I realized something this weekend. I am Chloe Cat’s booty call. See, before Calliope joined the household, Chloe was perfectly happy having all my attention. She’d be sitting on the couch waiting for me when I got home from work. She’d sleep next to me (or at least on the bed) all night. Now that she has to share me with Calliope, she’s gotten into a very unique method of getting my attention. During the day, she doesn’t care at all about me. I get home from work, she barely deigns to lift her head off of the bed. But when it’s 2 or 3am, I hear the most pathetic little meow and she jumps on my chest and purrs and snuggles and manages to get loads of affection from my half-asleep form. But when I wake up, she’s long gone. Now, is that not the perfect description of a classic booty call? I feel so used.
I wore this outfit on Saturday, walking around and window shopping with a friend. She was properly dressed for the weather (windy and cold) but I pulled the shirt out of my closet and was immediately inspired to try a Cherry Blossom Girl-esque outfit. I skipped heels, which would have been very Cherry Blossom Girl. After all, window shopping is an athletic endeavor. I have to say, I did feel very chic and sexy, despite wearing loose clothing. I had to include this picture of Calliope trying to give me a kiss. She’s a real gentlemen…lady…non-booty caller!

I wore this outfit Saturday night out with Becca of Free Honey and Marissa of The Well-Appointed Catwalk. We all laughed when we revealed that we had some dressing anxiety when it came to hanging out with other fashion bloggers. I will say, though, we were a very well-dressed bunch! I’m also proud to say that at one point I hustled them into the bathroom and demanded they try out the bright pink lipstick I brought. It looked great on them both. I love introducing my friends to things they haven’t tried out before. Another (2) ladies are no longer bright lipsticks virgins!
The skirt is another piece I got at the Swapaholics clothing swap. When I picked it up I assumed it would be too small, but the back is elasticized. Whew! It’s also very short, like way shorter that it looks in this picture. I rarely wear short skirts, and it was nice to do something a little different.

I wore this to work on Tuesday after spending the long weekend watching movies, sleeping, and generally being a lump. The pants are actually men’s pants that I got during the Swapaholics clothing swap a few weeks ago. When I first grabbed them, I had no idea they were men’s pants. And once I got home I thought “great, they’ll be super baggy, so it’ll be obvious that they’re men’s pants and I’ll be that wicked cool chick walking around in men’s pants.” Then I tried them on and they were not nearly as slouchy as I had hoped- except in the crotch where I lack the… equipment to fill all that room. I still really love them and I think they look pretty good.

Another casual weekend outfit. I was running around, getting some random items I needed and I decided to stop in to Filene’s Basement. Dude. They had a huge selection of designer pieces that I couldn’t resist rifling through. I was sort of amazed by the variety of designers and cool stuff they had. I also completely embarrassed myself by emitting a slightly erm… passionate moan when I found a pair of Haider Ackermann metallic printed leggings. Everyone in the vicinity quickly moved away from me. Whoops. Of course I couldn’t afford anything, even at Filene’s Basement prices. But it was great to try on some things and admire the beautiful fabrics.

Friday night tapas for a girlfriends birthday! I bought this dress at the end of spring from Ebay and have been waiting impatiently for the weather to cool down enough to wear it. Right before I left the house I realized I’d better put a skirt on underneath. Once I put on my jacket and bag, the side of my dress rode up and I was really happy to be wearing that skirt!
