A Month of...

82

2011-08-25T19:15:00.000-07:00

Wholly unpractical for daily wear! Not work appropriate! Prone to traffic-stopping-stares! Out buying groceries in that?!

Shenanigans, I'll find a way.

Georgia, a one inch heeled "Motorcycle boot" with a buttload of buckles. Now I just need a motorcycle, and the rest of the riding leathers to go with it...

81

2011-08-24T19:15:00.000-07:00

These are pretending to be snow boots with attitude. They are NOT snow boots. Unless your idea of snow is a few weeks in Aspen going to parties and lounging fire-side with cocktails and listening to men-who-ski tell epic tales and smoke cigars.

I'd be down for that. Completely.

Clare - is a black suede stacked heel boot, with a neat buckle....thing that covers the laces. I'm ready for Winter now, just not the snow.

80

2011-08-23T19:14:00.000-07:00

Red. Suede. Straps. Pointy platforms. These pumps mean red-scarlet-harlot business. Just sayin'.

Sorry, my bad. ALMOND toed pumps. Gotta use the right terminology. Jeez. Alvy has a (modest for these) 4.5 inch heel. Red suede, with red patent straps.

2011-08-20T19:03:00.000-07:00

There's a word that foodie's use to describe a kind of flavor you can't really describe because it's a little different for everyone. Umami.

I need a term like that for shoes. I have a look/style/feeling that I watch for. Somewhere in the category of unusual/eccentric/eye-catching/bizarre/distinct/almost-one-of-a-kind. None of those words really do it for me. But these shoes do.

Gina - black rhinestone buckled Mary Jane's. I'm a sucker for Mary Jane's of any heel height. And the neat part of theses, aside from the just-unusual-enough heel shape, is how the sides and back come up just past where you might expect, ut not too far to make them booties.

And we all know I'm a sucker for rhinestones.

78

2011-08-18T19:14:00.000-07:00

Eeeeeeeee houndstooth! Do I actually own any houndstooth footwear yet? I can't rememebr. Well I do now. This just feels like a pair Jamie would wear with her Love Detective get-up in GWS.

Urban they call her, and I don't know WHY they decided to use that. These aren't terribly urban, unless your idea of urban is a Sherlock-esque detective lady. With sass. And lots of boobage. Because that's way more accurate. Wither way, I have hounds-tooth booties. All is well.

77

2011-08-16T19:14:00.000-07:00

Getting all the fierce shoes out of my system before the new work dress code kicks in. No more open toes, or high heels or outlandish styles. Boo. I will find a way to wear sassy but sensible shoes to work.

Or die trying.

But I'd rather not die.

Lexus - black patent and Lycra platform pump. The Lycra makes this pair so comfortable, it's insane. No zippers or buckles to tighten or rub me wrong. It's like wearing a pair of yoga pants on my feet, in...shoe form. That totally makes sense, just work with me here.

Tangent: they come in other "colors". If by colors you mean ZEBRA with red patent, and LEOPARD with black patent. Those are not colors. Those are seriously 90's patterns that should for the most part remain in the 90's.

Unless you're having a 90's party, in which case I might be incredibly well prepared.

76

2011-08-15T19:09:00.000-07:00

Ok, these walk the line of being totally hoochie. I mean, even their name...but I like red, and I'm sure there will be an opportunity or need to be stupidly tall.

5.5 inch heels in these babies. Honestly now, that's just asking for trouble.

They're called Hucci, which is a few letters misspelled from Hoochie. Which they pretty much are, to be honest. Red velvet cage platform pumps.

Don't ask me how to make these marginally classy, I'm not sure if even I can do that.

75

2011-08-13T19:02:00.001-07:00

I am so wearing these with one of my delightful viintage dresses next month for a wedding. Lace everywhere.

Alena - Black lace peep toe pumps. Also: asymmetrical, awesome, adorable, and alliterative.

74

2011-08-12T20:02:00.000-07:00

What category are these anyway? Not wedges exactly. Espadrilles? Kind of. You have to admit the wacky heel thing is pretty snazzy. Yeah, I said snazzy. Next thing you now I'll be using keen and swell. Watch out. I'm on a roll!

They're called Zayne - black velvet avant garde platform heel wrap sandal. Mouthful! I only half wrapped them on at first, I think the wraps will go nicely halfway up my calf. Now, getting it to STAY there. That's always been my issue with espadrilles. My calves do not like to keep things wrapped on them, rather they like to push things down to my ankles.

Now, I need to find some kind of zany outfit to wear with them. That'd be super swell.

73

2011-08-11T17:47:00.000-07:00

How many ways can I wear sandals right now?

All of them.

Rhinestone studded sneaky snakey sandaley...thing. Also, Pessi is the name of this one. How is THAT a name?

72

2011-08-08T18:23:00.001-07:00

Tested these out for work today. Really wish I had more crop pants or skinny leg pants that were work appropriate. Oh how I dread the new dress code when we move. I love skirts, but they just aren't comfortable for me at work.

These are nice glamed up semi-gladiator sandals. They don't go too far up the ankle, but there are plenty of straps. All zipped in the back though, this gladiator will NOT be fighting any lions today thanks, and needs to easily remove them.

Why is it that so many thong-style sandals feel the need to have a little plastic tube covering the toe-separating part? It always rubs ten times worse than the fabric or faux-leather? Silly thing, if you ask me. But you know what's great? Rhinestones. I am in love with rhinestones on my feetsies right now. A little bit of Rarity in me perhaps?

71

2011-08-06T07:59:00.001-07:00

Gladiator sandal boot...things? This style still confuses me a little. Kind of like peep toe boots. What's up with THOSE? But they're comfy and I adore the buckles and straps. Must be my thing. What does THAT say about me, huh? Still a little tight on the calves, but then again I apparently have mutant legs.

MUTANT LEGS!

