I've exposed your lies, baby...

currently listening to: Muse - Origin of Symmetry



SO.

Hands down, best act of the night last night (ha) on the VMA's was MUSE.

Therefore, they will be all I talk about.

Presenting...


I SPY: STYLISH ROCKSTARS OF THE WEEK - WEEK FIVE - MUSE


I don't know if these guys worked with a stylist, (probably did), but whoever chose these outfits gets a medal.


CHRIS (bass): I have to start off by mentioning the John Galliano tshirt. JOHN. GALLIANO.


sorry that this still sucks, but trust me, it's a rad shirt.

DOMINIC (drums): I couldn't get a good still of him to save my life but I have to mention the fact that I applaud his outfit the most. The thing about drummers is that they're always hidden behind the drumset... people can barely see them, so I feel like drummers in bands often get careless about their dress because, well, NO ONE CAN SEE THEM!!!!!!! But Dominic was wearing BRIGHT RED and I noticed him from a mile away. (Well, from when the camera was a mile away, haha). Like I said, sorry no picture - but I found some possibilities for anyone who wouldn't mind mimicking the look.

He was wearing a fitted, red plaid vest over a black tshirt. And, personally, I like fitted vests the best (hahaha!), but I couldn't find an interesting fitted one, so if you're pressed for time/lazy/cheap, you could always just get a plaid button down shirt (they're available everywhere these days), cut off the sleeves, and call it a day:


He was also wearing bright red skinny jeans. The kind that were readily available at HT last year, and are probably still available at some places. But if you think bright red is too loud, try a muted, dark red jean:



And finally:

MATT (vocals): He was wearing his signature look. Casual, cool, EFFORTLESS: A white tshirt with a skull graphic under a fitted black blazer.


Urban Outfitters has some nice men's blazers on their site, such as this one:

It's made of corduroy, and while $128 might seem pricey, you have to remember that a good blazer lasts you a looong time. And it really is so versatile that you can wear it with anything. And if you wanna make a girl like me drool, you'll wear a blazer more often!





WELL...

that was my two and a half cents. Now sit back and watch the video and tell me what you think of this week's stylish rockstars:

Dying just to Survive: It feels like the first time.

Currently listening to: Kill Hannah - Until There's Nothing Left of Us





SO.

Lately I've been seeing a lot of these kinds of dresses everywhere: they're part tank top (on top) and then have a simple little skirt in a contrasting fabric attached at the bottom.

from Wet Seal:




From Urban Outfitters:




I thought to myself, "hey, those look pretty comfy and breezy and cute. But they're kinda boring... and not to mention pricey. (That first one from Urban is $88!!). Wait a second... all it is is a tank top with a cotton skirt attached... I bet I can make one!"

And so I did.

(Actually, I made two).







Total price: $0. I just used stuff I already had :)


I'm proud of them. I'm thankful that I'm at least somewhat able to be thrifty and crafty when I can't have the real thing.

IN YOUR FACE, OVERPRICED OUTFITTERS.

Eighty eight dollars. Don't make me laugh.






Thoughts and Opinions please!!!! Do you like the ones I made? Are they cuter than the store ones?? Shall I embellish them further?? What do you think?!?!?
