a shirt, pants, etc. here and there lol. that’s how this outfit came about: a little quarantine blues led me to the checkout page of zara, bloomingdale’s and a black-owned eyewear shop, iiirdeyeview (thanks zerina!)
outside opened up a bit back in august, so we decided to do something nice for my mama’s birthday. ya girl was nervous or whatever, but we have to make the best of the time that we have, right? i wanted to be super casual with a little edge, you know, since it’s been a while since i was able to go outside. i made my debut in this helmut lang tank with the detachable straps. i think the straps are soooo cute when they’re left to hang and gives such a laid-back vibe to the look. i felt sassy! lol. you can hear more about the details of this top here. i purchased it from bloomingdale’s because i got a better deal there than on the helmut lang site. you know, you have to alternate between the stores to find the best deals, lol. i paired the top with these jeans that i purchased on sale at zara. i was in desperate need of jeans since my quarantine fifteen, and i learned that i was cutting it close with these jeans, but they fit and that’s all that matters at this point. lol. i love the pleated detail and how the cuff looks when worn over heels. i accessorized with my telfar (of course!) and my creme + black sunnies from iiirdeyeview. you can check out all of their eyewear selections here.
