back to school

back to school

back to school by style-scum featuring white cotton tops

This one is a back to school look that features a grungy mix-match sort of style that I'm really fond of at the moment. Subtly mixing patterns is always fun! Hopefully I'll get a picture of my actual back to school outfit tomorrow morning before I leave.

Nostalgia?

Untitled #8

Untitled #8 by style-scum featuring a flower crown headband

Today's post features a set I just posted over on Polyvore! This one is an outfit (plus some filler!) that I put together that I think embodies this, like, 70s or 80s nostalgia from an adolescent perspective that grew up in the 90s. It's a bit of a hard feeling to really describe, but I think what I just said is about as close as we're gonna get. 

I really like the look of having something monochromatic with little pops of color here and there, so this is like that gone wild. I also really love the look of varsity jackets, they make me think of 90s teen movies which is why I threw it in there. I also really like platform sneakers and I've always wanted a pair, so they ended up in there simply because I like them. Also, the bracelet reminds me of one my friend had strung together for me when the two of us were having an "art day" a few months ago. I brought over a jar full of beads, some paint & brushes, an instant camera and some other supplies in a bag, and she decided she wanted to make me a bracelet and necklace set out of the beads. It was probably the cutest thing anyone has ever done for me, but I digress. The bracelet reminded me of that, which brought out nostalgic and sort of bohemian vibes for me so that's how that ended up in there.
