Working retail, sporting some serious jangle (or “neck tackle”, a term i just invented), you know, LIVING THE DREAM(it helps to believe).
From the top: Scarlett Garnet Year of the Rabbit Necklace, Jangle I made today at work, Super-secret-friendship-heart necklace (other half owned by best friend, Lindsay Mistretta)
In other news there has been a SCANDALOUS showing of midriff happening today. Plz don’t tell my mom. Also, special guest appearance from……. my phone? Do try to contain your excitement.
Well, this has been fun, hasn’t it? Eat your hearts out, princes and princesses.
How about a wild stab at a style entry? If I fall terribly short of your expectations, sorry. Conversely, if you find this type of entry appealing, let a girl know. Whatever the case, I care about style, and I’ve been cultivating my own for many moons. Hows about I share a fraction of my style manifesto? I like color and I like not being concerned with matching all the time. I like being comfortable, but I will occasionally make sacrifices in my footwear. I often think while getting dressed “what would Nancy Botwin wear” although I rarely end up looking like her. Sads.
All parts of this costume have been in my possession for a year or more, but for the sake of curiosity:
Jacket – Urban Outfitters
Teal Blouse – Target
Linen Pants – Thrifted
Woven Flats – Target
Bracelets – Gifted/Thrifted
March’s produce of the month is coming soon, I PROMISE. Eat your hearts out,
I’ve been a neglectful, sorry excuse for a bloggerina and I apologize. Because I love you all. Truly. Madly. Deeply.
That said, I think it’s high time we all went under the influence, flickr style. If you don’t have a flickr account I don’t blame you because it costs $$ to have an unlimited account, but it is absolutely free to putter around and look at really pretty photographs. Here are some of my all time favorites to feed your eye holes with. BTDub, is that your boss standing behind you? Cause this shit’s mildly NSFW:
fake inflatable doll – dana
perhydrol
Elekrisiti
From the Vaults: Mildred Von – Nadya Lev
Day 399 – Virtuosity – Christophe Verdier
frei – Jason Robinette
la vague – quadratiges
As always, eat your heart out,
I took the plunge made (in)famous by Brit-Brit Spears, invested in drug store electric hair clippers and went to town on my own head. It felt awesome, really, I would recommend it to anyone. I am calling the result my “Quid-Pro-Quo-Hawk” because although it is technically a mohawk, I won’t be wearing it up (okay maybe once for kicks). Also, I love the idea of adding the phrase “quid pro quo” to my daily vocabulary no matter how little since it makes to anyone else.
Btw, new dress pictured above. Thrifted from “Clothez Minded” in Westport over the weekend. It’s a dress with a hood AND pockets. All the best things in the world ROLLED INTO ONE! It’s really just tremendous.
Eat your hearts out, ya’ll,
For those of you who remain blissfully unaware of a little thing called GILT, it is now being inflicted upon you whether you like it or not. This afternoon I caved under the incredible pressure of these:
Lovely, no? And, since I’m just sitting around here at work I made a polyvore set of just one way I’d don these waterproof wonders. Behold:
Probably one of the best outfits I’ve EVAR conceived. Did I need these boots? Probably not. But fall is fast approaching and these puppies are just what a Kansas Citian needs for the cool, rainy days ahead.
Now you can’t wait to start your own GILT account, can you? Well click here for an invite, you can thank/curse me later.
Eat your heart out,
Sometimes serious, mostly sassy, frequently loud, seldom perky and always fancy.
