this sunday, i participated in the native la flea market. i picked up this top and sweater while shopping with miss heather and as i was walking around the store realized they would be awesome together. i also found the bracelet i’m wearing and some neon green socks that didn’t make it into the outfit but are equally as awesome. i may pair them with the top and white shorts when it gets a little warmer. 

in other news, these photos inspired me to start working out because skinny amy is way hotter than not skinny amy. get ready ya’ll, this guy and i are on our way to being the hottest couple evar.

i’ve always been an instant gratification kind of girl. i never understood saving things for later. why not enjoy it now? so whenever i buy new things, i inevitably want to wear them immediately. luckily, all of the new things i bought this day happened to match. i win!

promptly after taking these photos, i declared that i wished i could be a nudist. it would be awesome. two reasons. one: i love being naked in the sunshine. there is nothing {much} better. two: i’m just so much more comfortable without clothes on. when you’re dressed, theres always elastic thats too tight, or a waistband digging in, or a scratchy fabric bugging you. in this outfit, i’m relatively comfortable, but i still find myself constantly tugging at parts of it. also, as much as i love fashion and care about how i look, i hate getting dressed. i always have. is that weird?

while this guy spent a good portion of the last day of 2011 cleaning out his closet and taking a buttload of clothes to goodwill, i reached into the depths of mine for some nye inspiration. i’ve only worn this dress once before because its pretty loud and really little. i tried my best to make it a little less scandalous and more age-appropriate but still dressy and fun for our evening of excitement. also, i flippin love these booties. i kind of wish i could wear them everyday.

sweater: hand me down (although i think still f21)

ps - last time i wore this dress, we were bowling: 

last night i went out with my mom, gramma and some more family to a little martini bar in town. unbeknownst to us, it was karaoke night. my mom’s hubby was in heaven, as he is a karaoke master. i was indifferent at first, but two extra-dirty martinis later i was singing a different tune. hall and oates, to be exact.

you know the awesome thing about the internet? you can post things like wish lists just because you’re looking for something to blog about, not expecting anything to come from it and then BOOM! people know what you want! which is how i ended up with this amazing coat as an early christmas present from a secret santa. i plan on wearing the shit out of this baby, so expect to see much of it in the near future.

in this outfit, a stranger asked me if i was a tv star. why yes, i am. you know the show, with that girl? totally me. it also got me an “oooh, look at you!” so all in all, i’d call it a winner.

not gonna lie, i totally copy-catted this outfit. i saw a pin on pinterest and immediately knew i could do the same thing. hooray inspiration! i don’t know if you can see it or not, but the tote says “i love sweets!! i am happy when i’m eating!” pretty much me in a nutshell.
