Look of the Day: Stuck in the 90's

143 is what we say when we're texting...You mean paging! Omg anyone else remember the {good} old days of pagers!? Wow, we were just begging for text messaging, weren't we? Forgive me if you were too young to have deal with pagers. Well, these days of having banned internet and really bad At&t phone service at work have me feeling reminiscent of the old days of relying on pager codes and an internet consisting of AOL chat rooms (uumm creepy).
Ohh and with the lack of technology, I am also lacking my trusty tripod, she broke, lame. So you have just mirror pictures until I replace her.

I am wearing an old Elizabeth and James blazer (Similar E&J and similar for less), Jbrand Doll Jeans, skinny Forever 21 belt (similar F21 here) and and a Nordstrom BP button up.
My inspiration from the Vogue May 2010 issue. 823!

  13. OMG! Pagers were the coolest. I used to have my BF text me and then I would secretly call him after my bedtime. 143 was the best! However I am not familiar with the 823? Your outfit is lovely.

  19. Your paging comment is hilarious. I totally remember those days. My friend had a hot pink one. I thought the Hangover was so funny when Alan was asking the hotel receptionist about the "sig on his pager."
