Remember Me?: Chambray, Johnny Cash, and Abandonment Issues

April 16, 2012

Remember me?  No?  Well, my name is Emily.  Nice to meet you (but not in the creepy way of 42 year old men in chat rooms).  Sometimes I write this blog, and sometimes I go to Africa and ditch this blog for months and months.  Now that I’ve returned (for now, anyway), I’ll try to actually post some outfits once in a while.  Failing that, I will post copious amount of travel photos that mean nothing to any of you.

Now, please excuse me while I abandon you again to eat brie, read Courtesy Laugh, and not cut my hair.

PS: I may have been gone for a while, but I still love chambray and Johnny Cash-esque semi-suits.

Remember Me?: wide-leg jeans (Old Navy, $15), chambray button-up (thrifted, $2), Armani blazer (vintage, thrifted, $3), bag (gift), belt (thrifted, $1), wedge booties (Old Navy, $12), glasses (random, $3), jewels (various, some from Africa).

New, hideous-but-I-love-them glasses.

New, hideous-but-I-love-them glasses. Also, I have a total can-opener tooth.

      Thanks, Terri. Glad to know they don’t bore the teeth off everyone. :)

      Well, I’m putting them in the mail right now! They’ll look so good with your short hair.

    I adore this semi-suit. It’s possibly that you’re ever cooler than Jonny Cash, but don’t tell Joaqin Phoenix I said that! I really like the glasses, too. Where did you get them?

    You read my blog with brie?! How fancy! I wrote it with jelly beans.

    Your glasses are NOT HIDEOUS, they fit you SO WELL. Also, your travel photos mean everything to me. That’s because I photoshop that nun taking a picture of herself into all of them.

      I do, indeed. And thank God (literally?) for that nun. She makes all travel photos 100 times better. Or at least three times (she’s big on the trinity).

    YAY, welcome back! So happy to see your pretty face again. And your pretty hair. It’s so long!!

    I love those glasses and your suit! You look great in widelegs. And I love chambray too, of course.

    You look awesome in those glasses! And in this post in general. I have missed your blog. And thanks for turning me on to Courtesy Laugh. Hilarious! She reminds me of me but cooler.
