Bear shirts are fun(ny)

I've been eyeing this pullover at ASOS ever since I got into my 'bears are cute' obsessions in the summertime, but could never rustle up the jimmies to pay full price fory what was essentially just a sweatshirt (ok, I know that was a malapropism but the phrase is so priceless I want every chance to use it). In January it went down 50% and I snagged the last extra large and tailored it down to fit better. Then it was so cold all winter that I was always wearing five layers, so I never got a photo. and here we are in May! still cold enough for sleeves and socks!

So there are a few reasons I was feeling a bit stroppy while taking these photos. First, the wind kept giving me alfalfa hair. Second, the wind blew the roof door shut and we got locked out up there for an hour. Third, the whole first batch of photos ended up out of focus so we had to do it all again. good thing we had that whooole extra hour with nothing to do...Fourth, it's still this cold in May (!) but at least I can wear the cutest sweatshirt I've ever owned- uninhibited, wild and free.

top: asos
skirt: vintage
socks: japan
shoes: vintage

  1. I'm with you...I am SO upset that it's still so chilly in mid-May. Are you serious, Mother Nature?! I also cannot stand wind. At all. It ruins EVERYTHING. lol. I love your skirt. It's odd because I can't ever find skirts that length, even though it seems like such a simple thing. They're always too short or maxi.

    Though, yikes, sounds like you had a bundle of trouble to get these photos to us (thank you though?!)

  10. i didnt even notice the "alfalfa hair" until you mentioned it, its funny what we notice in our own photos. IMO you look beautiful! Plus that sweatshirt is as funny as it should be, was is always 3/4 sleeves?

  11. Ah, it's so frustrating when things go wrong with outfit pictures. But you did end up with some really good ones! Hehe, I noticed the Alfalfa hair, but I thought it was cute.
    I love the bear sweater!

  12. You always have the best animal attire! I get tempted to buy the wrong size and them tailor it down like you did, but I am lazy.

  13. You are so freaking cute! And I am now convinced that bears are cute! (not that I didn't already know that....) Anyway, I just love this outfit :)
    Ok, so you're going to think I'm a freak but I read your comment over on Rachel's blog and you said you're in Utah?? Do you have family here? That's where I live! Crazy!

  15. Aw, that bear sweater is really great! Sorry you got stuck on the roof, though. That sounds like something that would happen to me.

  16. IT's a really cute sweatshirt, you tailored is impeccably. And I'd probably cry if I got stuck on the roof in the wind. Or just be really frustrated (I've looked myself out of my apartment with nothing but my dog for an hour before)

  22. This bear sweat shirt is definitely the best! It's such a fun color and adorable on you. That's great that you were able to alter the large to fit you. It's so cute!
