the fox and the fro

Remember I mentioned getting a wig?

A number of my alter-egos are pleased. I think I need a different name for this look. Zora, maybe. Kiana. Léonie.

I really like shirt dresses, particularly those in casual fabrics, those with pockets, and those with long sleeves (which I then always roll up). So easy to wear, with a call to the rumpled, generously pocketed and buttoned safari aesthetic. [Which we like.] They offer a nice opportunity to showcase a belt, too.

This would look more polished if it had been ironed but I also like it this way, casual and slouchy. I could stand to have a few more of these.

[The curl in the center of the forehead* is accidental.]

I begin to think these sunglasses were made for a fro, they are in such good proportion.

Here the tripod malfunctions mid-snap, and I make a face that I find entertaining. I need a better tripod.

Banana Republic denim shirt dress*, vintage suede belt, Ray-Ban aviators, Skagen watch, Calvin Klein Jeans pumps, Forever Young Foxxy wig, cleopatra collar (eBay).

*I am only tempted by Banana Republic when it is deeply discounted, as this was.

And now I give you one of the best bass lines of all time:

on the balcony

One of the first truly nice days this year. Finally inspired to wear something not entirely unworthy of documentation.

Banana Republic tank, American Apparel bandeau (ruched front has a lumpy effect I realize from the photo…making a mental note), Free People jeans (thrifted), Black Rivet leather jacket, Spektre sunglasses (remember these?). On the lips: Revlon Kissable Balmstain in Lovesick.

Are you loving these sunglasses as much as I am?

Scent of the day: Bulgari Black. So perfect with a leather jacket. Smells like leather and hot tar – great on anyone, as far as my nose is concerned, especially in the summer.

Hope it’s nice where you are.