70

2011-08-05T16:31:00.000-07:00

Sandals are all I can wear right now, which is convenient because it is summer and BALLS HOT. These were today's pick. Frighteningly comfortable and sparkly to boot. Though that strap at the middle area is completely useless and kind of annoying. Might do a bit of shoe surgery and improve them for next time.

They call them Andrix. Who names shoes anyway? Some of these names are just.....bizarre. Like a cross between a hat full of stripper names, and some kind of new cocktail. Which will assuredly all end up in glitter in places you don't intend and probably a few regrets. Sound like a new Zach Galifianakismovie?

69

2011-08-04T15:45:00.000-07:00

The Shoe Fairy just visited me again, and it was quite delightful. 14 pairs in all, minus the one pair that was back-ordered and not sent. Boo. I just had minor surgery on my left toe earlier this week, so I can't properly wear them all yet, but I can totally try them all on (one foot obv.) and sneak shots in the fading daylight.

And because this happened to be post #69....well I had to use the sexiest of the shoesies. Oh man.

Brianna, just over the knee black leather platform stiletto with star and half-round studs up the back. Laces at the thigh.

Appropriate for #69?

68

2011-05-23T16:52:00.000-07:00

These are pair #124, in the grand scheme of things. Very grand I say.

I had been bludgeoned into getting out with friends for a day of thrift stores. Being broke sucks, esp. when you keep seeing things you want or need. There was a fantastic suitcase, for $15, in great condition and with all the neat inside pockets. I saw this amazing pair of almost mary jane pumps. They fit perfectly, and they were PINK. God I wanted them. But, having $0 to my name, it was not to be.

And then I went back two days later. The lovely suitcase was gone. But these were still there. And now, with a paycheck under my belt, and a little free money, it was obviously meant to be.

A collection

2011-05-23T14:29:00.000-07:00

Shoe Collection.

Got all my shoes down from where they were stored and found a free weekend to go through them. Had a free day, so I sat down with all the bins and boxes and took a shot of every shoe.

Total: 123

Of course I've since added to that, but only by one pair. Won DSW's Free Shoes Friday again last week, so I know there will be some shopping as soon as I get the card. So the total really stands at 124.

(For now)

67

2011-02-07T11:08:00.000-08:00

Won Free Shoesday last week via DSW's facebook. As part of my commitment to work out consistently, I gave up the card to buy sensible workout shoes instead of another pair of heels or boots...

I picked the Nike Air Visi Sleek Running shoe, since it was not only on sale, well rated, and had teal in the design, it also reminded me of Portal in the styling. This shoe is not an experiment! Nerding over. Mostly.

Oh, and I also got the Shoe Lovers Tote, as it was on super sale and super cute. I'd missed out by scant hours on getting the free shirt; sold out, DAMN! But this was way nicer than expected! Snaps and zippered pockets and lining and everything! I was expecting another generic shopping tote bag like you can get at grocery stores. Totally way better than that. Also, $5. WIN.

66

2011-02-04T14:51:00.001-08:00

Three years ago, the first post was made. I started on a lark to see if I could keep up with something for a month, as well as to see if I really could match outfits with shoes for a month straight. I figured, do a month of posts for shoes, and maybe move on to something else. It kinda got a mind of it's own. Three years later, and I'm just over halfway through my collection.

I'll be the first to admit, I haven't really been the best at keeping to the schedule. Camera death, moving three times, and all kinds of other unforeseen things came up. 66 posts in three years isn't the best run, but 66 pairs of shoes IS. And despite the massive backlog of shoes that still haven't been posted yet along with the awesome influx of shoes from my DSW wins and Secret Santa, I have plenty of ammunition left.

So here's to 66 now, and 66 more...and maybe 66 more after that.....and so on.

Today we have these delightful Kafayat peep toe booties in black. Yes, those are sequins covering the entire shoe, and yes, those are some 4" spike heels. (They also have a frighteningly good grip on the soles.

65

2011-01-28T16:24:00.000-08:00

Green shoes! I do have green shoes! These are Tabitha faux suede peep toe pumps.

64

2011-01-17T15:39:00.000-08:00

Used some gift cards I had for DSW today, I needed a pick me up. Wanted a new purse, in a much much bigger size than the last clutch size bag I got. It's got a delightful amount of pockets, way more than I need, but will definitely find a use for. And super cute pumps, on sale!

Poppie Jones Larissa tote and Anne Klein Kalena pumps.

63

2011-01-16T11:59:00.000-08:00

Adventure boots!

62

2011-01-11T07:04:00.001-08:00

These I wore last week at the shop before the weather went nasty. They're Journee ankle booties with a delightful faux fold over cuff and oversize buttons. Grey suede. I'm clearly on a suede kick lately.

61

2011-01-10T09:42:00.000-08:00

I've found it's difficult to keep up with this when I don't have an on-staff photographer on call. Or following me around. Kittens are terrible photographers, and I've run out of self-taken shot ingenuity. So my (few) readers will forgive me if I start forgoing the "whole look" shot in the rest of these posts.

I'm Lazy. With a capital L.

But what I can do is start posting just shots I snap on my way into work every morning. Less planning footwear for a half mile walk from the parking lot, more choosing a new pair to wear on the bus ride to the office instead. And given that I just got 20 new pairs from my Secret Santa over the Christmas break...yeah...

So, for today: the Kamiah fuchsia suede peep-toe ankle booties.

Way warmer than one would expect for peep toes in 30 degree weather.

60

2010-12-14T12:33:00.000-08:00

From Russia, with love. Always Moose and Squirrel. In Soviet Russia, snow falls you? Running out of bad lines here, help me out a little here....c'mon!

The amount of ridiculousity is.... ridiculous. Classy costume jewelry from Halloween. Epically warm coat I've had for years. I think I got it at Wet Seal, before they stopped existing in Richmond. And the monstrous hat. Was my mothers. There are matching gloves somewhere. But it's super warm. Also, makes me feel all.....warm.

