I’ve renamed this blog post about 4 times, but I think I finally have a title that’s going to stick. Here I have two blogshoots, both using my new Givenchy lipsticks, although ones a pretty raspberry and the other is a light nude rose. Two completely different outfits, but both are representations of some new things in my life. I can’t wait until I get new clothes but for now, I have this to post!

It’s such a bright beautiful day outside! I’m so happy, things really have been looking up. I didn’t know it could be this good. But anyway, still haven’t been shopping as much, however I did order from The Kylie Shop and get a flame lighter, Kylie socks, two iPhone cases, and these awesome flame sweatpants. They’re size S but they’re really huge, and SO comfy! This photoshoot is called Girl On Fire.

Good morning world. How are you? I need to show you guys my shoots from The 1975 concert. What I wore to the concert, and how I wore the merch I got. I attended the show on April 30th, 2017 in Seattle at the WaMu Theater. One of my favorite traditions. I’ve begun to start experimenting more with my fashion, so I haven’t been shooting as much. But I wanted to show these! These shoots are called The 1975 and By Your Side!

“So I’ve got edges that scratch, and sometimes I don’t got a filter. But I’m so tired of eating all my misspoken words… I know my disposition gets confusing,” – Banks, Beggin For Thread
Banks is one of my current favorite artists. My favorite song by her is Trainwreck, but the song Beggin For Thread is so iconic! So I was listening to her Goddess album while I was trying to decide what to do next for a blog outfit. Finally I got the idea! Mostly I wanted to use the new goodies I got from Mirina Collections, but I also kind of wanted to stay casual. So I whipped up this look, denim on denim, kinda raw and if you notice the fact that all of it is ripped/distressed/cut then that’s a good observation. That’s why I used Beggin For Thread as a name. The lyric is “You got me beggin for thread to sew this hole that you ripped in my head,” and I don’t actually have any holes in my head that can be fixed with thread, but I thought it was interesting that I was listening to this as I was uploading this shoot to my laptop. My jeans are ripped, my jacket is distressed, and I chopped my tank top in half jaggedly like 4 years ago. And I added a blingy Mirina Collections necklace, and the look was complete!! I’m so happy with how it ended up. I took a bold statement blingy necklace, threw it on with some destroyed clothing and I felt so bomb. The look is bomb! Now finally I’m going to show it to y’all.

It’s a beautiful day outside. It really has been so beautiful lately in Seattle. That’s like…my favorite thing. I think spring is my favorite season. But anyway, y’all know that beautiful and genius artist Lights? I’ve been completely in love with her music since 2013 (I’ve liked it since 2010 but became in love with it in spring 2013, wow happy 4th year anniversary @ Lights) and she’s always been like…a voice and an inspiration for my life. The first CD I ever got from her was her Siberia Acoustic album, and it’s still in my top 5 favorite albums of all time. ANYWAY, she’s getting ready to release new music so the other day she said everything on her online store was 50% off! I immediately went to check out the site and see what was still available. I got a shirt and a cool jacket… I wanted to show you the shirt. This is different from all my 65+ merch shirts, it’s camouflage with an orange collar. And on the shirt says “Show me that your love will never change” I LOVE that lyric! Cactus in the Valley is one of my favorite songs by her. This shirt is beautiful, extremely comfy, and I want to show you my photoshoot for it!
So yes, it’s yet another graphic tee outfit. Oh well, don’t be mad about it. This one is extra fun! Continue reading to see more in depth.

Ariana Grande. March 23rd, 2017. KeyArena at Seattle Center. DANGEROUS WOMAN TOUR. One of the best ever experiences I’ve had in the concert world! Okay so I was SO pumped for this concert, just ask my dad or Ally. Like I’m always excited for concerts but I was seriously so pumped for this. It was AMAZING. I gotta blog all about it! So here’s the two photoshoots I came up with to display my souvenirs but I also have so much fun and footage!

Good afternoon all. How are you? I decided I want to talk about one of my favorite things in the world, concerts. It’s so crazy how in the winter time nobody tours but now that it’s spring there’s like at least one cool concert a week! Concerts have been my favorite thing ever since I was 8. I wanted to put a few different things in this post…Some random pics of the merch I got from the Bebe Rexha concert (March 14th, 2017 at The Crocodile in Seattle) plus a tentative list of concerts I’m wishing to go to, and also I wanted to do a little throwback on the kinds of things I have been wearing to all these!

Remember in Spring/Summer 2016 when Moschino released a collection that was super awesome? They always release awesome collections, but the significance of this one is, I got their “1st Story” sequin crop top recently and it’s like my new favorite thing ever. You know, it’s crazy, a year ago today if you would’ve told me that I was going to blog all the time and get some treasured designer items, I would’ve laughed then been sad, because I wouldn’t have believed it. Around this time last year I went a long time without blogging. I lacked inspiration and motivation, but now, everything is completely changing. I’m learning, I’m growing, I’m an adult now and I’m taking fashion more seriously, and it is…The best possible feeling in the world. To see my passion swirl around me in a beautiful hurricane of styling, blogging, shopping, etc is all I could ever want. This truly is such a passion.
Anyway so I’m dressed like a stop sign except of course it says SHOP not stop lol, and it’s sequin! Continue reading to see the look/this awesome shirt!

The craziest thing happened to me the other day. I was looking through all my concert merch, and yes I do have over 60+ concert/celebrity t-shirts, and it’s crazy because I totally just noticed that 3 of my favorites are all from rap concerts. It’s interesting because at the ScHoolboy Q concert they only had like one or two shirts and then CDs and that was it, at the Felly concert they had 3 shirts and that was it, and things were pretty scarce at the A$AP Rocky concert as well. So not as many options…However, these shirts are like so much cooler than some of the basic merch out there! Like do you know how boring it is to have 45 black shirts that are almost exactly the same, just with a different image on the front? It’s strange. So I was looking through all of those and yeah they’re pretty cool, but honestly, I love these two long sleeve rap shirts with this tie-dye A$AP shirt. They’re like my favorite pieces of merch. I posted about the Felly concert stuff but didn’t post about ScHoolboy or A$AP, but I’m about to reconcile with that right now.

Yay! Another day! I’m alive, I’m living, I’m learning, I’m loving, I’m listening. You know when I first started this blog it was mostly about shopping for fashion. Now it’s like…not only shopping for fashion, but taking things I already have and creating new outfits, fashion…It doesn’t have to be a bunch of new stuff I bought on a shopping spree. I have so many beautiful clothing items to work with! So, I asked Ally to give me a topic and from that I was going to build and interpret my own outfit. This is what she said:
“…Something cozy, but cute and unique. Something that would keep you comfortable and snugly, and yet if it could speak, it would scream.”
So this is what I came up with!! Tell me what you think, did I nail the idea or was I so far off? Also, if you ever want to give me an idea or topic or theme etc for me to make into an outfit, then PLEASE feel free to comment it or email me at abby@ishopfordays.com. I love doing this… It’s so fun! I call this photoshoot “Scamp” because I was watching an episode of Adventure Time called Scamps and it was really cute and I thought it was a cute random name.
