Breaking the Code - Part 3 of 3 - Stop! Aria Time!

Ann Foster - Staff Editor It's Aria time!
Who's that girl in the studded dog collar necklace? It's Aria!

Maybe it's like an artistic statement for how she feels her parents are holding her prisoner, like she's on a leash, sort of thing?
Her hair looks cute in the curly ponytail, although there are so many things going on with this outfit she could have put her hair in Sailor Moon pigtails and it would still match.

So, this is a green skull tanktop layered under... a velvet backless vest? What the what? Did she get that from the same store Spencer got her Motocross Trench Coat of Insanity? The store of forgotten clothing items that nobody should ever wear or buy?
If there's one thing we've learned from Pretty Little Liars, it's that a cute leather jacket can distract from even the weirdest outfits.

Oh, God, Spencer's jacket of insanity again. I'm surprised the blackmailer trusted these two looney tunes gave him actual money, and not pieces of paper somebody convinced them was like money, but more fashionable.
Anyway, Aria must have been first in line at the ABC Family ring warehouse because these rings are hella cute:

Pop quiz! You can't decide between two different kinds of patterned nail strips. Do you a) put one pattern on each hand or b) mix them up at random, like you're Mondo and your hands are this week's challenge?

I can't hate on these nails. These are some intense, graphic, fun-loving nails and, if I found those nail strips, I might just mix them up like this myself. But... with the rest of the outfit, it's kind of overkill.
Sorry, what's that? I haven't shown you the rest of the outfit? Ooh, honey. Brace yourself.

"Oh, she's wearing leopard print leggings. That's a bold statement, but... wait, why is her right leg so much darker? Is it a shadow?"

Somewhere in Rosewood, someone is running around with the right leopard-print leg along with Spencer's trenchcoat sleeves and the rest of Aria's vest. Because those are LEGGINGS WITH ONE LEOPARD LEG AND ONE BLACK LEG. What evil leggings company provides such things?
Anyway, this is a good outfit for snooping around strangers' houses in the dark of night, right?

"There's a disembodied leopard-print leg breaking into my house! Call the cops!"
So anyway, Aria's selection for 80s Cocktail Dress Day at Rosewood High was... pointy.

I suppose if you're going to wear a chambray dress with one pointy studded shoulder, it makes sense to tease your hair onto the other shoulder. Better to display your SHOULDER SPIKES OH MY GOD WHAT IS SHE WEARING??

Even her mini silver dreamcatcher shoulder sweeping earrings can't distract from the SHOULDER SPIKES. Is this why Ezra wore the jacket with the elbow patches? Like armour, in case Aria tried to snuggle up against him?
Later on, Aria was crying in bed and Ella was like, "Aria, what's wrong?"

"I chose the wrong shoulder to lean on! My face is impaled to the shoulder of my dress! I'm bleeding from the cheek! Oh, also Ezra broke up with me. Can you help pry me off of my shoulder? THX."

Oh man funniest post ever! I seriously can't believe I did not even notice the leopard print leg-astrophe. It was such an intense episode that every piece of clothing (besides Ashley's ah-mazing zipper lace dress) went right past me. But hey that's what I have YKYLF for!
LOL this post made me laugh!!!Aria always wears the craziest things...in her defence though I think that velvet purple thing she wore wasn't actually a vest,it's one of those round cowls you are supposed to wear around your neck only Aria,being well Aria,decided to make a vest out of it.I do love the color combo with the green skull shirt though!And I too didn't notice the two different legged leggings,even though I did notice the leopard print one but I decided to move past it and focus on the drama!
Great post :D
But Spencer's jacket is burberry, Troian have worn it herself (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LDeG5a3mLq0/TyrtfyVJ28I/AAAAAAAADds/QgUsyN2NogY/s640/Leather-Sleeve-Coats-6.jpg)
