I'm with everyone and yet not

Tank: RW & Co
Cardigan: American Eagle
Pants: McQ
Flats: Taiwan

Omg I'm gonna brag here because I got these McQ (as in Alexander McQueen aka Fashion GENIUS) for $50 when they were originally $300+!! How did I get this amazing deal? Well wouldn't you like to know?! Just kidding, I snagged these babies on Outnet.com which is my morning fashion fix. They have the most amazing stylists at work there I swear, as they are always putting together sets that I would chop off a pinkie to own.

So this past weekend was my birthday and while perusing my song collection, I came across one of my favourite songs from the 90s: Bush X's Swallowed. I love the 90s. Today's music is such pure crap for most of the top 40 songs. The angst in 90s videos is so satisfying. Take a look at the Bush video below. Note all the angsty people and heavy eyeliner and lip liner? And what is up with that Asian girl who looks like she's tripping out on something? Glorious.



Piss on self-esteem indeed.

Great deal on the pants! Love that cardigan as well. I'm so bad at shopping on Outnet, because I always wait too long and then what I want is gone.

Oh, and I get what you mean about the music (I also adored Bush's Warm Machine back in the day). But then again, I feel really old when I complain about today's music ;-)

Ugh, the outnet is one of my favourite online destinations. More often that not, I'm too slow though...someone else has already snagged what I want!

Hilarious - just realized the first commenter said the same thing about waiting too long when shopping at the outnet!

Pants at that price were definitely a steal. An enviable one! Ooh.. flats from Taiwan. In the States, I have comparably small feet. In Taiwan, I have giant feet and the sales people always need to venture to the back of the store to scrounge up the biggest pair they have. =(

You look beautiful, by the way! Love your photos, every time!

Uhm okay. Sorry. Want to get me all those amazing finds too? I AM SO JEALOUS. They fit so well as well! DARNIT.

Angsty songs ftw. 90s child all the way... not that I can claim much, but still.

I love 90's music. I wish I was born 10 years earlier so I could have been old enough to go to the concerts on my own instead of being stuck with my elementary school/junior high curfew. However, the fashion at that time was as crappy as the music was good. You win some, you lose some, right?

Amazing find! I never find deals that good! I totally agree with the other commenters about always being too late for the Outnet deals. My size is always gone by the time I find something I want!
