(Faux) Fashion Files

Let's start a new fun game.

We shall call it the (Faux) Fashion Files,

where I pretend I'm a fashion blogger . . . 

(stop laughing)

even though at best I'm a total wannabe.

I used to love reading fashion blogs . . .

 I actually still do but I also recognize I have absolutely no little self-control and sometimes it's best just not to tempt oneself.

Cute outfits . . . out of sight, out of mind.

It's easier to carry on in one's sweatpants and oversized hoodie if I don't know the options exist for looking something other than hobo-ish. 

But in all honesty,

I LOVE clothes and I love shopping.

I just get lazy the minute I get home from work.

I'm trying to work on that in 2015 . . .

but I have low expectations for myself.

I'm calling this (Faux) Fashion Files because I also don't have the budget the legit fashion bloggers do,

so  it's like knock-off fashion.

You won't be seeing any Louboutins around here.

Although I wish I did,

I don't have the innate ability to be cute or trendy or hip or any of that either.

BUT, 

I love Pinterest and am a master copycatter of others adorable ensembles.

The days I do throw together something marginally fashionable,

full disclosure be made it's because I stole the idea from Pinterest.

So let us begin.

I have been super obsessed with all things Navy lately.

And leopard.

I enjoy pairing leopard with everything truth be told, 

whether it's acceptable to do so or not.

Cardigan- Limited

Lace peek-a-boo tank- Limited

Maxi skirt- Limited

Shoes- Dr. Scholls viz DSW (hahah, sooooo not Louboutins)

If I continue this little post series,

you will quickly note a trend.

Almost everything I own is from the Limited. 

And most of it is vintage . . .

and by vintage I really just mean old.

But vintage sounds better.

Oh and to prove how fashionable I am?

That watch?

"Vintage" Target . . . it doesn't even show the right time,

but I can't figure out how to get the little do-dad on the side pulled out so I can wind it up and fix that.

It also gives me a horrible rash on my wrist but I still wear it.

Because I think it looks cute,

and the girls in the Pinterest pins I like always have chunky watches on.

Granted, theirs are Michael Kors or Burberry . . .

My watch was $10 and is likely made of lead and a blend of other cheap metals that will eat through your skin before turning what remains a lovely shade of green.

But again. It looks cute.