Yeah.

Black ankle boots, cute little snaps. Super pointy toes to match the super skinny spike heels. Clearly not the best for wearing in snow. At all. But when one is pretending to be a fancy schmancy Mad Russian.

White Russian? Get me some vodka, STAT!

59

2010-10-29T14:39:00.000-07:00

I've been lax in updating, shame on me. I have SUCH a backlog of new shoes from DSW, it's not even funny. Three new pairs coming in Monday, as well. Ahhhhh! I swear, I need a photographer on call, or following me around. I can only do self-shots so well.

Anyway, today I dressed up a little for work, seeing as it's the Friday before Halloween and one can't very well dress up for Halloween AFTER the fact. So today it was. Also didn't help that I as up at 6 because I couldn't sleep, so I laid in bed thinking about clothes.

Like you do.

Ergo, this pin-up inspired look. Worn it once or twice for parties or theme nights. And what's better, it's 90% thrift store! Got the top at my fav. Goodwill, while the skirt and shoes were found at Diversity Thrift for pennies. The hose, which are ADORABLE, were a gift from a friend who loves unusual tights and patterns. The flowers in my hair, may or may not be visible here, were From the Dollar Store. I'm getting better at making killer outfits for under $10. Go me!

P.S. Thank you MuffinMama for reminding me that I needed to post, I've gotten lax.

2010-09-22T13:06:00.001-07:00

Shit Dorothy,I ain't in Kansas anymore.

Well, technically I've never been to Kansas. Or west of the Mississippi. Pure technicalities.

Red silk cami with sequined trim (It's like a circus!) that I got at the thrift store. From Express, no less. And my new skinny jeans I got for free from The Gap. I'm good at free things like that.

And my new favorites: red slippers! Ok, flats. Again with the technicalities. Like the zebra print flats I have, and the silver ones too. Oh, and the black peep-toe pumps too. I think I might have a slight addiction to Rocket Dog. Specificaly: their knotted flats.

God, I love red shoes.

57

2010-09-21T15:41:00.000-07:00

Little black dress, sunglasses someone left at my house, and a really hot day. I park downtown behind the train station now. So I guess you're going to have to...track me down.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

(ending the really bad CSI: Miami joke here)

Finally got those Madden Girl zebra pumps that have been all over DSW's ads for the last month or so. Finally! 4.5 inch stacked heels, a slight platform at the front. Peep toe, with dark dark red laces at the back of the heel. And it's some of the smoothest silk you've never touched.

56

2010-07-07T17:00:00.000-07:00

Oh man, now that I see the pics from this day...I look tired. We will ignore this. Completely.

White dress shirt via friendly hand-me-downs. Tank top of generic origin. Totally adorable skirt from the best Goodwill ever. Everyone has one thrift store that they always have good luck with. Mine happens to be farther in the West End with some nice drop-offs. Pretty sure Target offloads their unsold/returned goods. P.S. wonderful source for bathing suits if you don't mind them mismatching a little.

Sarasota Wedge boots by Aerosole, black. Yes, suede. Yes, THAT delicious. Knee boots, buckles and top-stitching oh my! Low heel, which is comfy for work and long term wear. Not that I need it, but there's a second zip at the back that gives you another inch in the upper calf. I'd rather have the inch at the lower calf versus higher calf. Still fantastic. Again, not-so-ill-gotten-gains from DSW and Free Shoes Friday.

55

2010-07-07T16:43:00.000-07:00

Working to distraction. Distracted enough to forget to start downloading pics from my camera. And then posting them. Smart move, 'eh?

Good news is, got a job and an apartment and a cat who came with a ridiculous amount of furniture. Bonus! Also a not so subtle way to pimp out said cat's blog, The Daily Whaaaaaat!?

Ode to Niecey Nash ensemble, was wearing it around the time that Nicey was knocked off of Dancing with the Stars. Ergo the big-ass-flower in my hair. The top I got in NYC a few years ago. White crop chinos I got at Old Navy (also a few years ago, on sale even!)

But the shoes! Oh the shoes are the topper. See, DSW.com has Twitter. (@dswshoelovers) And this twitter does a thing called Free Shoes Friday. First 10 to answer the question correctly at noon every Friday (also a follower) gets a $75 gift card. These I got with my first win. Yes, I said first win, we will not count how many times I've managed to win, that would be gloating.

These are the ImpoVigo Wedge Sandal in turquoise. They're only available in pink and black now, I checked. I adore the beading and details on the front. The stacked heel is slim and smooth, not as clunky as you might expect. They're ridiculously comfortable, wearable for my walk into work even.

54

2010-04-28T13:05:00.000-07:00

Earlier this month I was able to get a friend of mine to fix a few things on my car that were on their last legs. Serpentine belt, front disc brakes, and most importantly, rear drum brakes.

Technically brake shoes. Ergo, new shoes. For my car. Totally counts, yes?

(Pardon the lack of sassy girl, I was not really...dressed up for car-working-on that day. Some things need not be seen.)

53

2010-03-10T14:47:00.001-08:00

Shades of grey.

Finally a pair of shoes that I can wear properly with my charcoal sweater. It's my favorite warm weather top, and it's starting to lose some of its softness. Sad faces all around. Grey striped tank underneath, and the classy black pants I got for work at KD before that went terribly wrong. They are finally getting a proper use now.

Anne Michelle Mayhem peep-toe pumps in pewter. Normally I wouldn't go for something with too many sequins on them. (Unless I was going for the Ruby Slipper look, and until they make them in my size and not looking like stripper shoes, I will wait) But the silver sequins and bows on this were just right. Small and subtle, just the right amount of shine and sparkle. Right?

