My Sin, My Soul

January 22, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Vladimir Nabokov’s masterpiece Lolita is a novel that moved me to my core. I am a lover of all books but this one has become an integral part of me. A lot of jokes are made at the expense of this masterwork because of it’s controversial content, but for me it’s Nabokov’s incredible use of language that strikes a cord. When a book means this much to me there’s only one thing to do: buy a t-shirt of it.

I paired it with leather leggings, a red blazer, and cheetah print flats to glam up the nerd factor.

    Love this look, especially the blazer. I have a Great Gatsby tee a friend got me as a gift, and I agree, those kinds of shirts become legitimate fashion pieces (and 100x less nerdy haha) when they’re styled correctly!
