4/15 | Locked Out & Knocked Down


So the other day I took my friend bowling at a shady nearby bowling alley about 20 minutes from my house. It's not as sketchy on the inside as it is on the outside, don't worry. I actually really like how old and torn up it looks with the green and white stripes and the decaying letters.

My friend and I found out we're quite terrible at bowling. Actually, I'm pretty sure I knew I was terrible before I even walked in the door. He got a few spares though and a strike. I got...close to a spare a few times, haha.


(t-shirt forever 21, jeans forever 21, belt & ring forever 21, wedges seychelles

Originally I wanted to get some shots in the bowling alley with my sexy bowling shoes (I need to know who designed those beautiful shoes, haha) but there were too many people around and I would look beyond strange. I was already getting one too many gutter balls.


Oh, did I forget to mention I got locked out of my car? I accidentally closed my car door with my bag still inside. All I had was my camera so I snapped a shot of my bag, on my seat, with the keyring attached...mocking me. I had to work in an hour as well so I was being over dramatic and freaking out. My friend decided to take pictures of my misery since that was his way of helping out. Eventually I was able to use his phone to call up a friend who brought me my extra set of keys. I definitely owe her a dinner.

  1. Old and decaying stuff is so awesome, that's why I like, uh, yogurt so much. Yeah.

    Tehe, I love your shoes and how they match your belt. ;D YOU LOOK SO CA-YOOOOT (my attempt at spelling "cute" in a different way). Plus, your owl ring is totally adorable awwwww does he have a name?

  2. Those letters could look so good in a black/white/red tarantino-like pic! And the jeans simply look fantastic on you!!
    The inside of the car key moment happened to me too...
    Horrible feeling to be left out with no mobile...
    Looking goregous girl!

  7. Those shoes and that ring are great.

  8. Wow your outfit is so classic yet chic! The shoes and belt really spice up the outfit! Haha I totally suck at bowling too; I cheer every time the ball doesn't go down the gutter. Aww I know I would really freak out if I was locked out of my car. Or my house. I always have a terrible fear of leaving my house without my keys. One day it might actually happen.

  9. I love this look! It's so simple but the cognac belt and shoes set off the black and white in an offhand chic sort of way. Proof you can look cute while (sucking at) bowling.

  10. Hahaha, ow Jen, that's comic and I think it's perfectly normal getting locked out the car. Once I got locked out my house oO' and when I was a child I got locked inside my aunt's bathroom --this last episode is still my worst nightmare!

    You looks o pretty, I loved your belt :) and thisplace is gorgeous, I have to agree with Ali.

    xoxo, have a great week!

  31. They always say simplicity is key! And that less is more.

    Definitely the case with this outfit.

    I would be effing horrified and frustrated if I had gotten locked out of my car. That's never happened to me. With my luck, I'm surprised; I have, however, had my car batteries run out on me on account of me leaving my lights on (since it's safer when driving). I also have had the lock freeze shut and the car key fob malfunction so the car wouldn't open and the lock mechanisms wouldn't move. That was awful. In 28F weather? Ugh.

    I feel your pain.

    Love your outfit.

    Pretty brillz.
