I woke up today sick of my hair so I went and got quite a bit of it chopped off. So, once again I resemble Justin Beiber in terms of hairstyle (hence the goofy get-up). This shirt has a twin in black that I wore on Katy's birthday. I know that with the hat on you can't actually see just how short my hair is, but I'm okay with that. Really if I wanted to look like Bieber I should've given some sort of super intense stare into the camera. This pose is a little bit too Backstreet Boys circa '97 (I'm the goofy one!).
Fun fact: the tiny splotch of green on my hat is Reptar.
Today's shirt is from Theadless.com (they've apparently had handy dandy html codes to aid me in blogging about their shirts all along. Also in theory my streetteam info is already attached to the link. They're so clever.). The reason for this shirt today (other than to continue my streak of wearing shirts that could also be cheap costumes) is that I'm having lunch with my good friend Kaylene. Why does this matter, you say? Who on God's balls is Kaylene? Well, Kaylene is awesome and she's going to med school to become a surgeon one day (Ohhhh). Also, Scrubs (which happens to be one of her favorite shows) featured this shirt as well as Turk the surgeon wore it in an ep.
Tonight is the night of the Sufjan Stevens concert that I'm going to with Janice and Hannah. Perhaps tomorrow or sometime soon I'll feature a cool shirt that I got from the show. I'm pretty excited about the concert. As far as I know he probably hasn't been on tour since around 2004 so I jumped at the chance to get tickets for this tour. I view it as sort of an indie kid pilgrimage. I'm not super into his new CD, but "Come On Feel The Illinoise" is one of my favorite albums of all time. It's very mellow music with lots of interesting arrangements.
P.S. threadless is doing a deal until November 1st that all of their scary tees are on sale for 10 bucks. They've got a decent amount of like zombie and monster shirts to check out if you are so inclined.
This is the closest thing I have to a tuxedo t-shirt. It's sort of got like a punk schoolboy thing going on with the funky tie and random pins (which say things like 2 cool 4 school and ACE). My most vivid memory of wearing it was at the barn party at Davis the year that we went as rockstars. Actually, that then makes sense in context because I went that year as Angus Young who pretty much always dresses like a punky British schoolboy.
In honor of Halloween coming up, I think I'll end up doing a string of posts about shirts that are either somewhat costume-y or have monsters on them.
Time to learn a new vocabulary word kids! This shirt is an example of a trompe l'oeil. It's kind of like a fancy french way of saying optical illusion but it's specifically one in which a two dimensional image is made to look realistic or three dimensional. Hence the screen printed image of sunglasses on my v-neck is meant to look like a real pair of sunglasses hanging there. Good times.
Anywho, this is a shirt from the Vans store that was on sale so I snagged it up while I was shopping for shoes. I'm wearing it today as sort of part of a costume because my friend Katy is having a favorite celebrity themed dress up birthday party (Happy Birthday Katy!). Feel free to guess who I might be dressed as. If I remember I'll post a picture tomorrow of the complete thing.
