IN MY COCOON
TGIF! I’m heading outta the city to Penticton tomorrow to enjoy some easy livin’. I’ve never been anywhere else in BC other than Vancouver and Whistler, so this should be pretty exciting! In addition to packing some outfits to *hopefully* photograph, I’m also taking my climbing gear (with aspirations of climbing in Skaha), a bunch of bathing suits and a smorgasbord of snacks and treats for the 3 hour ride up.
I really love this bustier. It is double sided around the areas that need a little extra coverage and is the perfect length to be worn on its own or under any of my larger-than-usual tanks. I was kinda on the fence for a while about it because things like this usually don’t fit (I have a super narrow torso), but it worked out fantastically–I recommend you get one too!
My sister who is much more conservative than me helped take these photos, but not without scolding me first. Tory: ’is that all you’re wearing??’. Me: ‘yeah, what’s wrong?’ Tory: ‘you’re wearing a see-through BRA!!!’ I’ve gotten a few comments through the blog asking me where I get the ‘courage’ to wear such unmentionables in public. To be perfectly honest, little to no thought is ever given to such practical matters. It’s less fun when you sensor the ideas in your head, no?
I love the cocoon-like shape of this jacket. It’s very similar to the terry-cloth ones that Wilfred also makes. Nothing like wrapping yourself up and walking into the unknown…..

Mmmh Actually your bustier sounds very “Alcôve aesthetics made to make blow a sulfurous wind on Reality”, so “day to day SM CHIC” . . . AND the way you combine it with such “BOMBnextDoor-esques” short denim shorts is truly “Vavavoooooooooomesque” !!!
ps: I really like the way it electrifyies your Stunning feline’s natural stylishness, in the exact opposite of any form of tackiness !!!

lookcloser,
Aww thanks! I think when I was younger I used to be a little more weary to dress the way I really wanted to, but I think that’s a great part of getting older: you realize shit like that doesn’t matter!!

I’ve been eyeing that bustier from a long time! It would look really nice with a low-arm tank, too. I’m so glad I found your blog! Represent us Canadians! I love how you wear stuff from Canadian brands (Aritzia). What part of Canada are you from?

Alyssa,
You should def get it. It fits really well, and looks great on! I’m from Vancouver, BC Canada. I’m proud to wear stuff from a brand that I have had ties to since I was 16. Go Canada!

I love your blog! I can see why some people would be shocked by your outfit, but you totally pull it off and it looks great. I think your belly button piercing looks really cute just peeking over the top of your high-waisted shorts. =)

Hannah!
Haha, yeah I got that piercing when I was 16 and have never really taken it out. I was thinking about changing it to a ring. Well, yes. The outfit is definitely hooker-esque, but I don’t mind that. Who doesn’t like a little skin in hot weather?
