Ever since seeing the Glamourai mix multiple polka dotted items, I’ve had a yearning to also cover myself in polka dots. It took me forever to find the right shirt and the right skirt and make sure the polka dots were indeed different sizes. My perseverance paid off, though, and I am happily polka dotted today. I am also mixing black and brown. So, multiple prints? Check. Black and Brown? Check. Awkward blogger pose? Check!

Or rather, fancy tights. My unofficial theme for the week has been funky tights. Dunno why, but I like it. I’ve amassed quite the collection of tights since I started blogging. Before this, I think I had black tights, black tights, and maybe a pair of navy tights. However I vaguely remember one particularly awesome outfit from high school. It was a blue sweater, denim skirt, bright pink tights, and black fishnets over the tights. I was so cool.
Yesterday’s oufit:
Laurie B. sweater (from Swirl)
J. Crew button-down shirt
H&M pleather skirt
Forgot the brand of tights, sorry!
Steve Madden combat boots
Today’s outfit:
Laurie B. draped cardigan (again, from Swirl)
American apparel tee
H&M skirt
Express tights
Rocket Dog boots
J.Crew and Forever21 necklaces
And… you may have noticed that my sidebar looks a little different. Well, I’m proud to welcome Shopbop as my first advertising partner. I have no plans to overrun the site with ads and paid links, and actually turned down a few previous offers. But it’s a pleasure to associate myself with a company that I love shopping with because of their fast shipping, great customer service, and fun lookbooks!

Even with the extra hour thanks to Daylight Saving Time, the weekend was still too short. I finally wrapped up a DIY I started weeks ago and caught up on my blog reading. And then it was Sunday evening and I got excited because even though it meant the weekend was over, my new favorite TV shows were on. Have you seen Once Upon a Time yet? It’s a fun take on classic fairy tales. And Robert Carlyle plays Rumpelstiltksin, which infinitely adds to the awesome. And there’s The Walking Dead. This season has been fantastic so far (although there could be a little more zombie carnage)!
And because this is a fashion blog, not a “what did I watch on tv blog,” here are some outfits from last week and yesterday.

I am at a lack of words today. I could grumble about the weather, or talk about the cats. But mostly I just really like my outfit today so I’m going to show it to you, mmmkay?
I can’t decide if that’s my seductive face or my angry face. Or maybe my “fuck, I wish I was still in bed face.” Yeah, that one sounds about right.
shirt- J.Crew (swapped)
jeans- Forever21
boots- Aldo (DIY glittered)

I never thought I’d see the day, but I’m getting a little tired of shopping. My closet is full and I have plenty of options of things to wear to work, to party, to lay in bed with the cats with, to attend a black-tie affair (I did end up keeping the Lanvin skirt), and so forth. I mean, I’m still browsing online and looking at gorgeous clothing, but really…why? Of course I could find items to covet but do I need to add more to my closet? There are a few caveats, of course. I’m still desperate for a pair of (affordable) leather pants or leggings, a pair of dark denim waxed jeans, and the perfect over-the-knee boots.
One item I knocked off the list was a bright, saturated pink skirt. It’s been a journey. I searched stores. I searched ebay. I searched fabric stores in hopes of having a skirt made. Nothing was ever bright enough. Then I found it on etsy from vintage seller, Vintage Riches. It was on hold for someone else but I got lucky I was able to buy it when the first buyer fell through. Lucky me, because it fits (a little tight, but I’ll suffer) and it’s pink enough. Seriously. It’s just as bright in real life as it is in the photos. I could not be freaking happier!
It came with a matching cape which doesn’t fit me quite as well, but I suspect it will see a second life as another type of garment. Today I paired with shades of grey to make the pink stand out even more and some neon jewelry.
