Unless I (and Wikipedia) am (are) quite mistaken, my school is credited with the invention of Green Beer Day in 1952. So this is my tribute to GBD 2012. Corset! Yeah. ;)
purple 3/4 sleeve top : Old Navy
black and brown foliage corset : eBay (it is VERY well made, and only cost me like $10)
taupe pants : hand-me-down from Ima
green 3/4 sleeve jacket : Targét
choker necklace with gear : handmade by yours truly!
silver clay compass necklace : gift from Ima
It's been a while, but in the grand scheme of things nobody will notice ;-)
Anyway, this ensemble is perfect for those 40, 50 degree weather days. Not quite ready to get rid of the coat, but warm enough to go out in a skirt.
green scoop neck hoodie : Goodwill
dolphin hippie dress : hand-me-down from Ima
denim booty shorts : hand-me-down from a friend
turquoise leopard tights : Targét
hot pink fishnet tights : Hot Topic
blue low-ankle girlfriend shoes : W*****t
I made sure to get a picture of the dolphin on the back of my dress :) And more braids! Actually my hair looks pretty awkward. It's probably the end of the day. I don't remember.
More lovely Goodwill purchases!! The green hoodie is uber warm, and super soft. It has an interesting scoop neck and the pouch/pocket reaches from seam to seam. It is a little difficult to tell, but the skirt is actually a nice mint green with white, turquoise, orange and green pinstripes. Oh, and it's actually a skort ;D
The other interesting piece in this outfit is the tights--check out that funky pattern! From a distance, they look like solid black tights, but up close they're covered in elegant-looking geometric shapes.
green hoodie / mint skort / black leather ankle boots : Goodwill
black patterned tights : .....
charcoal scarf : handmade by my friend
black v-neck tee : lost-and-found...haha
Meet Harriet Potter, and her friend Ronisha. 'Nuff said.
My little siblings and I are actually making videos involving Harriet--when we have made enough to establish the plot, I will post a link.

Fun story of the day:
So the first costume I see is some chick in an orange stripper fairy costume with super high heels and thigh high stockings. She's taken her wings off, and is practically running back to her dorm. I wonder why? Perhaps because her fairy costume has no sleeves, and it's under 50 degrees? Or because the only other person in a 500 foot radius who is wearing a costume as well looks like Harry Potter? And let's be honest--if you're going to be the only one wearing a costume, what would you rather look like? A skank fairy or a magical British boy?
