Weekly Wears: Salty & Sweet

I posted a picture on IG the other day of this tank next to a very sweet handmade dress with the caption: "Salty & Sweet".  The more I was thinking of salty & sweet in terms of my wardrobe, the more I realized that I'm just a girl who likes to mix those things in general.  I love a sweet little frock, but I also flip over a tank like this.  I love sugary music (early Cardigans!), but I love a lot of bands with a rougher sound. People I'm drawn to are kind and thoughtful, but also have a funny/sarcastic side (I like to believe I'm this way as well).  Plus, fries dipped in vanilla ice cream, so basically salty & sweet is my very favorite combo.

Tank: Stay Home Club;  Jeans: JBrand;  Shoes: NastyGal;  Purse: vintage;  Glasses: c/o BonLook

Today I'm devoting a chunk of my time to planting all my little seeds out in my sunroom and then doing some swapping with a friend, so I can already tell it's going to be a good one!

  2. agreed! contradictions are the best because they compliment each other so well - you can't fully appreciate the salty without the sweet / the hot without the cold / the dark without the light. i love how you combine peices in your wardrobe with that in mind, it make for such a great look that you totally rock. i found your site through the weigand's "american blogger" trailer and am so glad to have a cool new blog to add to my reading list.
    p.s. i don't do "fast food" but a guilty pleasure of mine is a wendy's frosty with fries, yum!

  17. I have a similar thing with my wardrobe but between uber casual tomboy to super girly haha. There's not really an inbetween for me, but it's more of a work and weekend kind of dress sense.
