i get stuck on color combinations, as you can see from the similarities of this and my previous outfit post. denim and nude are usually ALWAYS colors that i wear daily. if you ever go shopping with me, i'll fight you for cream or taupe or nude colored anything because i have a weird obsessed with wearing things that look like my skin color, therefore making it hard to decipher whether or not i'm actually wearing clothes.

i've been purposefully leaving my blog posts very short and to the point lately because madeline and i both sort of reached an "i had it" point with both of our internet endeavors. we felt that no matter how much important dialogue we attempted to start, that it somehow just ended up biting us in the ass every single time. what made me want to give up was when a commenter related me wearing vintage/used leather to "digging a mcdonalds hamburger out of the trash and eating it". my only response to that: was that suppose to make me feel bad about myself? fail. google "freegan".
i could write an entire dissertation on why wearing vintage/used leather is something i am comfortable with (i actually have about 5 paragraphs saved in a draft), but i will refrain for now.
rambling aside, i would feel really uncomfortable if i talked about nothing other than shoes and clothes on here. that's not me. at all. i'm working on incorporating much more but just haven't quite figured out what direction i want to take, yet.
i received such an overwhelmingly positive response when i expressed interest in starting some type of blogger animal rights coalition, and i still have every intention of doing it. believe it or not, i have the world's guiltiest conscious and can't stand myself if i feel even slightly hypocritical (hence my switch to veganism). i plan on staying true to my words and doing something to make blogging seem less obsolete and useless.
word vomiting. i'm good at it.

I recently did a blog post on this called What's In a Blog where I talked about the differences in some of the content of blogs. On my blog, I keep it real. It isn't always nice. It isn't always fun and sparkly with fancy coffees. But it is me. And I just don't feel right writing like anyone but me.
Love your blog and Madeline's as well. I can't wait to see what you two come up with because I actually really enjoy READING your blogs. You are both talented writers. Whatever direction you go, I think you have a slew of loyal non-douchey followers that will stick with you.
In absolute love of the detailing on those shorts!

I think it's important to include meaningful content with your posts, I find it tiresome when bloggers only ever write about what they're wearing.
PS Those shorts are rather wonderful.

Ignore the stupid comments. You are amazing and anyone who says otherwise is ignorant and misinformed.
I've never seen denim shorts like those (granted they weren't originally denim shorts... but still!). They are so gorgeous.

Wow, all the pieces you're wearing are really cool. Especially those shorts. And I hope you enjoy veganism! I'm neither vegan nor vegetarian but yesterday I went grocery shopping and got some "chick'n" from Gardein. I've tried vegetarian chicken before but it's always tastes like mushy cardboard, and this one actually tasted really good. It's become sort of an incentive to eat healthy more often at the very least.

First, you're killing me with those amazing shorts and your obsession with nude anything.
Second, I think you're fucking amazing for sharing non outfit stuff on your blog. Keep at it and I'll keep reading as always. In a way, I want to do something else besides blog about what I wear. However, I too am at rut.

don't give up! you really are an inspiration.
best of luck to you both x
Some very intelligent human once noted, "opinions are like assholes, everyone has one." And this obviously rings true in every aspect. Blogging has gone from an online diary full of inspiration and interesting folks, to an open ring for cock fights. I understand we're all putting ourselves out there for criticism and whatnot, but damn, lurkers need to get off the computer, stop bitching at people they don't even care to know and get a life.
BTW, you are a sight for sore eyes if I ever saw one.
Wow what a horrible thing to say. It's really depressing how people act on the internet sometimes. Either way, although I don't do it very well I'm glad that there are blogs with more than just talking about clothes and stuff. Also your outfit is rather cool, love your shorts.
Cute shorts!

Whaaat!! some people just need to learn to keep their comments to themselves!
I love your blog and have been reading it for a couple of years now! Love your outfits they are totally rad and unique and make me feel like defining my style a little bit more instead of just wearing what the trends throw at me. This is your blog so ignore what people say about you!!
I came here to say those are really cool shorts also! xx danii

You are a beautiful soul. I look forward to reading anything and everything you have to say in the future... no matter which direction you go in.
You care for the earth and the animals on it and that is inspiring!!
Much Love

WTF THOSE SHORTS HOLY SHIT I MISS YOU COME HOME I HATE EVERYONE TOO IT'S OKAY
Noooooo! You and Madeline are the only blogs I feel are truly worth reading! And by "worth reading" I mean that you actually make me think about things and realize that the world is not full of superficial asswads. Because a post may be a little longer (post the five paragraphs!) does not make it word vomit... I would much rather read insightful words on actual issues (whether they relate to fashion or not) than simple product reviews and what someone wore to a festival!

Woah, I'm in love with your bag! Don't give up on your writing- you're so talented at it and I always look forward to reading your posts. It's just a shame that there are always a select few that have to spoil the blogosphere (as with most other things, for that matter) for everyone else xxx
Those shorts are amazing! They're so quirky! Gorgeous bag too, so much detail and colours xo

Seriously I don't get it. I really don't understand people's thought processes. Like what are they achieving by sending you rude comments? Are they really that insecure about themselves...
But I think what you're doing is awesome. Fashion can easily be extremely materialistic, but you give it substance.
Also I'm dying over those shorts. This whole outfit is perfection.
I love this outfit! Nude & denim really does look great together!
And wow, that is such a mean thing to comment about! Why do people even say such things?? Some people just don't have other better things to do, do they! Just ignore them! :(
I like how you and Madeline blog non-fashion stuff as well and have really interesting posts! I hope you two don't give up on blogging because I'm a really huuuge fan of your blogs!!!!
some people are just douches!!
p.s. the leopard print mules, awesome!

Gorgeous outfit, I adore those shorts! x
I am so in love with these shorts!
Some people. I think an animal rights blogger coalition is a fantastic idea. Good luck!
Also, your shorts are super cool.
Amazing shorts!!
