Wait, can I be all three?

I am like the poster child for this blog this week.  I am a college student, so I like to get cool things for as cheap as possible, I am needy (in a very small small sense), and I have some vintage pieces that I can not wait to wear to a formal party this weekend. All three of these ideas are the basis to my blog and the platform to everything I am blogging about.

Me as a college student…

Here I am sitting in Spes, like I have been since Sunday in a 1994 authentic Limited Jeans sweatshirt, stolen from my 32 year old sister (sorry linds!). These next two weeks are jam packed with work, and I can think of nothing better to be dressed in the warm, cozy, old sweatshirts, leggings, and warm boots.

I feel like this is the ideal stressed college girl outfit. She wakes up ready to do her work, but doesn’t want to think much about her outfit. She wants comfort in these stressful times, not to add more stress thinking about putting together an awesome outfit. And why should you have to? Who are you going to see? I don’t think the Sartorialist is coming to Saint Mary’s anytime soon.

only pic I can show you so far... My 1994 Limited Sweatshirt, cool huh?

Me as needy…

Now, I know I am the farthest thing from really being in need; so saying that I am needy can seem really ignorant and insensitive. I realize that I have clothes to wear, food to eat, and a home to sleep in, however, I am pretty much out of money. From many this is a major issue, but for me I know that if / when the time comes, I have some one to go to for help. Something many many people these days do not have.

Because I do not have much money and because I left my ugly Christmas sweater at home, and because I haveeeeeeee to attend a Christmas party on Friday, I need to hit up the thrift store. Normally, I would try and find a funny Christmas shirt at Urban Outfitters because everyone wears an ugly Christmas sweater, but not this year. This year I am so close to broke that I can not afford a new shirt. So, I am off to the thrift store, in need of an ugly Christmas sweater.

But then I think? Is this right? I mean, someone might need that sweater for an actual Christmas sweater, and here I am a college student, not considered needy by any means buying it. Is that ok? Or is it again, ignorant and insensitive? I guess I just do not know.

Vintage buyer…

As you know, or hope you know cause you just love reading blog, I love the vintage stores in Wicker Park. Last year over winter break I got these amazing red candies’ booties. They had to be from the eighties but I am not positive their true era.

This week I also have a formal Christmas party that I haveeeeee to go to (like finals what?). To this Christmas party I will be wearing a beige dress purchased at generationbliss.com (check it out), and my awesome red candies. These candies will make the outfit they are so different from what anyone else has or will be wearing and that is because they are vintage. Here I am a needy, college student in vintage.

So, in conclusion…How could I ever explain my self as needy when I have vintage pieces along with everything else I have. Yea I’m out of money and can not get something I would prefer to have, but so what, shut up, atleast I have what I do.
