"i am a princess. all girls are."

the above quote is from the movie 'a little princess', & it holds true to today`s theme. having gone through a million [five] copies of the book 'a little princess', there is no doubt in my mind that being a princess definitely is not in the way one is dressed, but in how one acts.
however, today was theme tuesday. so forget about 'acting' a princess...today was all about DRESSING like a princess. or how we`d suppose a princess would dress.

although today`s weather wasn`t the best [big fat snowflakes began to fall at the same time as it started to rain, it got really windy & grey & cold...it wasn`t a nice day at all!], the SOS girls decided to fight on & come to school in princess gear.

what DOES a princess wear, exactly?

pink, one would venture to guess.
a dress, of course. frilly & sweet.
bows? why not?
diamonds & jewelry, in heaping amounts.
a tiara or a crown, perhaps.
whatever the disney princesses are wearing, really. i mean, we all know that princesses must be wearing ball gowns & gloves, right?

WRONG.

as usual, going against the grain, i went for a look i like to call:
"JUNGLE PRINCESS". after all, who wants to be a plain ol` princess in pink ?
steph`s white 'shirt' is really a dress, but it was too damn cold to wear. i braved it just so i could look like a princess. :)

please excuse the randomly ugtastical faces.

at the boyfriend`s house, looking like a fish princess more than a jungle princess.

at school, during a random photoshoot. this angle makes me look like a balloon.

pose! with our jackets on :)

my bag...

my shoes :)

the randomly cool, extremely loud hairclip i had in my hair.
purple t-shirt: forever21, 7$
leopard print skirt, worn as dress: value village, 4$
black tights: shoppers drug mart [can`t remember which brand]
black leggings, worn over tights: h&m, 10$ [i think]
sea-shell & doodad hairclip: given by my sister
purple pointy-toe flats: walmart, 14$
gold, silver, bronze braid belt: philippines, a long time ago

& a series of princess faces...




on a whim later on, i decided to try pulling my skirt up & under & securing it, to make a bubble skirt. i didn`t wear it like this outside, but i thought it was pretty cool. unfortunately, wearing it high-waisted like that makes my 'rack' look like it could shelve spices. sigh. i used a pic that didn`t show off my girls as much, to minimize the 'phwoar' effect. however the pic is blurry...sorry about that.


so there you have it. theme tuesday.

for kicks, here`s a pic of my recent purchase from urban outfitters. this kind of ugly, gross-tastically awesome guy`s shirt.



black/white t-shirt: urban outfitters [guys` section], 3$ [SALE!]
white cardigan: h&m, 30$ [a few years ago]
blue jeans: bluenotes, 30$ [not sure]
