Long-lost Lola

Nathan Smith shirt
Saxony jeans
Leather jacket from random Asian store
Sperry Top-Sider boat shoes
When I introduced Lola to my sister, she proclaimed how Lola looked more related to me than she did. Going by the reactions received whenever we go out, I was starting to believe it was true. Lola and I, Siblings? Could this be true? I quickly sought out my mother to ask her if she had given a daughter up for adoption. Because frankly, the question of me being adopted would never arise seeing as no one would willing disown me, right? My mother, however, wasn't very helpful. She was just head over heels excited that I had brought home a girl, and was asking if we wanted a Spring or Fall wedding. Typical.

But really, you know you have a problem when you look in the mirror and another persons face stares back at you. Not like in a horror movie scenario, where you wake up and look in the bathroom mirror and ohmygawd is that my long lost sister who drowned in a well and is coming back to haunt me because my mother loved me more. More like when you go to your nose job appointment asking to look like Gwyneth Paltrow and come out looking like Shrek. Yes I just made similarities between Shrek and Lola <3

So what better way to break the similarities than a new nose job! I kid I kid. I just got a haircut. One that would help differentiate us and accentuate my lack of facial features, you know high cheek bones, square jaw, big dreamy eyes.

I also brought out these boat shoes that are in the most difficult colour to work with. Right now the only thing I wear with it is the Nathan Smith shirt which is in the same colour because all the fashionistas give me +10 points for colour co-ordinating.

Linda's chiffon shawl

  1. Nice haircut! I pretty much died when you elaborated on the seasonal wedding. Aren't you guys cute, haha, Shrek and Lola, I'd probably be intimated by the both of you in real life because of your incredible styles :X I really like how you've complimented your light-wash jeans with your Nathan Smith shirt! Ahh, Lola looks stunning in that dress.
