Apparently, everyone at the Puyallup Farmer's Market thought the same as well because I really can't remember the last time I got stared at so much... It was strange going back to Puyallup; that was the town my family used to live in so many years ago. We drove down the street we used to live on, past our very house, and continued on the path I took to school every day. The old school building was completely gone though and replaced with new unfamiliar structures. How unsettling to see the place of some formative years and dramatic events just wiped away! I had gone through a 6.8 earthquake in that structure, not to mention the usual dramas of junior high. In about another week we will go back to Puyallup again, this time for the fair, I trust that has not changed too much...
This is still probably my favorite jacket though I don't wear it nearly enough. The story on how I bought it is enough to make me smile.
Outfit 1 details: dress- Sample, shoes- Blowfish via Urban Outfitters, belt- secondhand, bag- Ruche
Outfit 2 details: jacket- vintage via Hell's Kitchen Flea Market, shoes- Urban Outfitters, skirt- Forever 21, tights- supermarket

I really like the way youused the green belt.
I love the first outfit!!
the dress seems like you look a little bit more sexy in it, maybe on the right side of your body, I can't see perfect on the photos but a good comb. of yours and I feel like you have loosen(?)weight comparing the time I've started to read your blog which is around the end of may 08.
LOVE the army jacket! and it is so cool that your dress is made out of sweatshirts. :)
I LOVE THAT DRESS. I need to go shopping in Japan!
I would be staring too but that's only because I find it really great and I think it looks stunning on you!
I love clothes that have certain memories 'sewn' into them.
ABout your comment: I fell in love with Daria when I saw her Prada movie. I still watch it every time I feel the need for some inspiration, it's beautiful!
Is this sample line the same one, you've mentioned before, with the dress made from old dress shirts. If it is, I seriously need to get my hands on their stuff. It's all so fantastic!
The dress is really interesting!
i really love the shape of that dress.
Have fun at the fair! I love the puallup fair! All the super yummy fried foods and the scones!! They have the best roller coaster there! Glad you are enjoying my home state, I love the outdoor photo's they make me homesick. Great coat!!
i also love your military jacket!
and i really like the shape of your dress
The dress is pretty! Maybe you got stared at so much because it's out of the ordinary for a region used to a uniform of polar fleece and Gore-Tex. (And hey, I'm speaking as someone from the Pacific Northwest!)
The dress is gorgeous, it has a very luxury vibe to it. I hate seeing old buildings full of memories making room for soulless modern structures. The old cinema in my home town, which had two tiny screens and was full of character has become a hotel recently :(
That first dress is truly gorgeous.
that cut on that dress is divine.
you pull things off so perfectly. seriously.
wow, that dress is a very cool shape. Looks wonderful on you.
RE: your Puyallup visit. I know just what you mean. My junior high was completely remodeled beyond recognition and my high school just "moved" locations and the old campus is becoming something else. odd. It messes with the mind a little but I suppose we just have to keep our memories and recognize things change.
This dress is a beauty! And now I see what you mean about us having similar bags - I was just about to compliment you on yours when I realized it looked kind of familiar, and remembered your comment:)))
My high school building is more than 150 years old and very hmmm dramatic - doesn't seem like it is going away, though:)
That sweatherdress is really pretty. I love it.
people say that Japan is the best place to shop...i love your adds from there :)
a kiss!!
That dress is a great shape, really suits you
I've lived in the same place my whole life, so I can't imagine how mind-blowing it would be to return to your old house and see everything so different.
both outfits are lovely. What a great collection of nice stories from Japan you have!
Lovely outfit as always, love the jacket and the belt works so well. The lighting looks so cosy, i want that kind of lighting it's gives everything a warm glow :)

change hasn't been a favorite topic with me lately. =/
such a lovely dress!
and i really like your US.Army jacket!
Fabulous dress.
that is my favourite jacket of yours too! when i first started reading your blog, i remembered you as the girl with that cool jacket haha.
I really love the idea of remixing clothing into completely different pieces and I think your dress is amazing. :D
I love the dress - the shape of it and the details at the bottom are fantastic!
i know what you mean about going back to your old home. me and my mum drove to see what the house i grew up in looked like now...it was so weird. i hated the fact people have changed things like, parts of the front garden or silly things like the hedge was different. you have these memories, and when you see its different, it just feels weird.
i am in love with the jacket, amazing. :)
Both are wonderful.
wow, now that is a great cut!
Sigh...I wish I could thrift a perfectly fitted Army jacket. You are too good.
That dress is really unique, I love it! I really like the army jacket as well.
I left you a comment on the Teen Vogue snapshot, hope you win!
I absolutely love that dress and the shape as well, very lovely
I have been reading your blog for a few months now, but I've only recently dug up enough courage to start commenting and create a blog of my own. You are an inspiration to me and I love seeing the way you piece together outfits to compliment your body. I am also a petite young girl and I often run into trouble when trying to dress my body, especially since I am 22 but look about 16. I love this dress and the way you carry yourself in it.
xo,
Lauren
p.s. here is the link to my new blog, if you ever have a chance to look it over I would love some tips on how to improve it. thanks!

The people ride in a hole in the ground
New York, NY- it's a hell of a town!

The cut of that dress is so sexy. I get pretty jealous of all your awesome clothes from Japan. I really want to visit there someday. Thanks for your comment!
P.S. That bag is so nice.
It's amazing how much a place could even change in a month! It is very unnerving... I feel like the world is moving too fast and I can't catch up!
The dress is crazy cool, just like JAPAN!
The shape and the cut are wonderful. I think what you did with the dress made it even better with that belt.
Like the jacket a lot too.
did u live in japan before? u seem to have so many stuff u bought from there!
and yumyum to the dress
Oh wow love the dress and the jacket looks wonderful :)
This is truly fabulous! I imagine you could style it in so many different ways. I'm sure it is one of those rare pieces that is both fabulous, fashionable and comfortable.
I love that first dress - it has a lovely shape to it.
Love Nasha's new tattoos too - she's a very trendy little labbit! :)
I've been thinking about the hair colour and identity thing and you're right part of it is because I choose it. But another part of it is that I associate being blonde with a time in my life that was really fun and carefree - there are good memories to go with being blonde. Maybe it also has to do with the fact that my hair lightens a bit in the sun - if I have highlights maybe I fool my subconscious into thinking I've been in the sun! ;)
LOVE that dress!! So artistic and feminine!
Your style is just so classy.
the army jacket is great to combine with lovely dresses!
The dress is a lovely cut, looks very comfortable too!
I love the dress, so cute and the hemline is great.
i love it all!!!!!
the first dress is timeless
I agree, the shape of the dress is both strange and beautiful!
I always start reminiscing when I'm back in the hometown. It's so strange to see all kinds of memories everywhere you go..
That dress is so beautifull!
oh I adore your dress. and no wonder they all stared at you when you wore it because you look so fantastic in it, dear!

love the jacket! always a pleasure to visit your blog
Unadulterated outfit awesomeness.
It's funny to see such familiar place names on your site. I haven't been to the Puyallup fair since I was a kid but given the stares I got in Walla Walla for wearing something besides jeans & tee, I imagine I might experience the same.
very cool dress indeed, it looks so versatile, too. the jacket is sweeet. idk, mostly anything that reads US army always catches my eye when i thrift :x
