Rocking Stones

04.07.11

The other morning I woke up with this rock and roll state-of-mind. I had a vision of wearing lots of black, rocking a sweet headband, wearing a “rocking” ring, and attending a rock show to ward off those crazy school semester woes.

Ok, so maybe only a few of these ideas could be possible at this time (going to any kind of rock show is off limits this week, thanks homework), but I thought it would be fun to work with what I did have.

Headband: Target; Cardigan; Target: Black tank-top; Quartz ring: Stone and Honey; Bangle: Kate Spade; Levi’s; Jeans: Levi’s; Mary-janes: Dansko

Growing up I went to a lot of shows. In high school I went to one almost every weekend with my friends, and just loved spending the night singing along to all of my favorite songs. I remember having a somewhat “uniform” that I wore to shows, which usually included a tank top, jeans, closed-toe shoes, and a small cross-body purse to hold my essentials and tiny camera. Oh, and I always had my hair pulled up into a ponytail or a bun (my hair was really long in high school too).
This outfit definitely reminds me of my high school show uniform, and for me was a fun little reminder of the past. Ya know, those days that I would stand in line for hours just to see Brand New, The Format, and Fall Out Boy (shhh don’t tell anyone that).

On another note, for months now I’ve been lusting over everything in the Stone and Honey shop, but mostly over their quartz and gold rings though. For awhile I couldn’t justify spending the money on one, but after months of saving money I received as a gift for Christmas, I decide to splurge and buy something I truly wanted.

I bought the large quartz and gold ring a few weeks ago, and was so excited when it came in the mail the other day. It was a bit bigger than I was expecting (size of ring and quartz, although the website does say sizes of quartz do vary), but I am happy to say that I absolutely love it and it’s the perfect statement ring. I’ve already received some sweet comments about it, and have thought about how I could use it as a weapon if anyone ever tried to mug me. Pieces that are fashionable and functional are my favorite thing! :]

What is/was your concert uniform? What do you think about statement rings?
