a plus side to getting in to work so early, though, is that i snag early control of the speakers and get to listen to what i want all day. lately that's been a lot of god help the girl, a belle and sebastian side project that i gave a brief listen to early last year before falling desperately in love with the album a couple of months ago. perhaps one of the catchiest, if not my favorite, songs is 'come monday night' - the girls in it have such fabulous voices, not to mention style to spare.
Come Monday Night from God Help The Girl on Vimeo.
the band name seemed particularly fitting to my desperate attempts at staying awake this afternoon, too. check them out at the link above - adorably twee, catchy stuff.
but on to today's post-work outfit! i couldn't believe this sweater when i stumbled upon it in a thrift store in december. the smiling sun. the llama. the cactus being rained on on the back. unfortunately it's a leeeetle too small for me, so i will probably end up selling it once i get my etsy page up and running.
skirt: forever 21
shirt: american apparel
sweater: thrifted
tights: mom's old ones
shoes: some sketchy place in union square
necklace: erica weiner
the necklace is hard to see, which is a pity, because it is an airplane with a bird chasing it and i thought it fit in nicely between the sun and clouds of the sweater. i never do detail shots but this sweater is too good to be tiny.
bipimbap was a smash success! it was so easy and so delicious, i'm definitely adding it to my regular dinner list.
all right, enough from me tonight. i'm off to search for a ripe avocado as my culinary cross cultural coup continues. alliteration. good night.

ReplyDeleteMy goodness. That sweater is perfect. Absolutely perfect. I need one just like it. I am friends with Ashlee, btw. I am also a PCV in Mongolia, so *hopefully* i will get to meet you if/when you come here....if not, i hope to meet you in new york? if you are still there and eat some of your baked deliciousness. I am constantly drooling over your food and clothes.....

if you are going to sell that sweater - please sell it to me :) my friend sent me this post b/c this sweater reminded her of me - I would adore it!
ReplyDelete1. everyone - so so many thanks. you guys make my day, every day.
ReplyDelete2. lindsay - meet me you will! i hope. i am jonesing for some ashlee, so you should definitely come with her to new york, for a visit at least. i'm gonna try my damndest to make it out there but a baker's salary is pretty damn pathetic, as it turns out.
3. elizabeth - i will! i'm going to list it on etsy but i'd be happy to put it on reserve for you. shoot me an email (audrey.dettmar@gmail.com) if you're serious.
again, thanks to everyone for all the love. xo audrey
