FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS
February 10th, 2010 - 50 Comments »
I’ve had these J Brand doll bell bottoms for almost 2…3 years now? I got them on sale at Holt Renfrew when I was still going through one of my denim purchasing binges. Now that I’m living off almost nothing, I can’t believe I used to go to the mall almost every week and just buy bags of useless, disposable shit. And you know what? I really don’t miss it. It’s made me appreciate things that I took fore granted before like expensive dinners, pricey gym memberships and clubbing. Speaking of which, I never go out anymore! Maybe it’s the money, but I think it’s also because I got a leg up on most people by sneaking into clubs when I was 15–clubbing/binge drinking is old news to me. Yawwwwwwn.
The Olympics are so close it’s making me dizzy with excitement! The Olympic torch will be passing through my hood on Thursday around 4:43 so expect a twitter photo blitz full of all things Vancouver 2010. I am so proud to be Canadian right now. I don’t think there’s anywhere else in the world like Vancouver and finally everyone is going to see how amazingly beautiful and awesome we are.
Oh and I’m totally in love with my bell bottoms again. Going to wear them EVERYWHERE!

I have those exact jeans and just love the fit. I too had gotten them a while back and had stopped wearing them due to the “skinny jean” craze. Poor babies, they never did anything to me but make me look good. Will start to wear them more often
You look amazing as always, and love your inside/out tee idea

I loooove your blog and your outfits inspire me!!
I am from Norway but I have a sister in Vancouver, never met her though, only email and fb.
Gorgeous! Love the bracelet as well
Wow you rock those jeans. I love the tight look on top wide on the bottom
I am afraid to buy jeans so tight because I might put on a few pounds. Obviously not a problem for you 
Those jeans fit like a glove-gorgeous! And I love your snakey braid…so cool!
loooove your hairdo! so cool. I love braids.
Those are rad flare jeans, just the perfect cut! I can relate to what you say about appreciating things more when you’re not constantly shelling out the bucks mindlessly. I’d rather savor a jacket that I’ve really been wanting that might be pricey and wear it with everything than buy 15 different cheap shirts just for the sake of having something different to wear.
You look gorgeous! great pics
i love the beegees! anyways, your outfit is very cute. and i love what you did with your hair
im in love with your bell bottoms too!! they look so good on you!!! just hugging you in the right places!!!
and yes, the olympics!!!!
have a great time! 
Cute! and your hair looks divine!

wow, first time I’ve liked bell bottoms in a looong time. They look amazing on you!
THE HAIR! Awesome
You look soo tall and thin!
Haha if I wore bellbottoms I’d have to hem them at least 5 inches : 0
I loooove bell bottoms! Go Canada!

You have incredible style…
This hits home.. after recently getting OVER the corporate bore and making strdies toward personal goals, and moving permanently into the city, I remember the countless shopping spree’s and wreckless spending habits I had. Being style conoscious but not having the hefty salary you once had to support it causes us fashionista’s to pull from our artistic side and cherish it all. Good article!!!

The weather looks beautiful there! I know what you mean money has tied me down lately too! When you avoid purchasing new clothes you realizes how much fascinating things you have in your closet. For example, those adorable bell bottoms! They look so cute on you!
Love love love your bell bottoms
I am wearing mine again and my wide legs
only i’m layered up so much i’m unrecognisable haha

so effing jelly of those lady! I think the glamouri has the same pair, it’s such a perfect shape. I am, like you, on a real fucking budget, so no j brand for me. I gotta stalk f21, but these days skinnys still too damned in.
i freaking love this outfit – the tee/belt/bell bottom combo couldn’t any better. oh and the title – metaaaaaaaaalica baby! haha
i’ve always been on a budget and had to think about what i purchase before i purchase it, so i can totally relate to where you are coming from! at least it’s good sometimes – it forces you to look for only those things you know you will wear time and time again, and to look inside of your closet for hidden goodies, like your jeans!
BRING the bell bottoms back! Haha, brings me back so many good memories from middle school =D
cute pics, i love your hair!
i cant for the olympics either!!

this is so hippie-turned-rocker chic! haha! i love it!
and oh, i found these John Lennon-esque sunglasses and posted it on my Chictopia. They’re not the perfect round ones so I’m still contemplating if I want or need to get them. I got a fair share of comments to go buy them. would like you to check them out and share your thoughts too! and be honest, i won’t take it against you. haha.
here’s the link: http://www.chictopia.com/photo/show/220836-blue-vest-white-top
The sunnies are pretty cheap. It’s about $10 only.
I haven’t been into bell bottoms for a while, but you wear it sooo well. I just may be changing my mind

Nice to know I’m not the only one who is feeling broke, but I guess being poor is all a part of growing up and striking out on your own.
Also I see spring has arrived in time for the Winter Olympics. haha! What the hell were they thinking?

I am from Vancouver but live in LA and I’m so bummed I’m missing the Olympics! I had planned to go for years but it just didn’t work out. I’m soooo missing out!
PS, all I wear are J Brands. I have multiple pairs of skinnies, wide legs and love story bell bottoms. They somehow just make your legs look great no matter what!
