2008 vibes

...when there were chunky platforms and high pony tails and such.

I wanted to put together this lookbook in honor of Queen Bey infiltrating even more white spaces including the CMAs recently while being flanked by a few white women who most likely did not vote Trump (remember when Natalie Maines got her group exiled from the industry? ICONIC). 

I almost peed my pants when this gorgeous sweat suit appeared on Net-a-porter, I ordered immediately to hell with waiting for holiday sales. First of all, the color is everything--I've always thought navy blue was the sexier cousin of black and this rich denim wash (with a subtle denim feel by the way) is absolutely flawless. The jersey interior is soft enough to wear without any layers underneath for those quick runs to the froyo place and the giant hood is so incognito-chic--I'm obsessed.

I know Bey is fond of wearing fur, as I am and I'm wondering if she's going to bless us with a winterized athleisure line? A shearling track suit maybe? A fur lined sports bra? Sounds ridiculous, but I know I wouldn't hesitate to type in my card numbers.

 ...okay so I'm finally seeing the point of bag charms--maybe because the minimalist design of this bag is so compatible with them. I have to admit my bougie impulses drew me to this one, but after taking a peek at what the local Macy's had to offer, I decided this simple pale pink puff was the perfect summer touch. I feel like it makes me look even less homeless...or maybe my aesthetic is changing altogether?

Marc Jacobs recuit bauletto bag

Ivy Park appliquéd stretch-mesh hoodie

 ...okay I actually don't look like a homeless piece of shit here thanks to Beyoncé with a little help from Marc Jacobs--I'm legit obsessed with these pieces. The mesh on this hoodie feels so luxe, but it's lightweight enough for the hot temps and the understated design of this bauletto bag appeals to my minimalist aspirations...wearing them forever.

I was hoping for a more tepid summer given the cooler temps of spring that warranted my heavy Vetements sweater dress day after day, but now I'm just trying my best not to get bitten by mosquitoes or melt in the almost 90 degree weather. 

My Ivy Park onesie is like a Godsend (honestly she just never ceases to bless us now does she?) and I'm definitely looking to pick up several more pieces as soon as Net-a-porter gets their shit together and restocks my selections. Wearing this AA chiffon skirt makes me feel less like a homeless slob and more like......a lady? I don't even know, but the length and weight is perfect and as modest as my Mormon pinafore. 

...global warming is too real and I'm over it.
