Only after bragging about turning my tank top into a halter did I realize… that… it… still doesn’t fit. Curses! For now, let’s call it a ‘layering piece’:
Green shirt – Personal Identity, second-hand
Printed tank – St. John’s Bay? Second-hand, altered by me
Skirt – Mossimo (2007?) via Target. Formerly tan, dyed by me
Sandals – No name, second-hand
Belt – Cleverly crafted by ME ME ME from two second-hand belts. Thank you.
Purse – Forever 21
Head Scarf Dealybob – Claire’s (2007?)
Cuff – Ebay
If only I’d stood up straight. Now hundreds of fascinating strangers will say “Gee, I ALMOST subscribed to Jaunty Dame, but her bad posture is disgraceful.” They’ll say it aloud, even.
Sharp-eyed readers will recognize most of this outfit. This is because my entire wardrobe fits in two suitcases. I’m trying to create a fabulously mix-and-match wardrobe where everything can be worn multiple ways. If you know of any fun, semi-minimalist style bloggers, let me know!
I wear a narrow metal headband every day to keep my hair back. It’s practical, but the look feels too little girly and conservative on me. I thought a very wide headband might look more modern—
—and so it does! It’d look even better with yard-long dreadlocks and an aquiline nose, but I’ll make do.
Really cute outfit. I love the colors.

The headband looks great! I wear it sometimes, but in a different position, more like covering the hair form the front…..(also like them to be wide enough to almost hang in the back covering all the top of the head….(It’s difficult to explain this in english!!! lol!) something like that but not so wide -half wide in fact- http://chakrachack.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_53&products_id=3
This could be a good option too! http://autourdetoi.blogspot.com/2009/07/elisa-munoz.html
I’ve noticed you’ve changed your ear piercing jewellery… (you know….I love accessories! they say a lot too -besides clothes-) Looks great! wich material is it made of? wood? There are a lot of options for a helix piercing right?

Samantha – Thanks! I’ve been on a green/brown/blue kick… but I only own two green things, so it can’t last.
Patricia – Your description made perfect sense, but the links were a fun bonus. I really like that second option, I may have to try it.
About the earring— you’re VERY observant; I usually wear this:

but occasionally I switch to something more like this:

I think they’re both sterling silver. I really love both earrings; I’ve been tempted to buy replacements, just in case I lose mine. It’s easy to lose those small parts.