52

2010-03-01T10:36:00.000-08:00

*** Birthday Special! ***

I didn't think I had any ammunition left to post on my birthday (which was yesterday, btw) but I DID! Camille got me these ADORABLE duckie slippers. They're wearing red/black checkered hats. I will call them Canadian hats because the Olympics just ended and 'cuz I say so.

As you can see, they are in good company. I'm watching Haele while Leah's at work and Greg & Steve go to a movie. KIDS DAY IN! Also, matching ponytails. We will pretend the pic is in focus, taking this from the floor, with a wiggling little girl attached to ones head makes things...fun.

Adding one more, since those last two don't really show the pajamas. Ya know... at all.

Duckie pajamas, made them a while ago for Pajama Night at Fallout. We already know about me and ducks. Flannel short snorts and a hand-stitched rib knit top. Adorable duckie applique on the back.
And yes, I did make a matching pair of mini pajamas for my small stuffed duck.

51

2010-02-27T08:41:00.000-08:00

I know it's a little late for the snow, but guess who never seems to have the proper foot attire on hand when the snowflakes start to fall? Yeah, this chick.

And then we got a good 3 foot of SURPRISE snow.

Snow boots. They finally meet the snow. Finally

We will pretend that I did not wait until it was halfway melted away to take pictures. We will also pretend it's not a silly picture of me PRETENDING to be stuck in the snow.

IMAGINE IT FOR YOURSELF!

50

2010-02-26T06:50:00.000-08:00

A little vintage maybe?

Ok, only the hat. My grandmothers, and I have been struggling to find something appropriately classy and brown to wear with it. Clearly I have too much black clothing, in danger of becoming Abby. Not that that's a bad thing mind you. So the rest is a dress I made, cuz' dammit why not. Also wearing a pair of her earrings which may or may not be vintage.

Took advantage of The Aunt's classy dressing table and accessories. Love the cut glass perfume bottle. We will pretend it has something in it other than air. As you can see, there's some nice leg there. Wearing those sassy french heel back seam silk stockings that someone got me. The shoes themselves were another thrift store find. For once a pair that fits perfectly and isn't in deplorable condition! Helps that they're completely lace up, are incredibly comfortable, and are quite likely to hit you on the fingers with a ruler if you don't stop passing notes in class. Seriously.

Now, where did that set of hat pins go?

49

2010-02-25T07:37:00.000-08:00

Vintage Barbie wishes she could be out from under the glass with me. Thrifted silk top, and the crop jeans I can still just barely fit. I swear, they used to be black. Really.

Christian Siriano strappy sandal. I'm in love with the zipper here. And those heels? (3.5') Feels like I'm walking on pyramids.

48

2010-02-24T07:19:00.000-08:00

Yes, that shirt DOES say "I feel a sin coming on". A terribly fitting Christmas gift from Miss Danitra. Well played madam, well played.

Lace-up Airwalk kicks that take forever to lace up even if they have an easy access zip in the back. You gotta get all those laces flat and pretty and just right before you can even consider being seen.

(Which is why I'm still lounging in bed)

47

2010-02-23T21:20:00.000-08:00

Yes, yes, I know. I've used this dress before. Don't care. The shoes are what's important here.

Very important shoes.

Alice + Olivia 4.5" pumps. Stone-washed denim ankle wrap with crazy buckles. The zip has a wacky little metal dangle.

46

2009-11-10T15:42:00.000-08:00

How in the world did I forget to post this one?! I mean, for reals.

I made Ayane's Peri bathing suit from DOA Beach Volleyball 2. Way back last summer. I thought I'd posted them then, but apparently I forgot. Go me. Better late than never though.

The shoes were something I picked up to go with the pinstripe white pants and vest set I wore for another post. Well, the pants. I wanted something in white with a relatively low heel. Two years after getting them i realize they are nearly identical to one of the shoes you can buy in the game.

Again, go me.

2009-10-31T13:10:00.000-07:00

Special Halloween Edition! Bonus pictures!

It is a costume of opportunity. One of the few wigs I hadn't left in storage was this one, which has been dubbed my Joan Jett wig. I ran out of half-ass ideas for a costume, and then the wig reminded me of its presence. Ergo, Joan Jett for Halloween!

I dug through what I had on hand to throw this together. A bunch of random jewelry, the top half of my latest bathing suit whose bottom is mysteriously missing. The pants I got a while ago when I thought I was going to be working at KD in the costume shop. Which turned into a sweat shop, so they were forgotten. I know, me, black pants, forgotten? I'm actually really happy with the makeup for this, though it's definitely not everyday wear. But fun, yes?

The shoes are a bit of a sad story though. I found them in pristine condition for $3 at a thrift store. Super comfy and just the right amount of ass-kickery balanced with a little bit of stacked heel. Within a week of finding them, the seam on the right ankle (inside, next to the zipper) totally busted., Ripped the faux-leather and all. Not really a fixable. But if I can't wear them for day-to-day-wear, I will damn well get at least this post from them Dammit.

We will pretend that the guitar is not a Rock Band guitar, and that the tattoo on my chest is not done with sharpie.

This last shot is for Camille. You know why.

44

2009-10-28T14:26:00.000-07:00

The poor pumpkin never had a chance. I had a knife and a scoop and I was in a fetish club. There was no hope. But at least the poor little guy got a parting shot with his face. Clearly traumatized by his fate, he screams to all: "Why would you DO such a thing?!"

New vest I found at Target today. I've been looking for I don't even know how long for a cute little vest like this for a) a reasonable price b) the right size and c) the right cut. Quite happy to finally find one that fits all three quota. And it makes me feel good that it's a XS. The rest of the outfit are things I've had (and occasionally posted) for a while. Kind of hard to see is that ridiculously magenta pink purse. It was on clearance and it was huge and pink and it cried for my love. There was no way to say no.

The shoes were also clearance finds. Gladiator style sandals, with only a tiny slip of a heel. The shiny bits are more of a pewter than a super shiny silver. I like that. Classy.

