for the love of t-shirts (and jeans)

I will not lie:  mostly I wear pants.  I love jeans, and I have extreme difficulty with skirts and dresses paired with tights having that awkward clingy riding-up issue (there has to be a solution!).  While I'm trying to find a healthy balance of both, if given the option of "comfort" or "style," honestly I'd choose the former.  On days where I just DGAF, hand me a comfy t-shirt, my favorite pair of jeans, and my seriously worn-in black Toms and I'm good.

When I heard Jimmy yell from the other room "KAYLA YOU'RE GONNA WANT TODAY'S T-SHIRT ON WOOT," I was intrigued, especially because I tend to lean more towards non-graphic tees, but will have the occasional one flutter about my closet.  Fact is, he was right, and the "buy" button was clicked immediately.

Y'all remember my Love Letter to Curiosity, yeah?  Well, with the profound effect that landing had on me, this "VISIT MARS, SATISFY YOUR CURIOSITY" shirt obviously had to live in my closet:


Awesome, right?  OH -- OH WHAT, where is this coming from? OH SNAP it looks like some sort of awkward outfit post? I don't -- can't fight it -- oh dear -- here we go --




(this is my badass face?  [clearly dgaf])

I'll tell ya, I probably should've trotted back up those stairs and grabbed my tripod, 'cause the surfaces I used were all kinds of not-level or not-clean.  C'est la vie!  We'll just say those awkward angles give the photos personality.  ;]

    1. Mars is super cute! I think if it giggled audibly it would sound like Elmo, but way less creepy. ;)

  2. Yayayayayaya! I'm so stoked on that t-shirt and these photos. You have model poses down, my gorgeous friend. My favourite photo is your DGAF face against the rusty corrugated metal. So bad ass. Let's do these outfit posts more often, shall we?!? :)

    I hope you are having a totally awesome day. I wish you were in Canada this weekend because Lisa from notladylike and I are going to a pumpkin patch and corn maze on Saturday. I feel your polaroid would get a ton of use in a settling like that!! xx

    1. Haha, thanks! I'll see what I can come up with in the way of outfit posts. ;) Problem is, my wardrobe doesn't stray a whole lot from the above -- as of yet, anyway! I'm actively working on that...

      I hope you're having a totally awesome day too, and I'm jealous of your pumpkin patch excursion with Lisa! I'm severely lacking in San Francisco/Bay Area Blogging Buddies (aka SFBABB, and I definitely just made that up but it sounds official so I'm keeping it). Someday we'll have an adventure of our own! In the meantime, you two lovely ladies have fun, and remember that whole "pictures or it didn't happen" thing. <3

    2. Like I planned a pumpkin patch excursion with another blogger for any other reason than to have my own personal photographer there!? Haha. Just kidding. I love Lisa. She's the best. But, she's also a photographer and she's also a part of What to Wear and the next prompt just happens to be What to Wear to a pumpkin patch. So, maybe I planned it just a little bit.

    3. Haha, of course, of course. It's almost blasphemous of me to think that you may not take photos... my apologies! ;) At any rate, still jealous and planning to live vicariously through your guys' posts. I'm sure it will be a blast!

    1. It's my favorite! Mars looks like it's being tickled... it constantly delights me. ;) However, any time I get one of those one-day-only shirts and someone asks where I got it, I always feel like a jerk saying "Oh, I got it online -- but it's not available anymore, sorry!" :x

  4. That shirt rocks and your outfit posts look way better than half of those online who truly do G(toomuchof)AF. Also your badass face is very intimidating :-)

  5. YEAH, I freaking love it!!!!!! I totally bought that AT-AT shirt from Qwertie that you showed me and it's become my new favorite tee. I cannot thank you enough for that. <3
