WARM WEATHER WISH LIST
Today it dawned on me that summer is right around the corner. No longer is it socially acceptable to wear my trusty black jumper coated in cat fur. It is, however, slightly more weather appropriate to wear my crocs. That's always a plus.
As well as realising that I share the same skin pigment as the piece of blank A4 paper sitting next to me, I realised I'm completely unprepared for the warmer weather. All I have in my wardrobe are yarns of wool, a pair of earmuffs, ski gear and my favourite nap-time blanket. Or, in other words, nothing obnoxious to wear to the beach. Basically I need new clothes.
Here's a collage I whipped up containing some of the things on my alliterative #WarmWeatherWishList.
1. Handsom 'Navy Short Sleeved Shirt' - $99
Oversized printed shirts are priceless in hot weather and this one is killer.
2. American Apparel 'Le New Big Tee' - $46
When your Bintang singlet is in the wash it's handy to have a white t-shirt to deflect the sun's evil rays.
3. American Apparel 'Long Sleeve Tennis Shirt' - $65
Because it reminds me of The Royal Tenenbaums and my failed tennis career. Sportswear swaggie.
4. Vanishing Elephant 'Powell Green Embo' shirt - $110
You can't really see it, but this shirt has little embroidered coloured flags sprayed across it. It represents my belief in cosmopolitanism. Deep.
5. American Apparel 'Printed Short Sleeve Tropical' - $80
I don't need to explain why everyone needs to have a hawaiian shirt in summer. I don't and I won't.
6. Liv Wealthy 'Star Tee' - $50
Even though black clothing pulls the sun towards my albino skin, I still live in Melbourne and by contract must wear black all year round. Plus this one kind of looks like Givenchy.
7. Vanishing Elephant 'Keegan' pants - $150
These pants feature some embroidery too, this time an intricate trail of roses. A good alternative to plain chinos!
8. New Balance '1300' - $230
Again I'm not athletic so I don't know why I want runners of all things, but I just do and I DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN MYSELF TO ANYONE. #sensitivetopic #nocameras #getyourcameraoutofmyfaceNOW!!!
MUSIC: PLAYLIST #5
I curated a new playlist perfect for a humpday kick. I hate people who say "humpday". I think everyone does. Gross. Anyway it has some new tracks on it including a remix of my favourite The xx song from Coexist, Fiction; one of my favourites from Willowbeats who I saw again last Saturday night; Le Youth with Cool, their incredible reinterpretation of Cassie; and a mashup of Kanye and Chromatics. Nice!