43

2009-10-21T22:20:00.000-07:00

Happy fall, yo. It's effin' cold.

Having come down to RIchmond to help a buddy out with some organizin', I fell upon bad foot times. As I was walking to his place before work, enjoying the lovely day (and it was GORGEOUS) I realized that my silver flats were not the best walking paterial for a good mile stroll through the city. I have blisters . We will not speak of the size of oddly crescent moon like shape. But my heels hurt. So to alleviate the pain the feet were carefully bandaged, and a way to walk without hurting the heels was found.

At Target.

The whole outfit was coincidentally perfect for the boots. My favorite skinny jeans and tank top are classics. The jacket I found at a thrift store for like $2. Don't care if it's too small, I don't need to button that thing. The shoes themselves are a just-above-the-ankle boot, faux antique buttons all up the outside. Surprisingly tall stacked heel. Totally the sassy librarian boots that I will be wearing with a really cute long tight skirt sometime. Brown, for a change. I Usually gfo for black, but these were so cute...and well...yeah.

Pumpkin that I went home with not pictured...

42

2009-10-05T20:13:00.000-07:00

New city, less stuff, more stress. Going out with the guys for Oktoberfest at the MD Renaissance Festival was helpful. Good times all around.

Clearly.

Of course there was beer (or in my case a cider/meade blend called a beesting. Far more pleasant than the namesake. Good shows, good company, great weather. Fantastic views. I found a rather conveniently placed leather-clad man-at-arms. Armed man-at-arms. Have I mentioned I like leather?

Inherited these from a friend who will HOPEFULLY recognize them. Red and black leather, nine shiny buttons. I'm pretty sure she got them from Catskill Mountain Moccasins. It was a shame to see such lovelyness in a yard sale. SHAME ON YOU CANDICE! They are now well loved, if a little dusty from yesterday. Someday I would like to get a second pair, made proper for my feet. Someday. When I have a few hundred bucks to throw around.

Back from hiatus for a moment. Haven't added much lately, but these came in just in time for a classy party. My friend turned 25, and decided to have a wonderful theme party. Speakeasy, darling. So I got to get all dolled up. Havent The lovely dress is vintage from a great aunt of mine, the hat and mink (yes, mink) are my grandmother's. Yes, it's three mink bodies biting each others butts. No, I don't feel bad about wearing fur. It is an hairloom, and they were dead long ago. Their names are Eeney, Meeney, and Miney. The sweet necklace was another friends grandmothers. (something about relations here...)

The shoes are not vintage, but totally look it. Amy's grandmother (again?) had a pair of spanich lace heels she got in the 40's. Amy has them now and I wanted something similar. And when She linked me to a pair online, I had to have them. Peep toes and 3.5" heels. The lace is adorable and there is a small bow on the toe strap.

You know, I could wax satirical about lack of clothing and comfy beds and silky lingere. I could. But I'm not gonna. We both know what this post is all about.
Betsey Johnson special edition Layla B-day pumps. Swarovski and pearl detail, screw heel, pleated satin with glitter mesh overlay. I think the shoe speak for themselves.

Christmas came early this year. More on that in a moment. The outfit is my driving outfit. It's what I wear when I go driving. Which I can't right now. So I wear the clothes and pretend. Its a nice sensation. My favorite black skinny jeans with the fur lined biker jacket. And some sexy underwear. That's it.

Christmas came, like I said, early. It came in a pretty pink box with leopard print paper. Black Betsey Johnson peep-toe pumps with gold studs on the bow. Leather. Killer doorstop-looking heels.

They also came with a pair of leather driving gloves with little rivets that match my jacket. And bows. The bows are killer.

...sometimes, I put the gloves in my face and inhale the smell of leather.....is that wrong?

Halloween. I could have cone all wacky with some crazy costume, but I've been rather busy and stressed lately. So I wore my classic fail-proof fall-back costume. Years and years ago (we're talking early 70's here) my mother was at school in Europe. When she was in Austria, she got herself a dirndl. I think she got my aunt one too. And now I have it. It's survived many a Halloween before, when I just couldn't come up with anything good. But it fits me perfectly, and it DOES look good. Apparently though I haven't work it recently enough for my friends to remember.

Well, now you can remember!

I found I didn't have anything terribly authentic or apropriate for a Heidi/Swiss Miss look. So I went with the vague idea of the VonTrap family, and pulled out a pair of brown ballet flats. At one point they had silly elastic straps across the front, and might have been black. I'm pretty sure they were for another costume at some point. But what I love about them is that they're terribly well soled and are quite comfortable.

And yes, I finally DID get some Trick-or-treaters this year.

2008-10-31T12:22:00.000-07:00

Special delivery from Ben. Who needs a fantastic outfit with stunning pumps like these?

2008-10-29T06:51:00.000-07:00

Costume comission for a friend. Hapily enough, she and I are the same size, so I can test the fit on me. And it just happens that since all the students wear the same costume, and the character's best friend has hair that matches a wig I have....I totally am cosplaying the bestfriend before I deliver the ensemble.

White dress shirt with oversize cuffs and collar. Pleated skirt and jacket in stretch twill. The jacket is a little ridiculous. Stud details, picky rosebud buttons that DO NOTHING, odd collar that is a creation of the imagination, a large amount of white piping. I do love the studs though, they're quite perfect.

I got these years ago for another costume, but they seemed right for this. They're this weird color between brown and red. Next to a brown shoe they look red, next to a red shoe they look brown. But they ARE really comfortable. Es muy importante.

2008-10-24T16:23:00.001-07:00

Domestic diva? I'll go with that, yeah.Like Martha Stewart, only not as stuffy. The shit I do is actually useful. I'm stealing Vintage Hat Friday for one week. Teal dress circa '53, hat circa '45. It's the ridiculous feather that does it for me. Hat was my grandmothers I think, and the dress belonged to an old family friend whose collection of old formal and cocktail dresses I aquired years ago.

