a quick outfit post before i go to bed. it’s 5:55am and i’m wide awake. am i crazy?? i need to sleep! i have to get up and go to work by 11! ugh! but before my head hits my pillow and i knock out, i wanted to post this up before it becomes yesterday’s news. what am i talking about… this was an outfit from the 27th, so it’s already a day old! old = stale = no good. haha!
anyway. oops, i did it again. i went overboard with dressing myself in the morning. i think i have a defective gene in my system that screams at me whenever i look in my closet each morning after my shower. it says, “gilda!!! go on! do it! you know you want to! you know you want to overdress!”
dammit. but well, this is what i wore for the 2nd time i worked on the floor at pat field‘s. i’m not exactly sure how much i sold, because my name isn’t in the system (since i’m not technically an actual salesperson there). but i’m pretty sure i sold quite a bit and i was so happy. wheee!!
soft like silk tshirt by undercover
crazy denim skirt with tulle by apollo braun
glitter stockings by betsey johnson
chain necklace by mercibeaucoup;
cute flats by mercibeaucoup;
ugly hair by two months of no hair-cuts
aren’t they darling? i got them at century 21 (discount store yeah yeah yeah!) for like, 10 bucks. it’s a gorgeous turquoise colour and has these bright blue glittery lines running down the length of it. you probably don’t see that much of the turquoise color in the photos because it’s all stretched out by my fat legs hahahaha. but who cares i love ‘em! if it wasn’t disgusting to re-wear stockings, i’d wear them for the entire week, but alas, i have some sense of hygiene and have put it in my laundry basket with a sigh.
and yes yes you don’t have to tell me that my hair is disgustingly overgrown. i really hate it. it’s reddish-purple now with purple ends, but my roots are horrific and i obviously need a haircut. i’ve preached before about cutting one’s hair when it’s about time to get a haircut, but this is the first time i think i’ll admit that i have to eat my own words. my own post. literally. swallow it down.
the simple fact that i’m fucking broke overrides any other material or vain needs. i typically get a haircut every month because my hair strands are really thin (the only skinny thing about me and i hate it! HAHAHAHAAH!) and they are flatter than i ever want them to be, so i usually try to get a cut every month or at least 6 weeks, to bring some life to them. my hair does grow really fast, so not cutting it often means it gets really heavy and weighed down. it’s been more than 8 weeks since my last hair cut. oh my god i think i last cut my hair when school ended in mid may! that’s 10-11 weeks. it’s terrible and i hate that it looks so untidy! it’s a mess when i get up each morning and a pain to try and style.
i’ve been trying to keep it long and resisted cutting it for as long as i could. then just when i couldn’t take it any longer and badly wanted ayumi (my stylist) to work her magic on my hair, i went broke. then my cousin came to new york last week and going out to dinner everyday made me officially bankrupt.
did you hear me? i’m broke. broke broke broke!!! even my hello kitty piggy bank, i mean kitty bank, is shaking its head at me. it’s terrible. please send me a kfc coupon. or better yet, a peter luger‘s gift certificate. pfft just kidding.
i’m sorry if you’re vegetarian and i hope i don’t piss you off, but in all honesty, every time i go broke, the only thing on my mind is a nice juicy steak. i think it’s because i try to cut down on all indulgences, my mind goes a little crazy and i just want fatty meat.

I’m still up too. :] What’s up with that? I think I’m nocturnal.
Just wanna say, “You’re so cute!” You’re adorable.. Goodnight (morning?).
はろーＧＩＬＤＡ。
thank u for ur comment.
ＧＩＬＤＡのこの格好、スーパーキュート！
mercibeaucoupがこんなに似合う人みたの、久しぶり。
フラットシューズすごい似合ってる！
このブランド、外国のモデルの女の子たちにも人気あった。僕のブログにある,
一番最初の記事に載せたウクライナ人モデルの女の子もmercibeaucoupの不思議なかわいさに惹かれたって♪
apollo braunって独特で面白いんだね！素敵。
それで、うん、アギネスは個性的な雰囲気とファッションセンスでアイコンガールって感じだよね。
4月に日本に来て、パーティーでＤＪプレイしてたよ。
それは、ノーコメントで（笑）。あと、そうそう、知ってるよ、five o’clock heroesのコラボで歌手デビューしたね。
まあ、声が透き通っているといか、きれいだとは思うよ。
けど、何かこの曲があんまりパッとしなかったね。
まあ、これから長い目で見てあげて（笑）。
モデルの歌手デビューは賛否両論あるね。
ＧＩＬＤＡもＮＹＣのファッションアイコンだね！
クイーンだしね！
やっぱり、いいな、、、ＮＹＣ。
そろそろ、ふらっと遊びに行こうかなと考え中です。
best regards.
