Navajo





I picked up this big fluffy pile of mohair goodness for $3 today. The colour is actually really insane but I had forgotten to wipe my mouth after eating pizza...leaving me no choice but to make like your typical teenage girl and desaturate the shit out of these photos. I always seem to fail to wipe my mouth after eating foods that leave obvious rings of gluttony around my mouth...coffee, chocolate, any type of Italian food. What is more dismal, is that I walk around the whole day with these stains on my face, and nobody tells me. It's like society is trying to sabotage any good chance I have of looking sane and clean for once in my life.



Heeeeeeeeeeeeh, ignore my facial expression up there. I think I'm the Queen of making awkward/inappropriate facial expressions/hand gestures.

Anyway, it's my favourite new ugly sweater/cardi, it's like an alpaca vomited and knitted a cardigan out of the vomit.





And as always, Frankie delivered, again. Their covers seem to get more and more unbearably beautiful every single month. Four/five years and counting of reading it obsessively, and I still can't get enough. I wish it wasn't bimonthly, I'm not the type to ration magazines out over weeks and weeks. I consume it all frantically like it's going to disappear the minute I lay my grubby little hands on it, leaving me Frankie-less for another two months.



And I've been waiting for these beauties to arrive in the mail for about two weeks now, so they should be presenting themselves on my doorstep any day now - floral D.M's (HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT, LIFE COMPLETE) and AA Disco pants (Guys, I'm wearing pants. This is the start of a whole new period in my life). See you later, calculators. x

That cardigan is actaully AMAZING. I have a huge cable knit cardigan I live in, that I bought for 50p.
And those DMs are divine. I'd really love a pair, but I think that they just wouldn't suit me at all. xx

i think they are the most amazing docs i have ever seen in my life... yep, right their in a 600 by 400pxl picture. haha.

hmmmm frankie. as always it came in the mail, but unlike 3 years ago i no longer enjoy reading them as much :S i can't tell whether it's me changing, it changing, or it staying the same... i mean, they have the same features! all the damn time. lol... (i do miss mia timpano though).

Hannah said...

Isn't Frankie just the best? Every time it comes out I have to get it that day. And I'll never throw any of them away!
It's really just a sign of awesomeness if you read it - I wish I could choose all my friends that way :P

lovely boots!
and i read magazines just like you, as soon as i get it i read it literally page by page and after it's lifespan of three hours or so, it just sits on the shelf until the next issue comes out :(

Chloe said...

ohmygosh! i love your sweater!

soph (owl vs. dove) said...

hahaha I like your description of the cardigan. Would love to see it in colour though! And I agree with you on Frankie. This months cover is so gorgeous. I went through the entire magazine the day I got it. I think I need to come up with a rationing system too...

Tiffany said...

I love the sweater! I see you've also purchased other clothing items at $10 and under! Where do you find such great deals at times like these? I would really like to know! Your style is so awesome!