Shoes were a lovely find at the Goodwill. A little roomy since they're a wide, and I am not. But I admit I couldn't say no, they were so damned cute.

2008-10-15T05:31:00.001-07:00

I was going to have coherent thoughts and words and the like for his post, but I seem to have lost them all.
Enjoy.

Day 33

2008-10-09T07:39:00.000-07:00

Moving on.

Did I mention I have a penchant for back and white? No? Well, I have a penchant for black and white. Now you know.

This is my graduation dress. I made it. It's hot. And makes me look even hotter. Yes, I DID wear something under my graduation robes. I also didn't cut my nice robes up to make them less boxy, that's just rude. But I didn't have the good shoes for graduation. I borrowed a similar pair from a friend's mother years ago. (Why did said mother have such sexy hoochie shoes? I'm not sure, but I don't think I want to think about her love life. I have a blinder for friends mothers and sex.) I also wore a bra at graduation so there wasn't gratuitous nippleage.

I have no words for the hotness of these shoes.

P.S. My flowers are monstrous and awesome.

Day 32

2008-08-31T06:31:00.000-07:00

Yes, there is a 32nd day. I was going to do a month's worth only, but I still have so many shoes left to do, I think I'll keep going. More come in, more get posted. ;)

Today is a lazy Sunday and I make with the lazy Sunday posting. I made the clothes, ergo why they are so comfy. Crossbones baby doll dress (hand sewn) and the super-pants. Pretty much my at-home uniform now. I need to make another tank dress soon, this one is taking a beating.

Ballet flats. I have a few. I don't wear these often because the back tends to rub too much if I wear them for longer than a few hours. So they are relegated to quick trips to the store and the like. But they ARE adorable, yes?

Day 31

2008-08-30T15:44:00.000-07:00

Rock Band. Is dangerous. See, they seem to have stolen a pair of my shoes from me. Literally. So this super-fantastic post on a nice quiet saturday is brought to you with EXTRA pictures! Like so many others, I was able to create a me in there that was perfectly me, down to the ink and the shoes. But it's the shoes that are important you know.

Jacket via Hot Topic, it's my biking jacket. The hat survived a trip to Guatemala and back. The jeans, as have been seen before, are just barely holding onto lie. As it is the left thigh seam is starting to rip. Psh. Ripped jeans are totally back, right?

Don't laugh. Pink. I know, surprise surprise. Got 'em at Payless ages ago during a sale. Certain persons i was ascociating with were pissed that didnt have them in his size. Wah. This was back before J-Lo started/revived the idea of sneaker styled pumps/boots. Totally in before J-Lo.

Also, PINK!

Now for reference, the Rock Band character I made, along with the tattoos I gave her painstakingly to match me as much as I could:

Day 30

2008-08-29T12:49:00.000-07:00

Ridiculous dress! Well, no really, but the fabric is. Not sure WHY I made it. But I found the fabric in the free-stuff pile in the fashion dept a year ago. It's fantastically gaudy. It's got mirror sequins all over it. So my answer? Make something. So I made this....thing....dress....dealie. Lined in silk, almost completely hand sewn. The waist band was the most expensive art, bridal beading at $10 a yard, even on sale. But I really like that line on my back.

Backs are sexy.

Shoes are from the stripper collection. a size to small, but I can get around. Like I said, Ellie's tend to run smaller. I call them my Seuss shoes because the ankle straps bounce like Seussian springs.

Sproing?

Day 29

2008-08-28T09:09:00.000-07:00

You know how sometimes you just have to be silly and ridiculous? Yeah. I don't remember WHY I got these shoes. Or this bathing suit. OR that scarf. But I did. Because it was shiny? I'll go with shiny, yeah. Not a word about mixing silver and gold. We shall call it some kind of bizarre Barbarella get-up.
Actually, I think I got these the night of the Sexy Party mentioned in the previous post. We took a trip toPriscilla's and these were on sale. They're at least 5 inches tall, and make me near enough to 6 foot that I have to giggle. I'm not sure if I can call them gladiator boots with heels like that, but with those straps and shin guard I guess I must.

Day 28

2008-08-27T09:55:00.000-07:00

I'm cheating. I didn't take this today. Don't tell, kay? This is a little getup I wore for one of my ladies-only Sexy Parties. Lingerie, cake, girls....and Stewie. You know how it goes. From back when I was living on Grace, and had JUST gotten the fantastic red couch that is starting to pop its springs. Sad face. The neat thing about THIS skirt is that the two rows up the front of that super shiny vinyl are actual snaps, not decoration, so I can theoretically rip the whole thing off in like a second or something. Also, it's got pockets. I know, novel idea, skirt with pockets. I am totally OK with thisPardon the crappy detail, it's the only good shot I have and I'm not feeling up to squeezing into them at the moment. Ellie's run notoriously small on their sizes, really. I wear a 8.5, but in Elle I almost have to get a 9.5. It's silly. Boots, yes. Irwin and I actually got matching boots on Ebay when we were living together. OK, I bought them, but she got her pair for some movie nonsense. I got 'em 'cuz they looked neat. 5 inch platforms, red flames on toe and heel. Lace up front. Yeah, you can't say no.

Day 27

2008-08-26T05:33:00.000-07:00

More vintage. More girly poof. More ohmygodican'tbreathewhyisthiswaistsotiny.... Yeah. This one is a fantastic cocktail dress in black and white (obv). The waist area is black velvet, the rest is a ridiculous amount of gathered tulle. What was it with designers in the 50's and tulle. Half the dresses I have from then are tulle frothing concoctions...like a ver stiff and sheer merangue pie.

....pie..
So because this is dress is totally my "ballet dress" (I blame Rodin, I grew up with this statue in the house....) I paired it with my simpleset of ballet flats.

