Obsessions

Just before I go to bed. After having canceled my voice lessons due to a killer sore throat, I've decided to write down the fashiony-ish things I am obsessed with:

1. tokyo (I love the mixes of patterns and creativity that it seems most Americans are too afraid to let out)
2. Also very asian, Hello Kitty, and therefore, bows that stick out of your head. but i like when they're more on the messy side. i also LOVE cats. And I am DYING for a pair of those hello kitty doc martens.
3. the hard vs. soft. i recently bought an army jacket from free people and am DYING to wear it with a tulle skirt. since i didn't want to overdue it too much, today i wore it with a plain pink shirt and this sparkly, flowered necklace I bought at forever 21 that looks so much more expensive :p
5. I LOVE Katy Perry's outfits. Or, rather, her stylist. I don't care how much of a "mainstream, follower, zombie" I sound like. I love how she mixes cute with sexy but especially those plasticy, colorful necklaces she wears and colorful dresses. i guess her style is somewhat of an inspiration for the title of my blog. I have one of those colorful "california gurl" posters hanging in my dorm and I love it.
6. Tulle. I think it is so much fun and one day I want to find a funky, big tulle dress and just spin around in it all day like a ballerina.
7. I feel like, so far, I am a failure at thrifting. Usually the things I have bought I end up not liking and realizing I only bought it for the discount price. Which at that point means I might as well have bought something more expensive that I love. I tend to do that more lately - buy things that I know I love, even if they cost more (if I can afford to, of course).
-ACCESSORIES! Those that know me know I own dozens of necklaces and am obsessed with them. I truly believe that you can't overdue it with accessories sometimes. Layered necklaces, thousands of bracelets, earrings and necklaces, whatever. It can all work.
-I'm also OBSESSED with Tim Gunn and this season of Project Runway.

That is all.
