with honors

wearing Lorick dress, vintage belt, JC shoes, H&M socks, vintage bag, roommate's ring, random sunglasses

I finally got some sun on my cankles this weekend which gave me an opportunity to wear the Gilt Groupe Lorick dress out of the house for the first time. Short dress + clogs + socks = SO HOT RIGHT NOW. I am also unexpectedly finding that this vintage woven belt makes every outfit better. It's the ketchup of the clothing world.

Special thanks to Rachel from VisualBasic for featuring my likeness in her Blogger Sketch Sunday series! Rach is the real deal--a talented artist, creative thinker, and all around badass chick whose sketches constantly make me wish I had stuck with drawing. Not that I would have turned out half as good as she is, but y'know, I could at least be trying instead of sitting here watching Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch.

Here are Rachel's drawings and the original photos side by side for comparison! Clearly cartoon me is way hotter than real me.

    I know, these clothes just blew me away... Swedes have in my opinion always had a great taste, they don't look "Scandinavian", they do love clean lines and basic colors, but they always manage to surprise with new ideas and combinations. I'd like to know their secret!

    I'm so glad you liked the sketches. I usually email the bloggers I sketch but since you actually read my blog I thought it'd be more fun if you came across it yourself.

    You deserve all the wonderful things I said in my post about you. And the sketches are emphasized versions of you, so they are only hot if you are hot ;)
