how i blew my money$$

money to blow? not really. but i blew some anyway. (allison reference... check!)
so before i tackle analyzing social scenes & looking @ london fashion & culture through the lense of an adolescent american who likes clothes, i must do some listing. in keeping with my post-shopping tradition of showing with enthusiasm all of the day's purchases to my father (who is always BEYOND EXCITED!!!!!!! to see them),
here's what i bought:
> a tight white dress with gigantic black-trimmed sleeves, reminiscent of madonna circa 1985 or lady gaga circa any day. similar but different is this dress
> blue harem shorts ("hareem" in england) with double-breasted sailor buttons (below)
> tan strapless tulip dress with a bold aboriginal/native american-esque blue design down the middle (below). this bullet is a prime example of my inability to describe clothing. see *** below
> denim blue shorts with white polka-dots ruffled around the waist (below)
> blue tee, the back of which is made up of four vintage satin bows
> navy jumpsuit (FULL jumpsuit) with white drawstring waist, the sleeves of which make it strongly resemble a one-piece scrub for a hospital worker. for 15 pounds at bricklane i can roll the pants & cut the sleeves.
> flat-topped straw hat with black bow similar to this or this (below)
> tiny black hat.. it was on sale because it was broken, but i wanted it headband-less anyway!
> waist-length necklace with black bow bearing an image of the globe that elizabeth i holds in many portraits
> pinwheel shaped oragami-esque gold ring.. pointy & dangerous
> plexiglass earrings with blue string detailing
> vintage yellow & black striped pumps (h0lla @ me bumble beesz(below))

check it! green grass on tha ground!

things i wanted but didn't buy for whatever reason:
> lime green playsuit (my butt was too big, especially because playsuit doesn't mean shorts, it means inside there is a bikini attached inside to separate yah legs!) 
> tight floral dress (15 inches worth of metal clasps down the back to get this on... not worth it)
> a white statement blazer with a black african pattern (165 pounds = outta mah league)

***i probably should've prefaced this post by saying: i'm notoriously bad @ describing clothing.
