Hoød Rat

How do you like that grandma shirt? It is officially left button certified, denim, and pink. R-i-s-k-y. One day I'm going to be wearing this shirt again at a restaurant and run into some 73 year old lady with a same or similar blouse. Seems pretty possible, especially in the fashion-meca of Tucson, lolz. This is what happens when you are as obsessed with thrift shopping as much as I am. 

But in the bigger picture, I enjoyed this outfit because I felt like I was dressing down something very eccentric for my wardbrobe. Through basic staples (gray cardigan + denim vest + black pants + black converse) the shirt became neutralized, not exploding in your face when I walk by. Plus, I was able to wear this all day and night, a versatile look. Pretty logical thinking, eh? I guess I try.

Bon weekend!

Hey Wednesday

Happy February!!

Holy crap, it's February D:

Here's to my first Spring 2012 post on Jo du Jour! So I'm lacking in photos, updates, and all but I'm still swaggin' it with my clothing errday, errday! Lolllll

But in seriousness, life's good. Busy as normal, just with new things. Updates that might be important to note since last December are:

- Now a proud owner of a DSLR

- Finalizing my study abroad plans for the Fall (Going to São Paulo or Lisbon)

- Got a fashion show lined up in March

- Went to SF in January and fell in love

- Going to Berlin/ Uppsala/ Stockholm in March

Yay, plans. 

Now, as for my clothes, this look is all thrifted, very casual, and mega comfortable/ perfect for when it begins to get warmer. If all I'm wearing are these blue shorts come May then you know why. Plus, if I continue running a couple times a week my legs will get sexier :p

Happy web surfing, blog whores!

ALL BLACK

ALL BLACK! 

Some days I go with no black, other days, it's all black. Today was one of those days. I'm like a modern goth cowboy. Oh well, it's no problem! 

But the semester is now over. Fall 2011 was great, but academic wise, I was so sick of it. I'm ready to just get to sit in front of my t.v. for hours and play playstation and not have to go to some of my dumb redundant courses. I'm actually looking at my bed right now, and it's calling my name. 

Adios.

Tucson Street

One of my good friends just started a street style blog for Tucson! It's quite a hit so far, do not hesitate to follow:

One thing to point out about this outfit is NO BLACK. Actually, there really isn't any presence of dark or fall looking colors in this look. It's fun to play around with fall clothing that's not just your average leather jacket.

Post - No Shave

I had no clue what I was going to look like after my no shave phase. Beginning in October and only doing two or three minor trims I feel safe saying I participated in not only No Shave November, but October as well. Just was perfect timing, sí?

So what's next for me? A book about proper mustache maintenance. Any recommendations? Send them my way.