Day 26

2008-08-25T08:03:00.000-07:00

Be your steady? Of course! I love me some retro dresses. This one I acquire from a family friend who was moving to an assisted living home. Since she'd shown me her entire collection, I knew about all the good stuff. So when the day of the auction came and we got to the giant pile of clothes no one wanted I got the whole shebang (8 boxes) for $2. What they didn't know was that all the formal and cocktail dresses from the 40's and 50's were in the bottom of the pile. Clearly I won. It's been beaten up and has some water stains from poor storage, but I'm (still) in the process of fixing it. Women then had ridiculously tiny waists. I just BARELY fit it. But beaded silk satin.....mmmmmm....

Paired with a sweet little pair of slingback clear heels I got for Senior Prom. I call them my Cinderella shoes. Aside formthe fact that they're clear, obviously, they come off before the night's dancing is done, and I usualy lose onr for a few weeks after.

Day 25

2008-08-24T13:22:00.000-07:00

This is a costume I made AGES ago for a Halloween party at a friends house. I don't remember much of the party, but I DO remember that I left with the Marlboro man and....you may make all kinds of assumptions and lewd jokes now. But really....wouldn't you have taken me home too?
These poor little heels I got even LONGER ago when I was still in middle school I think. The straps fell apart so I traded in ribbons which are holding up. They're real pretty to look at but not terribly easy to walk in. But that's the point, right?

Day 24

2008-07-28T11:11:00.001-07:00

Trying to even the number of white to black shoes in my closet. I know they're hard to keep clean, but they DO look fantastic! O'Neil board shorts, and the shirt that I have been told makes my boobs look like Snoopy. You can't see it at this angle but I can see it sometimes.

New super-buckley white patent calf boots. Pointy as hell and effin' fantastic. <3

Day 23

2008-07-23T13:53:00.000-07:00

I have nice office-wear, I swear! This is not really it. Ok, the pants maybe. The top? WAY too see-thru. But of all the clothes I own, this is the whitest white outfit I have. Also, pants are pinstripe. That's hot. You know it is, don't deny it.

Brand spanking new shoes via Ben. Naughty Monkey's Walk the Talk. White and pink. Do so love them. Totally office shoes that are just a little bit skanky, but not too much. I like to keep it classy you know.

Day 22

2008-07-21T11:35:00.001-07:00

As if I needed a ladder. Really now, it was just a little unnecessary. But awesome. This is the ensemble I wore out to a RLL show last month. It was hot as hell. Me and the weather, I mean. Plaid skirt and cross-tied bikini top by me, the rest was bought. I could say something here about Hello Kitty underwear, but I won't. Because that's just overkill, right?

Right?

Giant stompy goth boots by Demonia. Somehow my Aunt Tish found her way to my Shoe List and got them for me for Christmas last year It was unexpected and awesome at the same time. And yes, they DO make me an even 6 foot.

Todays photos brought to you via Will Sims.

Day 21

2008-07-01T16:29:00.000-07:00

After a lengthy week(end) I return home with spoils. my friend Amy gave me this fantastic red dress, and Candice is responsible for the shoes. It gives me the opportunity to go a little glamorous. And to pretend there isn't a giant mess of birdseed on my porch. Thanks finches!

"Makes my feet hurt" my ass, these are pretty damn comfy for heels. And tame too Well, for me that is.
Also, you might have noticed: new haircut. Bangs! My mother never let me have them past the age of 4, she convinced me that I had these apocalyptic-end-of-humanity magnitude cowlicks. But really, its only a small one, not two. And I like bangs. They are hot.

Day 20

2008-06-12T16:36:00.000-07:00

We went a little bit classic today. Just wait, I'll be waving that scarf for the drag race soon enough. Just go with it, ok? Skinny jeans, that comfy tank top, and my sassy motorcycle jacket. The car? Some neighbor's car that never moves. Which is good when one is taking pictures. Yes it is.

The shoes are an AMAZING pair of polka dot pumps that Ben got me. Yes, those heels are 5 inches. Peep toes with bows. And there's a FANTASTIC detail on the heel, a little jeweled key charm hanging off the back of both. Details?
And for added interest and amusement, I got fans today. Really. The neighborhood kids apparently need a lot of entertainment or are really bored. Because some chick taking pictures outside is PRIME. See? Fun times.

Day 19

2008-06-10T19:53:00.000-07:00

Every girl needs a LBD. Little black dress. This is one of my two favorites. The other is reserved for later. A LBD needs no introduction. It just is.

Paired with my fantabulous new pair of leopard print satin pumps. I have been lusting over this style for I don't even know how long. I would post the color pics, but the B&W just look so goddamn hot.

Day 18

2008-06-08T17:59:00.000-07:00

It's cosplay season. Bite me. Patterned and stitched up Mitsuki (from The World Ends With You) all in a weekend. Dress shirt with ruffles, nice thin cotton. The dress material was thicker, of unknown origin. Fabric has a tendency to just...appear in my house. Really. More ruffles. The wig needs some love. But overall I'm terribly pleased

Paired, as is apropriate for a very black and whie outfit, my famous white pumps. Not as sassy as the new pink ones, but when paired with the right stockings, just as fantastic.

Day 17

2008-06-04T11:20:00.000-07:00

I like presents. I like them a lot. Especially when the complete a costume I'm making. Yes, another costume. I'm a fucking machine. Fitted suit jacket, 100% wool, soft as a baby duck. Double layer thin rib jersey mini skirt. April May from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
Mmmm...... pink. Pink pumps. All kinds of pointy. Enough said.

