Finger fiesta

Some (okay, most) days I get really lazy and don't wear any jewelry. And then there are the days where I just want to go full Johnny Depp circa Pirates with loads of rings.

I love the way a bunch of rings look, like a little party that you carry with you all day.

Some inspiration:

I love the leaf-looking one.

I <3 chevron rings.

I think I'll be looking for some bands to recreate Kristen Stewart's look.

And my own take:

rings, left to right: American Eagle, thrifted, made, made, thrifted

I'm trying to figure out how to take pictures of my hands that don't look completely awkward. So far I'm failing.

Things to remember:
mix metals - no need to match metals, it looks better if there are a few varieties in there
go vertical - think about putting rings up higher on your fingers to add some depth to the look
get comfy - make sure you can still use your hands, or else you'll be taking the rings of pretty quickly
enjoy! - self explanatory

Bisous mes amis!

Queen of hearts

My all-black outfit was not very exciting, as I realized I have a lot fewer black pieces of clothing than I originally thought. Oh well.

SWEATER h&m JEANS Kohls FLATS Gap
NECKLACE&EARRINGS Djibouti..?

I'm still trying to figure out how to pose for these without looking like a tool. And I can't wait for my camera to get here within the next week! Hopefully outfit quality will improve as the picture quality improves.

Ciao!

Blackout

Valentines Day is tomorrow. I've never felt particularly strong feelings for this holiday. If I happen to have a significant other when February 14 rolls around then we enjoy it. But with no one around to enjoy it, it's just another day for me. This year falls under the second category. So while I feel no bitterness towards it, I'm thinking an all-black outfit tomorrow will be appropriately tongue-in-cheek.
