Under the Influence.



This is, apparently, my "police" outfit. It was not intentional. Now I don't know about you, but I have lived my whole life anchored in the belief that I am a total rebelz, fuck da police, Jess is a muthafuckin' bad ass etc. I am like Ryan from the OC, but with less body hair, more sass, and a less hot girlfriend. I am a societal outcast, garbage tossed aside by the government. I don't need you and your laws. I don't need anybody.

But APPARENTLY I AM WALKING AROUND THE DAMN PLACED DRESSED AS A COP. Now I'm forced to question my entire identity. Who am I? Am I a BAD ASS, or am I a cop. Or a "striper policewoman" as my friends enjoyed telling me. Also, I'm seeing a pattern in being called a stripper. Guys, I think I have found my true calling in life. I'm going to join the police force and subdue criminals by stripping. BUT SERIOUSLY, THESE PANTS. AMAZING. SO TIGHT IT HURTS BUT STILL SO COMFORTABLE. How is this even possible.


Awkward outfit photo taken by my friends making me feel silly and shit. I GET SO EMBARASSED WHEN I ASK PEOPLE OTHER THAN MY SISTERS TO TAKE OUTFIT PHOTOS OF ME. :-(


Blouse: Thrifted.
Disco Pants: American Apparel via eBay.
Drawstring bucket bag: Thrifted.
Combat boots that are too big for me (STORY OF MY LIFE. I ONLY EVER BUY SHOES THAT DON'T FIT ME. LEARN YOUR DAMN LESSON, IDIOT.): Thrifted.
Belt: Thrifted.
Blazer: Thrifted.



And I remember in the giveaway, a few of you wanted me to start posting outfits AND what I actually get up to in those outfits...let me know if you want this to keep happening. All photos taken by me:


HAR GAU: Very, very expensive but very, very crazy-delicious. It's ridiculous that one of my only WHITE FRIENDS had to correct ME, AN ASIAN, on how to spell "har gau"; Queen of the shopping trolley; Football throwing and bicep flexing, WORST BBQ MEAT IN THE WORLD: PORK BELLY; birdz.



P plate driver; karaoke enthusiasm; bottle balancing; angie; karaoke; filip, patrick, me; BBQ queen; karaoke.


P.S. GUYS I watched Inception yesterday...it was good but not HOLY SHIT MIND FUCKING good. Nevertheless, Christopher Nolan is a genius. And Marion Cotillard is one scary bitch but a fantastic actress, ugh I love her so much. And Joseph Gordon Levitt. This isn't stating anything new but HOLY SHIT IS THAT MAN HOT IN A SUIT.

(Best part was the photo of Tim)

I joke. And I completely agree w/ the not mindfuckingly good comment about Inception.. Argh, they always overrate movies T_T.

Becci said...

I am in love with that bag, I require one like it.

Also very jealous that you can wear those disco pants, you tiny thing.

This outfit post is awesome! I love it when people blog photos about their day/life etc. I'm just nosey haha.
Not mindfuckingly good? But ... it was definitely a mindfuck, right?! I feel like I'm alone in not grasping the plot properly. Like, okay, everyone loved it but WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED?!

p.s. congrats on finishing trials! Feels gooood, ya? Dreading the marks though :(

my mind was totally fucked after seeing inception, but in a good way. I just have to say this: it was one of the best movies everrr. and joseph has never looked so hot than in a suit and his hair like that. well, maybe in (500) days of summer. or maybe not. can't decide.

oh and p.s.
I absolutely loved this post :)

Rae said...

Vicki said...

my dear hope u dont mind me asking how did put together this wee photo collage in this post? did you do this in photoshop and upload it as one big image? im dying to try this but have no idea how!! lol xo

Camilla said...

I totally get you about feeling awkward about asking other people to take pictures. When i ask my friends, they start asking questions, like 'why do I need to include your shoes in the picture?' awwkwwaaarrdd.
and I'm sure the police would love to read this post.

shoppingaholic said...

i love your outfit... and i always buy shoes to big for me also haha

William said...

Wel if your planning on posting more photos of you hanging out in your outfits we're definitely going to need the ability to reply to other comments. Otherwise how are we going to argue about the relative attractiveness of your friends?

Ranter said...

You still owe me those donkeys and rainbows and kisses. Oh well.
JOSEPH GORDON LEVITT IS THE BABEST BABE IN THE WHOLE DAMN UNIVERSE.
especially in a suit. and suspenders(?).

PS: How incredibly skinny are you!?! Those disco pants are SO skintight but you don't seem to have a belly of any kind. Major jealousy right here.

Amie said...

if you were a boy you'd totes be a GQMF haha
and i really liked inception :D the no-gravity scenes were pretty spectacular, i reckon it's set a new standard for action movies! agree with you about JGL though, who new that kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun could be so babein'?

Kathyrine said...

Those pants are absolute love! :)
I wonder what some other bloggers do in their life; sometimes I wonder if they really wear the stuff that they post or they just change into something more comfortable, haha.

Eunice said...

you are rocking those pants girl!
and ditto to joseph gordon levitt in a suit ;P

The Little Dust Princess said...

YES Joseph Gordon Levitt was lookin gooooooooooooooooooooood.

Karissa said...

I have the exact same feelings about Inception. It was fucking genius. & yeah, I think you should start posting more pictures of your day, alongside your outfits of course. By the way, I love your pants.
