a truly gritty outfit

only i, ever obsessed with aesthetics, could go see "true grit", a bang-em-up shoot-em-up western, and come away with inspiration for an outfit. that's how lame and superficial i am. ah, well. good for the ol' blog, i reckon.

do you see that jacket/belt combo?? i'm partial to the drab color of the jacket paired with the warmer color of the leather belt.

ok, my turn:

jacket: another ugly college choir outfit.... it had a matching skirt but i lost it

belt: thrifted

t-shirt: target

skirt: my mother....?

beads: ??

boots: forever 21

you know what pairs great with a western-inspired outfit? rugged boots, of course!
