So yes I am wearing the same shirt as I did yesterday. Actually, I slept in it so have been wearing it for over 24 hours! Such is the appeal of the boyfriend shirt. Or pretend boyfriend shirt. I am thinking I should clarify in response to recent comments that this is not the "OOH look at my new ____ blog" or the avant garde reference guide (don't get me wrong I love those blogs too but that's just not who I am), but instead one where vintage is modernized, the same items are worn over and over again in different ways, and I pose at random in my backyard. And who knows, I might be saving up for the bag purchase of a lifetime. Ooh and Caldwell is coming to town on Friday! Like Santa! Which always means more exciting outfits, one of which will probably be one of the sweetest vintage cutout dresses ever. Think mock neck, full skirt, skintight bodice...mmmm...
AND auctions ending in hours! Click!
Furthermore, today I received the MOST INSANE EMAIL EVER, which if it's not a crazy joke, might be the coolest thing to ever happen to me. STOKED.
Shirt, Forever21. Lamé bra, American Apparel. Skirt, made by the darling Camille. Bag and sunglasses, vintage. Heels, Aldo.
Side note: nail polish ID to those who asked, it's OPI's Chihuahua Bites but I diluted it with some sheer pink stuff a little bit. I know, I'm such a mad scientist.

I mix nailpolishes, too. Like when black was all the rage, I thought it was a bit too harsh so I poured in some silver and made a wickedly cool gun metal color. Um, yeah.
I really like the shirt. It's a little weird to think that something so sheer is made for guys. Hm..
Ooh good idea with the gunmetal, totally trying that. My mom has silver nail polish lying around that is begging to be messed with.
And that's what I thought about the shirt too haha but then again I can totally picture a transparency-embracing hipster dude in it with like chest hair emerging. EWW. Why did I just say that.
Hey! I love your blog -- fantastic outfits! I just wanted to let you know that I recently started blogging and added you to my blogroll. I'm just starting out, but I'm hoping to make it really popular like yours!!!

what size is that shirt? is it small in guys?
Aww thanks Emily :)
Cat, it's actually a large, it was the smallest they had available but I love the slouch. Ooh and email me about that mask if you still have it!
omg.
confession. i have also worn shirts over 24 hours. but they were ugly tshirts not to ever be seen by anyone else. lol.
i want to say that i, too, was very inspired by your blog and tfs posts. i'd been meaning to start it for a long time and i started off just by posting on the waywt thread on tfs and then got super lazy and stopped posting altogether. meeh. unfortunately i discovered my love for fashion a little late so i didn't pursue a career in it...so this blog is my fashion paradise :) thanks for the awesome posts
<3
That bag=love.
Bag purchase of a lifetime? May I guess Hermes?
I WISH YOU WOULD TELL US WHAT THE EMAIL SAID! Im dying to know. But I suppose we will all find out later.
Love your outfit for today... one of my favorites. but all of your outfits are my favorite.
I love hopping around to different blogs and now yours is in the rotation as well. I started mine recently as well, a few months now, still trying to get a feel for the blogging thing, but it is inspiring to see how well some of you ladies are doing.
Now, more on that email lady, I want to know.
Updates!!!

i like that you have a personal style. you don't have to change a thing.
i was wondering where you got your necklace? it's very sweet.

I like it. as usual. i love the colors you used ! and these heels are gorgeous.
ohohoh, btw. i have the same sunglasses! haha :-)
that shirt is great and that bag, and i have to be honest, i too wear sometimes shirts 24 hour. rarely though and with some reason :D but you are looking fab!
Hi Rumi! I hail from a sunny island called Singapore. I am so in love with your style, you're 500 sorts of amazing and you're really gorgeous (I'm sure you've heard it all before!!). Besides being totally in love with your style, I have a favour to ask of you (: I'm an aspiring journalist/editor and I'm writing a features article on indie fashion trends. I would be really honoured to hear your perspective on indie fashion trends and I will be extremely grateful if you could come up with a post that's all about indie fashion. Favourite indie designers? If any and perhaps an outfit of yours that screams INDIE! (: THANKS IN ADVANCE! Love, Jamie
oooh come onnnnn!!!! you can't write something like "i got an email about the coolest thing thats ever happened to me" and then not tell us what!!1 thats like when you say to someone ive got a secret i can't tell you when you're 12!! if you're not going to mention, then don't mention.
as per usual love the outfit the shirt is very cool and looks so comfy.
also cool idea with the nailpolish mixing am going to have to try that. just got the new chanel navy nailpolish - very cool.
xo
the skirt looks comfy. but do you have problems with it riding up or suddenly falling down? i would be worried about that
what said the email? you have to tell us! :D
Love this outfit!
I love your outfit!
The shirt looks really comfy :)
this shirt looks great on you!
and you're so brownn. jealous!
LOL @ you diluting your nailpolish.
criticism means you've made it
"I love that reaction of love or hate, it's indifference that bores me to death." marc jacobs
keep rewearing your stuff who cares about haters
Very cute look! Love your blog! Did you tuck the shirt under to hold in place?
yeah, tell us bout the email!
$350 for that 'rumi blazer'? that's crazy! You've got insane fans. but hey, if ya got the cash. Love it though.
^you have so many people that love you (and therefor love your store) that I don't really want to check out your store cause the price of the items usually end up really high damnit! ;p LOVE your 2 recent outfits!
Oops I totally did that thing that we all hate where a blogger obnoxiously hints at something vague for no reason. SORRY. BUT when this goes down you are all going to just go mad. Including me. Okay sorry, seriously. Though Bella, no magazine job offer haha.
Smartbykrae HAH even I'm not that crazy..perhaps something a little more low key.
Fashiontidbits, no riding or falling at all, the elastic is pretty snug..
Anon 7:38 ahhaha I'm random. Plus it was crazy bright, had to handle.
Mmm Karamooney nice MJ quote..he is the king after all.
Newlyinspired, indeed the shirt is tucked in, it's really long otherwise.
Aww Judy and anon :)
I really love that shirt that u are wearing. im going to have to check f21's website out. and u have some awesome stuff in your store!
you are such a tease! we better find out what this e-mail was all about soon! oh and you make the "i just rolled out of bed and am wearing my pj's" look mighty sexy. can't wait for a report on the docs!!!!
EMAIL! xp
Love that you can sleep in something and then wear it and look great!
skirt= love. if i was a skirt person i'd have to get one... and i'm still waiting for you to tell me about the silver stud bangle :/
LOVE*
love the outfit. so pretty. =)
Seriously cute buckle on that bag + I want that skirt now!
xx
I think that's what makes your blog so great and fun is your ability to just show YOU and your style. Love it!
p.s. I must say I'm quite jealous of your bfs regard for vintage.. where can I find a guy like that who is equally as cute? ;)
Great look as always, you are such great inspiration. Good luck with the "thing", excited to hear what it is!
I want to know too! :( haha.
You're such a amazing inspiration by the way. I visit your blog daily. :)
I am in love with your shoes! And your Isabel Marant look alike looks great as usual! How can you leave everyone hanging with the email? That's such a cliffhanger! It feels like the end of a tv show that you have to wait until next week to see! Share as soon as you can!
i just love this outfit. hope you're enjoying the week!
Love your outfit! I have that shirt also and I love those shoes you do well at ALDO :)

I would really enjoy reading that, so I hope that maybe in the near future...:-) anyhow, your doing af great/beautiful job with this blog, and you seem genuinely sweet and down to earth!
Love from Dit, Denmark.