Zakuro.
I think your hair looks nice
Also, love the stockings.
I think you look amazing! Every day should be dress up day.
I think my hair is the same as yours, I haven’t had mine cut in ages do and it needs doing so badly…
I keep dreaming about black tulle skirts with velvet edging. I think I’m going to live in tulle this summer.
PS: Yes, i agree, you need a haircut. But you could just do that sexy messy bedhair thing if you wanted, until you are less broke.
Have I told you that I loooooooove that skirt? And you know what – I don’t believe in overdressing! You can never be too dressy
I love dressing up!
But guess what? To continue with the snaps cup from yesterday, I got tagged with two blogging awards and tag you with them, because you’re one of my absolute favourite writers! Pop on over to CPR to have a look! :]
Woah….5am?! That’s practically still night!
Love the outfit, you look like some kind of urban fairy. Beautiful
so much fun! and i think your hair looks good, too. now I’m craving Luger’s, thanks alot!
5:55 am, ohh my waking hour for when I go to school… I don’t want to go back!
Well, I do.
Anyways, your stocking are fab! I wish I had more skirts to wear stockings with. and I wish I had more stockings XD.
I love that skirt, it’s so wonderful!
Kisses.
that skirt. is. amazing.
you pull it off wonderfully too. while I’m mostly a bit of an underdresser myself (I always feel nervous of being prissy if I’m wearing, say, coloured leggings), I think overdressing is totally worth it, especially if you manage to look as cute as you do! props!
It’s far more exciting to be dressed up then down, so props to you for doing it every day! You look fantastic. I love how you wear everything with such confidence.
Oh, and I’m broke broke broke too. Such is the life when you’re in college trying to survive!
And on a final note, your hair does not look ugly. You still look lovely =)
I’m a vegetarian and every once in awhile I salivate over the thought of a steak too!
I freaking love your outfit. Editing is for scary cats. If I saw you walking down the street I would burst into a huge grin, and if you were my sales person, it would totally make my day! Rock on.
I WANT THOSE TIGHTS! THEY ARE WAY TOO CUTE!
Gilda,
Forgive me if I’m way out of the loop, but–how/why have you gotten to work at Pat Field’s if you don’t officially work there? That sounds like amazing x 100000!
ALSO, I’ve read articles in Vogue about how it’s now chic to have visible roots. So head up, lady, and pretend it’s on purpose!
Dude you crack me up! Your outfit rocks.

i’m TOTALLY nocturnal! i think if i didn’t have my work to do and the need to wake up at 10am for it, my days and nights would be completely turned around. i love the quietness of the night and just being alone and enjoying all that! i hate mornings… unless i hadn’t slept all night, in which case i love mornings. hahaha! if you were nearby i’d call you to go out for middle-of-the-night snacks
+zakuro+
コメントありがとーー！！メルシーに似合うって言ってくれてすごい嬉しい！笑 メルシーボークーの大ファンなんで！不思議でかわいくて、宇津木さんは本当に天才だと思う！！そうそう、アギネスはかわいいとは思うけど、モデル以外の仕事は、こっちから見ると、彼女の代わりに恥ずかしさを感じるからやめてほしいなぁと！heidi klumの歌デビューは見たことある？すごい鳥肌立たされたんだよね！そして、褒められすぎたけどありがとー。nyではみんなあまりドレスアップをしないからあたしが目立つだけですよ。笑
+fi.+
aren’t the stockings so cute? i’m so in love with them, i want to go back and buy other colors!
+queen lazy+
ugh. my hair ends are really just all over the place because they tend to curl in one weird direction (all towards the right!) when they hit the length around my shoulders!!! so it’s really annoying and i usually get my stylist to cut some mega amazing style to counter that. we both need to save our hair!
