let’s stay inside

…and play dress up! today it is cold and rainy again and i just wasn’t in the mood to go outside. so, i put on extra makeup and did my best olivia newton-john impression. actually, that was not the intended outcome at all, but while my boyfriend was shooting these photos, he kept singing that song, “you’re the one that i want ooh ooh ooh honey…” so if i don’t look very tough, it’s because these were the shots we got in-between laughter. wow, i just took the glamour right outta that one, didn’t i?

anyway, i was just going for something that i wouldn’t normally wear, while still plucking all of the items right from my own closet. it’s not a complete 180 or anything, but my boyfriend brought up a good point: since i always dress really sweet and cute, then i will always look like a good girl trying to be bad when i change it up a bit. the only funny part about that is that i think i might surprise you if you were to know me in real life!

What are little boys made of?
What are little boys made of?
Frogs and snails
And puppy-dogs’ tails,
That’s what little boys are made of.

What are little girls made of?
What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice
And all that’s nice,
That’s what little girls are made of.

  1. You are so gosh darn cute. I'm interested to see what the jean on jean looks like in color though. I'm always paranoid about that!

  2. Erin, i have to admit this photo shoot of your is by far my favoritesst one i love it! you look extremely pretty and i love the all black and denim jacket, and i love the tub on a rainy day pictures!!!

  3. You look so tough (but still cute!) I was inspired by your necklace post to wear some of my own necklaces, but they are too much in a tangle to untangle right now!!

  4. I just bought TWO jean jackets yesterday at thrift stores. I needed 'em for sure. I think yours might be better than mine, though. Haha

  5. Oh I love this look. And I love the black and white photos. You don't see that too much with outfit posts and I think it works great for this! :D

  6. i love how these pictures are in black and white. i also love the lace top and the denim together. nothing better than chilling in the tub :)

  7. …the one I need, oh yes indeed… That made me laugh because when my brother and I were young, we used to pretend like we were Danny and Sandy, and I couldn't understand why mom wouldn't let me have a cigarette and a perm! Also, as always, I love your style!

  8. Love this look; I think especially the book. I definitely think on my blog (with style and otherwise) I come across as nicer than I am in real life…probably smoother too. But it's nice to dress sweet when you know you're not saccharine.

  9. love this! sometimes Id give anything to start all over and just adopt the wardrobe of a cute boy. In my dreams I dress like this

  10. I think you look very badass glamourous, even though you divulged you were laughing, haha.

    And I love your eyes! You are beautiful. :} And very cool jacket.

  11. you look great here!
    is that little poem thing from a children's book? i remember having one that explained how babies are made and they said something like that ;)

  12. I love your denim jacket, and I always get so envious when I see such gorgeous thrifted items like your lace top!

  13. You look great as a "bad girl", I love this! The lace top and the high-waisted jeans are amazing. Even the denim jacket looks great on you even though I usually dislike them!

  14. funny, the first thing I thought of when I looked at your pictures was "wow, this is the most bad-ass I've ever seen her look–like you could beat me up if you wanted to!" It was surprising because you do always dress really cute and girly sorta–so this was a refreshing change, and believe me…you DO look tough, and you could probably beat me up regardless!
