outfit deets: skirt - vintage // belt - vintage // tank - UO // bracelet - vintage
I have had a really bad streak of having my bikes stolen. Past year and a bit I haven't even bothered to get a new one - instead I just scoot around on my rollerblades. Lately I have strapped these bad boys on to deliver packages to the post office - a la Romana Flowers from Scott Pilgrim. Obviously I am not actually dressed like her, no cosplay happening here. I just felt a little inspiration coming from Ramona's direction. When I read the novels I always wondered how she managed to rollerblade in the snow - in the movie it showed she actually had the ability to turn the snow to slush. I wish I could do that, then I could rollerblade around in the snow!
I've always been a little bit of a "fruit booter". I played hockey from ages 6 through 18 but only played in the winter - so rollerblading was my summer alternative to skating. In high school I had friends who could do some crazy things on rollerblades, I've never been able to do anything more impressive than skate backwards but I can go pretty fast!
I picked the skirt out specifically to match my rollerblades and found out it's actually a pretty comfortable skirt to rollerblade in!
Have you guys seen Scott Pilgrim yet? Did you like it?
Have a happy Tuesday!

p.s. you totally have to listen to the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack. I have it on now. It kind of rocks.

Aw, this is such a funpost. I love your rollerblades. Sorry to hear about the bikes though.
ReplyDeleteYour skirt is really pretty!
Haha. When this picture came up in miniature on my queue to read I though "What the hell kind of shoes are those??" It definitely got me to read your post before a lot of others, and I love the skirt. Good for you for rollerblading. I ride my bike most places, and blades would be way easier to maneuver in a skirt.
ReplyDeleteCool outfit, haha I really like that you're wearing those rollerblades!=)

I wish I could rollerblade around without getting killed. I live out in the country so the cars would probably smoosh me. If I lived in town I totally would...

I love the skirt, roller blades scare me, I'm so clumsy.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! I love rollerblading but I'm always too scared to do it on the road. I saw Scott Pilgrim! It was very cute.
ReplyDeletegreat vintage skirt!!
ReplyDeleteGood choice to go with rollerblades after having your bike stolen. That way you can store your blades out of sight of thieves.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get your rollerblades?
