Back in black

Today was..depressing. Watching 3 straight hours of The Tudors, nachos, snuggling with the kittens (oh Kumo isn't possessed..he's just Persian), and listening to complaint rock somehow only made me feel 1% better. Ugh.

So it's as good a time as any to post these trashy-in-black wasteland photos my boyfriend took earlier this week. The American Apparel lamé dress is everything I wanted it to be, I'm going to try it belted and it looks ferosh as a skirt too. Actually worn like that it looks just like that Topshop faux-leather flare skirt that was such a big fuss a few months ago. I'm too lazy to write the items directly on the photos, but most everything is vintage except the American Apparel dress and bodysuit. Well and Chloe shoes. And Forever 21 headband. K. Pizza box. Delirious.

yeah ur right black is back and u look really good in it but why those terrible red shoes.

chauss said...

why are you depressed? change your outlook and you will feel better in 15 seconds. promise.
go try one of my color exercises on my blog.
surround yourself with your favorite color, realy picture it all over you and around you. and then put some white light around your outline. try it, you might like it...:)
and if that doesnt work, go try and find a really old flick," the goodbye girl", written by neil simon i think. total mood elevator.

ivoreece said...

Anonymous said...

very cute. i do, however, i miss the way your style used to exude an air of bohemian hippie-ness.
bring back the flowyness and vividness. or, you know, don't. because you still dress amazingly. just different.

Robin said...

Black is always good and it's also always good on you

chlozzard said...

i love these photos :) also, no need to be depressed - you look great in the pictures! ;)
xx

Nicole Richie said...

Either your head is wayyy too big for you body or your body is wayyyy too small for your head. Either way...you're a lollipop head. Good going Nicole Richie!

Anonymous said...

You are the most beautiful girl in the world! Feel better love.

i think thats hauttte said...

some of these comments are weird..like the one from "nicole richie". lollipop head? haha thats odd.
anyways, i really love the black dress with the cutout shoulders! it stands out

Luxe. said...

I really like the mood of these pics, very dark and edgy!

Fashion Addict said...

I hope you feel better! We all feel depressed once in a while and I know you'll get out of it soon! Great dress too.

BTW, would you care to do a link exchange with me?

Tali said...

other bloggers are going to hate me for saying this..but like a couple weeks ago, my computer had a heart attack, and had to be sent in to the Mac geniuses to be checked out.

Well it was hell week, but also a blessing in disguise. It was kinda nice getting away from the comp, getting outside, laying in the grass, doing all that hippie ish.

Might work for ya. Oh yeah, also, I took to drinking 8 glasses of water a day as an "experiment". Who knew doctors knew what they were talking about!! It def gave me energy.

Farren said...

I love the AA dress too! I can see it looking amazing as a skirt. <3

I hope you start feeling better. =/ I can't see how cute kitties like those couldn't make you feel 100 percent better! I know mines always do. <3

Cheyenne said...

I like how your wearing your hair with your bangs back. I think i may have to get that AA dress

iracema said...

I am still waiting for a day where something looks bad on you - gorgeous as always - I love the lame dress

Fashion Tidbits said...

the pizza box is freakin' awesome :P

CoutureCarrie said...

I think that's pretty much everyone's Sunday routine! But I like Chauss' suggestion for beating the blues...

Now on to the fab fashion: love that strapless mini dress, darling! You look marvelous!

xoxox,

Lauren said...

Hey Rumi, maybe it's the materials, it also has something to do with the dress with cut-out shoulders, but you are looking gymnasium chic. the dresses remind me of figure skaters. it's a weird look to go for, but you do pull it off well!

Unwise Pedestrian said...

"Ferosh" - Love it. You look great! How comfy are those Chloe shoes? They look like they'd drag your feet down...

Rumi said...

Hi everyone :)

Chaussie how are you..I'm just feeling kind of out of it lately, I'll try your exercise tonight. I put an old movie favorite right now - Stealing Beauty..it's helping.

Anon haha they're very extreme I know, but I love them!

Carolina the cut is just perfect on this thing, I love how flared the skirt is. It's strange how similar it is in silhouette to the vintage one I wear here too. So Pose yes it's a good buy!

Fashionjunk aww yeah I found it in a drawer (you know, one of those drawers that accumulates the randomest junk imaginable) and decided I re-love it. I don't think I've worn it since December.

Little Miss Dress Up. SO CUTE. <3

Thanks Sarah, it seems I'm a little into it at the moment.

Anon 2:01 haha aww yeah I haven't worn one of my hippie dresses in a while..soon soon. I'm missing them too.

Fashaddict, sure thing.

Tali hmm yes that could be very freeing..I could have used a romp in the grass today. And I'm lucky that water's the only thing I really like to drink (well aside from alcohol)..I don't do soda. Thanks for your words.

Farren they're running all over the place right now causing mayhem! Actually I love it.

Fashiontidbits my bf found it and documented it immediately. Pretty sick for a pizza box I think.

Lauren lol yeah it does kind of have a figure skater vibe. I remember being simultaneously horrified and intrigued by their glittery ruffly costumes as a kid watching the Olympics. Maybe the silhouette stayed with me? Hopefully track pants aren't next though.

Unwise P, haha they're a little clonk-ish but are actually really comfortable. There's only slight dragging. But yes some.

Krystal said...

i love the Chloe's, although when I wear them, they change my stride, and scare short men.

this wheel's on fire said...

amazing as always! are you feeling any better? <3

Cass said...

you are just so innovative.
from the most edgy item of clothing, to the simpliest accessory.
you are a fashion icon to fashionistas worldwide. & you do it so fabulously.

ps:
i loove that jumper, and need to purchase it asap.

Sofie said...

Georgeous dresses! Loved the first one :-)

Lan said...

you are stunning!

Marina Hermanovna said...

you rock black like no other girl.

the mystery of the little black dress...
yet to be solved!

Ashleigh said...

is the AA dress the new Lame one? I was thinking of getting it..what sie did you buy? xs or small?

rainingpaperlilies said...

the shoulder cut-out dress = god. i want onee.

Misha said...

ouch. this is an overload of sexyness. you look so hot in these pictures. you wear black so well. you're beautiful rumi!

angeline said...

just out of curiosity, how tall are you?

stylemagnet said...

the cut-outs on the shoulder are to die for!

Rumi said...

Ooh Krystal I want to see you rock them!

Thiswheel, ehhhhh sorta. I'm probably just being annoying and need to snap out of it.

Cass mm yes it's a perfect little dress. I just got a leopard bandeau from Forever 21 that should go under it perfectly.

Marina :) - thanks again for the camera tips! I'm having a fetish black moment right now.

Ashleigh, yeah it's the new lame one, I'm pretty sure mine is an XS. How sad is it that I can't find it right now.

Rainingpaper, Misha, xoxo

Angeline, I'm 5'7".

Stylemagnet, ooh I know, this is one of my favorite vintage dresses ever.
