Astronauts

My good friend Valerie took these photos of me in a stairwell at her school just a few days ago. 


 



Jacket: Goodwill
Back patch: cut from an old t-shirt
Top: American Apparel
Skirts: Urban Outfitters 
Shoes: Salvation Army
Pins: Garage sale / Etsy
Necklace: So Good Jewelry in SoHo
Lipstick: Sephora Brown Illusion

I've been so into that skirt combo for the fall, I'm upset that it will be too cold to wear it soon. The first skirt is a short black high waisted tulip skirt that I bought from Urban Outfitters years ago, and I put a long sheer skirt, also from Urban Outfitters over it. I actually ended up getting both skirts on sale, now that I think about it! I think that in total, the whole skirt combo cost me $30. Awesome!

I got that cameo pin from a rummage sale about a year ago. The other pin I bought from Etsy, and actually has this illustration by Kurt Vonnegut on it: 
Unfortunately, I bought this pin probably about a year or two ago, so I can't remember the name of the Etsy store from which I bought it for the life of me. 

The evil eye key necklace was purchased recently from a jewelry store in SoHo called So Good. It's a bit of an unusual store, visually speaking, at least. The floors are zebra print, and the hot pink walls are completely covered in jewelry. They have an enormous variety, and are very inexpensive. If want to go to Canal Street to find cheap jewelry, I'd recommend checking this place out instead. The prices are about the same as the street vendors, sometimes even less. I think I paid about $7 for this necklace. 

Anyway! I took these photos of Val right afterwards:
