rings with wings and new beginnings

This is the last outfit I ever photographed at my old (and first ever) apartment, which, I have to admit, I was really happy to leave behind.

Something about this outfit makes me feel like a semiprecious stone. You know, like I'm simultaneously both Romeo and Juliet, checking myself out at a party. "She hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear..."

...Maybe it's because this dress makes me feel like A MILLION BUCKS, which is what you would need to get started on buying me every single piece of beautiful, flawless, stunning, &c. jewelry I want from The Three Graces, semiprecious stones or not. (I hope this doesn't look like a sponsored post, because it isn't. Although if you'd like to sponsor my happiness, please feel free to buy me any of these shiny things that make me weak in the knees.)

(Actually, I doubt that adds up to a million bucks, but my dress makes me feel like at least the summed value of the above linked items. Which is a large number. Especially considering the $13,750 earrings.)

 

MULTIPLES OF ME!

Look at me trying to be all twee and bloggery against the dirty wall of my poorly-lit apartment! Don't I look... semiprecious?

Eh? EH? The poor funnification of this post is brought to you by a Sam who has been reading Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby for class, and let me tell you, the deranged writing style rubs off very quickly.

(Funnification is not a word, Moony.)

Rings! With wings! And my face looking bizarrely tan and my hair in a swirling haze of flyaways!

Dress: Goodwill + hemmed. Thermal: some brand at Macy's. Tights: generic. Oxfords: Payless. Rings: Rapunzelsgold on etsy and Forever21.

Speaking of which, this reminds me of a song I listened to for several weeks (or months) straight in high school.

(Miles above and beyond "Hey Juliet", which was sooo 8th grade and which made a resurgence in my life right before college. Because I'm hella classy.)
