Demolition Derby


This is what I wore last night to a nearby county fair. I love carnivals... the lights, the music, the unapologetic grime. It wouldn't be summertime without at least one ride on a ferris wheel.

  • DIY tank top made from a plain white t-shirt (tutorial coming soon!)
  • Pink American Apparel bra
  • Wet Seal teal acid wash skinny jeans
  • Urban Outfitters sunglasses
  • My name necklace
  • Beaded bracelet
  • Doc Marten's

    • Plus you've gotta love the demotion derby. So. Much. Fun.

    See more pics from last night on My Twitter.

      I’ve never been to a demolition derby but it’s on my list of things to do some day. I think that watching old cars get smashed up sounds oddly therapeutic

      Hi. I came over from Entrecard. That does look like fun and the outfit was very fitting :)

      Amazing tank top! I can’t wait to mess around with more bleach and Dylon when I have free time.

      I’ve wanted to go to a Demolition Derby after seeing it on the Simpsons so many times; shame they don’t have anything like it here! Great idea though.

      Hey Annie!

      Fab outfit! I love the way your working those docs, unlaced and all. I’m so envious of people that have the high top docs! I’ve only been able to thrift the lows, and I refuse to buy brand new docs when I KNOW I can find them at a thrift store SOMEWHERE in my size!! (hopefully!) I’ve been going to good wills and vintage/thrift stores all the time and no luck yet, but we’ll see.

      Can’t wait to see the DIY of this tank! I love it :) Any chance of DIY’ing it in red instead of blue? I think that’d look sick, too.

      Really like the idea of a name necklace…deffo going to have to pick one of those up asap!

      xox, mavi

      Thanks, everyone! Yeah, county fairs are really a lot of fun. I highly recommend. And the demolition derby is all kinds of thrills and unintentional comedy. I love it!

      Mavi – Tommy Hilfiger totally copied your comment! Lol… I disabled the spam url, but thought it was kind of funny so I’m leaving it. I /love/ your idea for making a red tank like this. And good luck finding your Docs! I would check eBay. :)

      E.K. – Unfortunately, no! Damn..