+song+
and yeah i’ve totally been trying to do that “sexy bedhair thing” except of course my hair really is quite flat without some great cut, so the sexy bedhair thing usually turns out to be just messy ends. even with styling wax, it’s slowly starting to not work anymore! eeks!
black tulle skirts with velvet lining sounds amazing. i love tulle. you should do it summer or not!
+casey-scott+
i love the skirt too! i wish i could wear it more often but it’s hard to wear something like that everyday. i’ve only worn it abut 5 times since i bought it and i need more mileage! and yes yes i love that you agree on overdressing! ;D although sometimes i really overdo it. heh heh. ohhhh thank you for that blog award!!! *hug*
+popartpistol+
hmmm… did you say “that’s still night” in a good or bad way? haha. i used to totally stay awake till the birds start singing and the sun woke up, before i went to bed. terrible eh? and thank you very much!
+fashionherald+
omg isn’t peter luger’s just sooo yummy? god i want it so bad. just dreaming of that porterhouse cut! AHH!! and have you tried their bacon!?!?!?
+julie+
excuse me? you have to wake up at 5:55 for school?!!??! why so early!?!? that’s so insane! oh yeah i notice you don’t wear much skirts. i never used to either until i hit my 20s, actually.
+alix d’laire+
don’t feel nervous just exploring color. while i really do love black, i love color too and it really helps start a bright day!
no…. colored leggings isn’t prissy!! is it?
+ayesha+
i do get the occasional “look at that crazy girl!” comment on the street but i usually turn to them and go “yes?”. just kidding i usually just ignore it. doesn’t college just drain you? i spend hundreds on fabric and copying/printing and paint materials! it’s insane and my parents sometimes don’t believe me when i tell them paint costs like 5 bucks a tube and i need 10. pooh.
+rachel+
really? you do?? i have this friend who’s so staunch she tries to make us all go vegetarians too and it actually annoys me a bit because she totally harps over it! like it’s a huge sin and i’m the devil. so i love that you sometimes salivate over the thought of meat. heh heh. editing is for scary cats!! that’s my new favorite quote. hee hee!
+m.b. whimsical+
i know right? hahha! when i saw them i immediately took one from the rack!
+material girl+
haha, i started off interning there at the start of summer. i actually work in the back office helping with merchandising, so technically i don’t work on the floor as a sales assistant/stylist. that was just the second time i did it, only because they were short on staff that day! oh i read that article before… and yes i am pretending. hee hee!
+marisol+
i’m glad i made you laugh
oh, that skirt is sooo fab! no worries about the hair, i think you look amazing even so. plus, real beauty comes from the inside
kisses
wow!! awesome outfit!! i really really like it!
Oh, Gilda – once again, you look completely and utterly amazing. I LOVE your Daily Outfit Photos! Ah!
P.S. Just to let you know, I have added you to my ‘Links I Love’ page!
+daiane+
rather avant garde isn’t it? i fell in love with it at first sight. and ohhh you’re too kinda hahahaha.
+whimsical delights+
thank you!! xox!
+miss corrine+
merci merci!!!! that reminds me, i really gotta get my links page done up!
I know you should sleep, but it’s so great you took these picture before you went to bed! They are so fun and summery! Dear, you’ve got this MOST AMAZING HAIR COLOUR! I love it to bits! Your tights and flats… oh my, soooooooo cute xxxxxxx
+times of glory+
ohhh you’re too kind. hahahah but thank you! the hair color is actually REALLY washed out. the red is lifeless and drabby now and my roots are… i really love those tights and am so tempted to go buy another one in pink or green!
oooo. gilda, i adore the tights. sooo much. i got 2 from london once but they’re worn out! it was just black and the lacy is hotttt… And i’m watching out for those tights still. Wondering i shud stick to plain black but with lacey’s and patterns on em. But I really adore your tights :p buy more when you can and take care of em, hehehe~
p.s: i got it hooked up to my nail and it was so unbearable to say goodbye to them >.<
you’re the cutest thing ever!
and i love your stockings :3
+mynrose+
hahaha thanks! hot black lace stockings sound… hot!!! you should definitely get a couple of pairs the next time you lay your eyes on them. they are fragile things! i get my nails caught in them all the time then i look at the tear and want to cry. boo!
+l.+
thank you and i love them too! whee!
