Johnny Knight for The Qu

I am so excited for y’all to see this next shoot I did for The Qu.  Here’s a little teaser!

Kinzie Corridor Art Show - Collage and Comics

Last night was my first gallery art show (see my digital collage work here).  Of course it was a thrilling thing to have happen in general, but I wanted to share my outfit with you all.  I needed something simple that would go from art show to a birthday party later in the evening.  And also I had to run errands all day before the show - so I needed something I could move around in easily.

Black Wool Jacket - Thrifted, sz 16
Green/Black leopard Shirt - Forever 21, sz 2XL
Black Jeans - Target, sz 18
Green Suede Shoes - Faryl Robin, sz 11
Necklace - Forever 21

Last days of the summer witch

The last few days of summer mean there won’t be many more opportunities to wear such outfits.  Since tonight is one of the monthly queer dance parties in Chicago, I just knew I had to get down with some summer witch.  Though believe me, I have some great layered ideas for this outfit for the fall.

Next week, I’m going to highlight some great transitional summer-to-fall outfits.

Lace Tank - Forever 21+, 3x
Cut-off shorts - Forever 21+ jeans, 18
Bra - Freya via nordstrom
Shoes - Crown Vintage, 10
Bullet necklace - etsy
Crystal necklace - forever 21
Purse - forever 21
Bracelet - handmade (smokey quartz was a gift)

Shirt - Forever 21 Sz L (another one of those random straight-size pieces that fit me)
Skirt - Lane Bryant Sz 16
Necklace - Forever 21
Shoes - Jeffery Campbell (via UO 2 years ago)

This is all pieces you’ve seen before, but I was feeling pretty this morning and wanted to take some pics!
