Making the best of T-shirt season!

Since I'm hopelessly devoted to all things grunge, I've been keeping an eye out for funky t-shirts and how they combine with grunge wear. Here are some things I've found and loved.

Harley shirts are always classically awesome. Actually I'm wearing one now! They're usually pretty interesting and have fun phrases on them. Mine says "forever wild"

The Talking Heads!

You can find a mock Guns N' Roses T-shirt at H&M for $17!

Jessica Stam has been my favorite model since I was 15 or so.  I love the way she wears things and I was so psyched to see her in Nirvana Tees and grungy clothes.

Like this MJ shirt which I actually have!

The motorcycle tank top is also awesome but here I love it with the super ripped up jeans.

Nirvana always had the best T-Shirts!

This T-Shirt from The Black Dahlia Murder is one of my favorites I've gotten lately. Decided to put some holes in it and make it look extra grungy.

This Led Zeppelin shirt is my boyfriend's but I love it a lot so I wear it all the time. 

My roommate gave me this T-shirt from his high school punk rock years which says "Strangers have the best candy" in drippy red blood letters.

My favorite things about T-shirts are the funky retro designs and awesome color schemes but I also love cool cuts into the fabric that make them look really badass.

My favorite is this one where you get to expose your cute/ modely shoulders if you have them...

This is something I'd love to attempt sometime soon!

As well as this! 

Can't wait for summer and the creation of new practical/ impractical things!

Some older photos of a few of my favorite things

These are some photos taken by my lovely friend Elizabeth Kreitschman for her portfolio.She was kind enough to take some more detailed photos of some of my clothes for me! I think she did an awesome job.

This is a close up of a brown suede jacket that was given to me by my mom. It was something she had for a long time and used to wear while motorcycling with my dad. 

In this photo, you can see my favorite 1950's-1960's style bathing suit with the awesome pattern on it, as well as a pair of 90's wooden platform shoes.  I got this bathing suit when I was about 15 and I loved it so much, I was inspired to expand my collection of clothing.

Love these photos! Thanks Liz. You can view her work at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ekreitschmann/

Some recent purchases!

So I went shopping yesterday with my mom, which is one of my favorite things to do when I go home. It seems to be the only thing that makes me forget my awful karma and crazy stressful life and really just lets me escape. It felt awesome, I got cool things, and some of my anxiety about life and the world faded away for a while. Thanks mom.

Here are some things I got:

oversized white knitted hat:$2

lion t-shirt:$1

studded leather cowboy boots:$6

mustard yellow spandex pants:$3

All of these things together make a really fun outfit that I'm psyched to wear to go somewhere silly!

Also,  I just wanted to post a photo of my beautiful sister, Jessie, who is moving to Minnesota tomorrow to be part of an Americorps program, helping kids learn how to camp and do fun, interesting things!

 I will miss her so much in these next ten months and I know she's going to be fabulous!

love you jessie!
