I wish I wasn’t flesh and blood I would not be scared of bullets built with me in mind

I put on this dress and had plans to wear some very cute brown platform pumps. Then I opened up my window and lost a piece of my nose to frostbite. In May. The boots had to come out of hiding. Stupid Boston.

I wish I had taken better pictures of this dress. It’s basically a giant silk rectangle with ties to make a bow in the front of the back. When it’s tied in the back all the fabric bunches up and it looks like a mini-bustle. I’ve worn this dress to weddings and to work. That is versatility baby!

Shout when you wanna get off the ride ‘coz you crossed my mind

This is me trying something new. It looked a little sloppy and it looked a lot like a british school uniform. And yep, I got loads of weird looks wearing my knee high socks.

You want it all. You want it cheap. You want some peace. So you can sleep.

I am tingly with anticipation over here. Yes, tingly. In just a few months I will no longer be using my 6 year old ibook. Just. a. little. more. saving. And a nice refund from Uncle Sam!

This outfit is from last week. I have never worn so much yellow in my life. But now I like it.

I Can’t Use What I Can’t Abuse. and i can’t stop when it comes to you.

Like so many others, I am desperate for warm weather and the opportunity to start wearing my summer clothes again. So I’m stuck layering for now.

Part one: pretty shirt. feels like spring. except for the goosebumps on my arms.

Part two: despite my animal print, I am truly a delicate flower.

part three: I’ve finally accepted the fact that it’s not yet spring.

part four: my favorite cold weather accessory for keeping my neck warm.

Aha Shake Taper Jean Girl with a Motel Face

I like today’s (well, yesterday’s) outfit better than the last one I posted. What’s been on your mind? I’ve been:

  • obsessively listening to Kings of Leon
  • avoiding doing laundry
  • eating desert before dinner
  • telling especially dirty jokes
  • missing my sister

Wait a minute honey, I’m gonna add it up

In all my excitement over New York Fashion Week, I haven’t bothered to post any outfits. And I’ve had some cute outfits!

Top- Forever21
Tank top- Forever21

Apparently this lace top (and the dress version) have become very popular and sold out. I’m so glad I got mine early. It’s absolutely lovely on.

Love, love, love the combo of yellow and navy. Also, I think I finally perfected my version of “naturally” wavy hair.

Guess You Go Too Far When Pianos Try to be Guitars

I can’t stop wearing this top. LOVE IT. I “borrowed” it from my mom ages ago and… she’s not getting it back. Sorry mom!

Remember my aversion to business clothes? Apparently, Chloe Kitten has no problem with them. She’s quite happy in proper business attire.

Yes, my girl cat is wearing a necktie. I think it’s quite chic, with a vintage vibe :)

Ever get a thought lodged in your head and it doesn’t go away, no matter what? No amount of alcohol, food, or laughter could stop me from thinking that thing.

I’ll keep kicking the crap till it’s gone…

I know that it won’t last, but the weather was gorgeous today. The sun came out, it wasn’t freeze-your-nips-off cold. It made my day. In fact, a coworker said that she hadn’t seen me this happy since, well… summertime.

So I broke out my new oxfords and added some ruffles. And the super-opaque tights? They’re the new fleece-lined tights from plush. I’m going to do a proper review, but in a word? buythem.

 

more ruffles and oxfords

Huh? You wish you could see the details better? Done!

Well, I Gotta Have Faith…

Tonight I realized I should have more faith in my instincts. Why do we all insist on lying to ourselves and ignoring what we know? Ahh… time to brush myself off. Because I have something special. And I’m not talking about inner beauty, intelligence, or grace, or anything cheesy like that.

 

I have pompoms on my socks! And yes, they’ve made everything better.

And I have a tree that when I hide behind it, I magically become glamorous and mysterious. Yes?
