HAUTE SHORTS
Ahh! My first blog entry EVER! This is so surreal! It was not too long ago that all ‘this’ was just a bunch of ideas and pictures haphazardly strung together in my head. You see, I made a promise to myself on NYE 2009 (yes I make cheeseball resolutions) to start pursuing my dreams and passions.
Like a lot of people in their 20’s, I had my first mini life crisis when I was sitting in my cube and realized that so many of the things I love: fashion, art, music and creating were missing from my 9-5 hum-drum corporate existence. It’s funny. No matter how far you stray from your passions, they will always find you. Always. So here I am pursuing my passions, my dreams—come join me for the ride!
Love these reworked Levis cut offs. They remind me of Julia Salinger a la Party of Five—does anyone else love that show?? Underneath I’m wearing one of my fave basics: Wilfred by Aritzia oversized tank that I literally wear under/over everything.
Never stop dream’n.
Wearing vintage mini moto leather jacket, Levis cut offs, Aritzia Wilfred Tank + Grandpa sweater

CONGRATS SISTER! I’LL BE WATCHING YOU! SO HAPPY YOU ARE DOING THIS. FASHION IS UR LIFE – I’VE SEEN YOUR OBSESSION IN PERSON AND IT IS TRUELY AN OBSESSION. CAN’T EXPRESS HOW SUPER PROUD YOUR SHORTER, LITTLE SISTER IS. BIG SMILES ALL AROUND.

Hi Carolyn!
Thanks for the feedback. Love the name of your blog–super cute! No, I have not. I am busy by nature, so juggling a 9-5 job and thehautepursuit is no problem. I think since I started the blog, it’s definitely created an outlet for all of my ideas and creative energy! Please stay tuned for new entries: I’m going to be posting some work I did with a local photographer in the studio VERY SOON! Shhhhhh…..

Hi Ifa,
Thank you for the kind comments! I love your current obsession: I have a pair and I have been wearing them everywhere–not bad for $40 dollars…

omg i read through every single one of your posts from the latest to this first post! just wanna say that your blog is amazing – and so are you! i haven’t been so inspired/courageous to dress the way i’ve always wanted to until i found your blog recently =)
just wanted to ask though (i’ve asked on twitter but you didn’t respond, so i’m asking again): you mentioned in one of your posts that you’re “flat-chested”. well, i’m flat-chested too and it’s really difficult for me to find bras that fit so i was wondering if having a small bust ever bothers you?
