Quickie before bed/stuffing my face with more exciting nucleic acid metabolism pathways ... this is the crazy "I've-worn-pencil-skirts-past-my-tolerance-threshold" outfit I sported to the grand opening of the H&M store at the Polaris mall in Columbus. Long story short, had a blast though waiting for 2.5 hours to make sure we got prizes - my friend and I got $75 to shop with each! Whole bagful of fall essentials. These $13 H&M flashy things attract unwanted attention in the nightlife scene so I have to remember not to wear things that lure drunken undergrad boys - apparently one is safer wearing a skintight short dress. I call 'em my dalmatian pants and a friend pointed out that makes me like an angsty teenage Cruella DeVille. I'll take it. She was so scary as I was obsessed with 101 Dalmatians in elementary school. Whopping size 8 btw - that's how badly I wanted these pants. There was no way my butt was squeezing into a 2 and that was the only other pair left.

Threw on a thrifted denim vest that I got for $5 in San Jose and my hair pulled up into a high side ponytail. Add a golden spiked chain necklace and pile on the arm candy (which I rarely ever do because it's so clunky and in the way of everything productive) and we can call it a day. Last but not least my new kicks - so comfy because the pitch is not high at all. They feel like flats and are actually more comfortable since I managed to get a bleeding blister on my foot heel from new loafers. Man did I exude the badass in these shots. Now I'm getting gutsy enough to park my tripod in the middle of my apartment complex where all my hidden neighbors can see. Sense of shame? What shame?

Yesterday I saw my first real-real patient at the Columbus Free Clinic and had a great experience. Pretending like I know what's going on when I have no clue ... working on that pokerface. Today was a few hours freezing in 55 degree lecture hall, then off to the 100 degree sauna of my car to run errands ironically for my car. Looking forward to seeing JJ arrive tomorrow for the long weekend and going to get infamous ice cream and gallery hopping before Cedar Point!

SHE'S A REBEL, SHE'S A SAINT. The strange title is from my old screen name in junior high. Yes, once upon a time Angie had her punk/goth experimentation phases. I googled this and apparently "Riot grrrl" is an underground feminist punk movement based in the Pacific Northwest - who knew? My British friend Ben approved of my interpretation of a "London juvenile misfit" outfit: success. Yeah, I felt 5x more badass stomping around campus last Thursday (9/22) in this get-up. As I recall, it was cold and moody most of the day, but here comes the sun right when we were shooting in McMillan courtyard.

PLAID + LEATHER JACKET + SUSPENDERS DOWN is the combo here. Wearing suspenders the cool and hip way makes my tush look really funny from behind but it was worth the extra deciliter of attitude. Add the little plaid cropped jacket I scored from Kileen's blog sale for only $5. Turned it inside out to match my royal blue tee and despite all the tags sticking out, it fit in perfectly with the misfit them. Finished off with my old Chucks, DIY checkered with fabric paint.

You should check out Ann He, a 16-year-old photographer that I just spotted in Seventeen Oct 2011 issue. She was one of the finalists and I googled her out of curiosity. Her fashion photos are breath-taking to say the least. Lookbook-perfect doesn't begin to describe the ethereal and artistic creativity that embodies her photography. This girl has the eye of the tiger camera. And she's only 16 ... holy crap. What was I doing at 16 !?

Biochem, immunology, science overload. Do not deny the Bill Nye.
