In elementary school I went through a pirate phase sparked by the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. I wore a bandanna every day and had these cargo shorts with a breeches feel to them.

I was originally attracted to this jumpsuit for it’s neutral color and comfortable, knit material. (You guys know I can’t turn down a good jumpsuit) But the more I wear it the more I like the open back. It’s an interesting detail to an otherwise basic garment.

Armed and Dangerous

May 26, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

As a woman in the city I get asked a lot what I do to be safe. I have a black belt in Shaolin Kempo so on a logistical level I can absolutely protect myself. But what I find equally as effective is a sense of confidence. No one messes with a girl who knows…Read More
