Off-duty Cheerleader



 This is what I call my off-duty cheerleader look, mixed in with a healthy dose of zombie and attempted practicality...aka what I look like when I'm running two hours late for uni and have about negative three minutes to dress. So I did what I do everyday. I picked things off my floor and ran out of my house. I should take this moment to complain about the state of Sydney's public transportation. Hopefully with enough e-complaints, Cityrail will compensate me for the un-explained increase in ticket price by DOING SOMETHING. Although I guess I can't place the blame on the corporation for fellow commuters who repeatedly hack up phlegm, those who wear southern cross boardshorts and yell down phones saying "OH BUT SHE'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL", and fervently-in-love teenage couples copulating in abandoned carriages (I encountered all of the above on my way to and from university today).

I watched the movie Airplane! last night and it was one of the funniest movies I've ever had the pleasure of watching. I highly recommend it - although the humour is incredibly slap-stick and literal. The whole affair was ridiculous - my favourite kind of cinema. One of the best lines in the film:

Wow, Jess! Must have been quite a morning for you. And to think you were just about to start your day! It's one to tell your grand children: Beware of public transportation. LOL. Looking great, still :) Off-the-floor fashion never looked this well put together you know?

woman, if you still look like this by dressing off your floor then I'm sharing that space. Screw the cupboards I'm attacking under your bed!!
your titles kill me, I'm always worried about what I'm going to read next and this was too gold!
PS. I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!
I'm sure i first watched it at an age deemed far too inappropriate at the time...it only makes sense to me now....

Wow, for a "on-the-go" look, this is so chic! Adore the layering and the denim waistcoat is the cherry on top.

That sounds like a horrid way to start your day! Wouldn't want to see teenagers copulating in an empty compartment... that's nasty.
You managed to pull of such a nice look though. So jealous! Wish I could do that with -3 min to dress.

What a morning you had! o___o haha. crazy. Love the outfit though. The perfect balance of comfy, slightly rolled-out-of-bed-but-i-still-put-some-effort (haha...the hyphens..), and practicality to make one heck of an incredibly fantastic outfit! Love the look. ^___^

DollHouse said...

I went to Doll House to by a Sherri Hill dress 1403 for the best price quoted $450 for my daughter. I was told that Doll House has a registry and that I would be the only one wearing this style dress at my formal. When I arrived at my formal, there were two 2 other girls wearing exactly the same style dress and they also got it from dollhouse I can’t begin to tell you how angry and sick that made me feels. I will not be taking my daughter there for her year 12 formal
