I don't wear halter tops

but can someone that does BUY THIS DRESS PLEASE?!

I just think it is so cute-- and so much potential. Please don't let it go to waaaste.

KIMCHI BLUE MARILYN DRESS

$39.99(was $58.00) at Urban outfitters

I do however-- do plenty of headwear. I'm diggin this interesting wrap-- gonna start workin' it after I get mine and learn how to get it the heck like this...

I swear there was something else I was inspired to enact but I can't remember. Will remember soon.

I realize that on the header info thing I have atop the most recent posts, I have a "what I'm listening to" mention.

I realize this is highly irrelevant because I'm not that much of a music enthusiast. I'm rarely listening to music and if I am, it's one song that I'll repeat for at least a week on end-- which I'll just list on the side panel under current fixes.

What WOULD probably be more relevant for me to update on the "what" is "what nail color I'm sporting"-- because that changes much much more often than the songs I listen to hahah. You all know this.

Anyway. I can't remember the name of what I'm wearing but it's by Milani (I'll figure it out soon)-- layered over a basic white and it looks like this (but cooler):

(that's rumi from fashiontoast btw). What she's putting on is "jizz" (wonderful) by bleachblack. that costs 12 something at needsupply.

Let me save you some money for lunch.

Just get some Revlon "White On White" (it's just white nailpolish no trippin) and then go over it with the Milani "Dreamy Cream" (I remembered) ...

It pretty much looks like that jizz genius stuff though after you've layered it

Yup and then wala you are dooone.

Next thing I would like to say.

"I transcend awkwardness"

hahaha that is not the actual next thing I would like to say. That is just what I happened to say to someone who I've been having random fbchat/text encounters with to ease his worries that we weren't at an "awkward" stage in our relationship. he liked it. i do too.

"whats it"

thats another thing i said that we both found amusing.

But what I really wanted to say-

Some recent style blogger mentioned something about what her closet essentials were. Black skinnies, white button-down, blah blah... (no offense but were black skinnies "essential" back when "flares" were "in"? A classic isn't a classic unless it's a classic. --You can quote me on that. But whatever. Essential nows I guess is what she meant.)

My closet essentials? Here's one.

A feather headdress.

The necessity became obvious to me after Rihanna's "Disturbia" video:

To me essentiality doesn't need to equate practicality. It's essential if it always magically makes you feel good. This does. And if you can work it anywhere. You can.

Get it??

I got really excited when they appeard in the element spring 2010 lookbook:

assuming that they would actually be available for sale... I was painfully disappointed.

Anyway. You should get one.

Things that came up today:

• This video still I made of Sutan from ANTM that I found while looking up these pictures on my hard drive. He's working this hat I've been searching for decades for. I need to meet a hatmaker. Any takers..?
• This awesome fiddler cap by Brixton that I cannot wait to get in the maiiiiiil
