3rd Grade Jersey

This Jersey brings me back to 3rd grade {when I first got it}, playing soccer and thinkin I was somethin cool. For some reason, my memory of playing soccer is a lot different than my mom's. I thought I was really good, and I remember one time the ball went into a puddle and I was the only one man enough to go in and kick it out....Apparently this is about the only time I kicked the ball. Mom says I was scared of it, which makes sense why I would get it out of a puddle...because no one else would kick me instead of the ball.



{shirt: it was 3rd grade, I have no idea, pants: thrifted, shoes: Journey's, earrings: F21, necklace: gift}







You could probably find a really great jersey like this one in your thrift store's little boy section. My cousin always found way cute stuff there, and opened me up to the knowledge that I could shop anywhere in the thrift store, not just the women's section. 



I love this look. It mixes tomboy with girlie, with the sporty jersey, but the high-waisted pants that flatter my girlish figure. I have to say that this might be one of my favorite outfits I have put together. I think it epitomizes my style to a tee, just a little bit different, comfy, but girlie. 

That is what is so fun about this blog for me, it has helped me to break out of the box and get creative with fashion. Matt would say "thanks" to this blog for helping me dress like a girl. Apparently when we met, he wasn't impressed with my "snowboarder girl" wear. Probably didn't help that I dressed like all my guy boarder friends. It truly is amazing he found me attractive since I didn't really shower that much then because I figured "hey, I am just going to get sweaty tomorrow boarding again." And now you know my dirty secret. -ha, get it "dirty". Ahh, I kill myself!

  1. I find it completely unfair that you can wear a shit from 3rd grade!
