Friday Fashion: My Summer Fashion Wishlist

Summer Fashion Wishlist by jaythejedi

I have a long wishlist, but these are a few of the items that I wouldn't mind showing up in my closet.  I want a flower crown so badly!  It would be great to wear with a colorful lace dress.  I like them paired with bright flats in contrasting colors.  I like these flats because they're my favorite color and my current brightly colored flats are super close to dead (but I still wear them anyway).  I'm always a fan of cute floral printed blouses, and this is one of my favorites.  Foxes are one of my current obsessions and I don't have any fox stuff at all!  This ring would be a great to remedy this problem.  Hats have always been an obsession of mine and this hat would be perfect for exploring and going on adventures!  I also really want a satchel.  This one has lots of color and personality, and it's big enough to hold the essentials, including my wallet, book, and camera.  I love the bright summery colors on this striped top and I love horizontal stripes, well any stripes actually.  Horizontal, vertical, diagonal; I'm not picky.  And this skirt!  I would wear it with so many things!  It's twirly and asymmetrical and amazing and I adore it.

So if I had everything I wanted in my wardrobe, it would definitely contain all of these things, plus a lot more.

Fashion Friday: In My Perfect Wardrobe

I would love a purple studded "leather" jacket, and these boots (along with the ability to walk in them and not get them dirty, because white shoes are so hard to keep clean and pristine).  Lately I've been wearing more bright colors because it's Spring (and I went on a thrift store shopping spree yesterday at a thrift store that I'll share with you next week and thrifted some very cute springy clothing), but sometimes I'm just drawn to neutrals.  I really love neutrals that aren't so neutral, because of studs or sparkle or cute details.

Friday Fashion: Striped Jeans

Can we talk about jeans for a minute?  Of course we can, because this is my blog and I can talk about whatever I want.  And right now I want to talk about jeans.  I love jeans.  I especially love weird, crazy, zany, fun jeans.  I don't even own a pair of ordinary blue jeans.  I don't own a single pair of blue jeans, not even one.  I do own: a pair of black jeans with distressing and red sequins, a pair of army green jeans with lots of pockets, a pair of khaki jeans, a pair of pinkish-purple jeans, a pair of dark red jeans, and a pair of dark gray jeans with a bleaching pattern that's sort of like tie dye.  The point I'm trying to make here is that I am a big fan of jeans.  They are a serious wardrobe staple for me.  And I want more, specifically a pair of camo jeans and a pair of black and white striped jeans, like in this outfit.

Why black and white striped jeans are so cool:

1.  I would feel like a character out of a Tim Burton movie every time I wore them, and I love Tim Burton movies.

2.  They're surprisingly versatile.  I would be able to wear them with just about everything, including plain tops and printed tops.  This would allow me to do some fun pattern mixing including polka dots and stripes, floral and stripes, and subtle zebra print and stripes.

3. It's all the fun and excitement of a circus without scary murderous clowns.

4.  I could wear them under skirts and dresses like striped leggings.  This would be especially helpful next winter when it's cold again.  (It's sunny in Seattle right now and has been this week.  Look quick before it's rainy again.)

So basically black and white striped jeans need to find their way into my wardrobe posthaste.

Friday Fashion: Girly Punk Spring Style

Girly Punk Spring Style by jaythejedi featuring studded wedge sneakers

This is what I wish I was wearing today, but I don't own any of it, except the necklace obviously, since I made it and it's for sale in my shop.  It's actually my favorite necklace.  I really really love the shoes and the shirt and the bag.

But Spring is here and I have been wearing much more colorful clothing lately.  The sun is shining and I feel like I have a lot more energy.  Goodbye Seasonal Affective Disorder; Hello Spring!

Little Red Riding Hood

I've been watching Once Upon a Time and Grimm and I love them both. They inspired me to create some fairy tale-inspired looks.  I'm loving this lace skirt, but it costs more than I would pay.
