Being an onion.

Went to wear the crop I bought while shopping yesterday with Sarah D today but failed as it was unreasonably cold. Damn you, Irish weather! Didn't you get the memo? It's sum-mer! But fret not, dear reader, the crop-top is still there, just under many, many layers. 

Began with the crop (with a fluorescent-green lace bra from UO underneath as there's a cut-out in back and I figure if the bra's gonna be showing you might as well make it a statement) and a skirt but soon the skirt became skinny jeans and I was adding a sweater and then a flannel shirt. As a result, the outfit's a little ramshackle but I was only lounging about the house today. Don't worry about my having the stomach out, either, I'm merely illustrating my onion-ness! I would never have my belly-button visible in public, (probably not even on the beach) the skirt I was originally wearing was high-waisted!

Plaid is my friend.

The nineties (except the really bad jeans) and grunge style are clearly (from the briefest of glances at this blog) huge influences for me. Joseph did an amazing job with plaid on plaid on the runways for S/S 2012 and made it look expensive and grown up. What began as a punk and Japanese influenced outfit, grew layers and became something closer to what Joseph was after. I quite like the result! Comfy as all heck, too!