Day 16

2008-06-02T10:43:00.000-07:00

Pin-up again? Shut your bitch mouth, you like pin-up. The stocking half of someones present came today. I had to promptly prance around the house in it. You know how it is. Black and pink lace garter belt, Dita french heel stockings. I have a large amount of black underwears, so we won't even go there. I think I'm racked enough to pull off the look, yeah?
And the shoes are a one of my favorites. I begged my aunt to get them for me on some shopping trip. It was these or a pair of pirate ballet flats. These won. Slingback peep toe pumps. Shiny patent.

Day 15

2008-05-29T10:45:00.000-07:00

P.S. I cosplay. I know, big surprise. But my favorite costume was not quite complete until I had the proper boots. This was a problem, they're very particular. And I finally found them, and they were out of stock. For six months. And then a year. But they were in at the beginning of the month and Ben got them for me for birthday/graduation. And they came in today. I am a pleased little puppy.
Yes, that's a wig. No, my hair could never stay that color. Yes, those are my other shoes in the background. No, that's not all of them. Faye was made of a nice stretch vinyl, very suedey, though it likes to flake a little. But the boots.

Oh yes, boots. Steve Madden Applegates. Soft matte leather in a more-taupe-than-cream color. They smell fantastic. P.S.S. I love the smell of new leather.

Day 14

2008-05-27T18:56:00.000-07:00

Casual today please. Too much high maintenance stuff this week. Today we have my comfiest pair of crop cargo pants, complete with the most missing buttons one might possibly have on one pair of pants. Standard tank. I accessorized though. Giant-ass lacquer belt buckle, that turquoise necklace I found last week in a box, and the silly emo plastic bangles that entertain me so much.

And The Hat. The one that sent to Guatemala and back and kept my face from being too burned in the thin air. Closer to the clouds means closer to the sun kids! Like I said, casual. Black flip flips. No heels, no boots, nothing fancy. But whateber they made 'em out of, it's magic. they're soft and suedey and durable. And did I mention comfy? Yeah, that too.

Lucky 13

2008-05-26T16:50:00.000-07:00

I was feeling down this week until a friend came by and took me for a ride. And we took the bike out too. You see what I did there? Funny, yeah? Same western style shirt that I wear a lot, and my favorite crop jeans. You can't see the awesometastic pirate knee socks under there, trust me, they're cute as hell.

Boots today. You know how your mother says that she doesn't have a favorite child? She lied. I'd like to say I love all my shoes equally, but I can't lie. These are really my favorites. Leather. Buckles. Sassy as hell. I wear them to concerts and shows. They're my show boots. I show off in them. The hallways part like the red sea when I come clicking through. I fuckin' rock.

Bitches.

Day 12

2008-05-23T11:54:00.000-07:00

Oh hey there, its summer. I needed a new bathing suit. But I didn't really feel like buying one, plus I'm broke as hell. So what do we do? Make one, obviously. I'm pleased with the top. The bottoms are a tad tight on the hips. I think I have enough of the fabric left to do a pair of boyshorts.
And of course, the shoes. What is it with Target and cute shoes? I've had these for a while, I usually wear them when cleaning house. I don't know why, cleaning house screams stacked heels to me. These are one of the few pairs of shoes I have that are not only white, but also have NO black on them!

Day 11

2008-05-22T09:43:00.000-07:00

A little something from the Pirate collection. Hoodie dress!

I made it myself you know. Thermal pirate print and black jersey. There's a sweet skull and crossbones appliqued on the back. It's super comfy.I got these babeies after Halloween last year. Referee style ankle boots, lace up only, no zips here. They're actually quite comfortable for their 4" height.

Day 10

2008-05-21T14:36:00.000-07:00

Closet cosplay. Who knew. It's not a generic schoolgirl, I swear. It's Kagura Tennozou, from Speed Grapher. Really. Also a good excuse to wear that pleated skirt and jacket set I got ages ago. Gosh it's short...

Shoes are new today, I was a bad girl. Who needs to eat when there are cute shoes?! Honestly! Super shiny black patent anklets, nice little lace up fronts. There's some saddle-shoe style stitching and piecing on the sides that you can't see too well. The heels are a demure 3.5". Demure for me that is.

Day 9

2008-05-15T21:49:00.000-07:00

Just a little pinup something.

Scandalous VS underwear. Black patent and lace with those adorable little buckles. I made a promise to take pics with these stockings and shoes, I finally got around to fulfilling that one. I've a thing for the Cuban heeled back seamed stockings. I think I need more/better garter belts though. Shoes! Black and red patent peep toe pumps. so cute.

Fast forward to a day 8...months later

2008-05-15T17:43:00.000-07:00

I got distracted with classes and graduating and all kinds of life stuff. Forgiveness, I beg for it. Here is me trying to get back on schedule...ish. SO now I bring you....a sort of captain. We are at ease, the mutiny has subsided and the natives quelled. We are pleased. (Nevermind that the natives are the neighborhood children, and are all at dinner while I steal the playground equipment. Shhhhhhh!)

Pirate boots! Red laces this time. (though I do have pink, purple, and black as well) The outfit is MINE. By which I mean I made it. Slightly skanky, but that's the fun part, yeah? Plaid tiered skirt with a glittered lace top emblazoned with skull and crossbones. The bikini top is this fantastic shiny swim wear stuff that looks like liquid night or something.

Shoes 7

2008-02-12T14:13:00.001-08:00

Sick day. And the weather is cooperating. Or making it worse. I don't know. It's gloomy and rainy, and I feel like death. But at least I'm comfy.

Duckie slippers.

(Domokun tank + bestest brown PJ pants) x (me+ bed) = happy nap.

Short and sweet. That's it.

Shoes 6

2008-02-11T10:26:00.000-08:00

It's Monday again. Joy of joys. But, despite the freaking cold wind we got going on today, it's absolutely gorgeous out. Bright sun shining, all that nonsense. So since it's all pretty and natural out, I went for a more neutral color palette today. Also, I haven't worn these boots in ages.

Leather calf boots, camel suede with a really soft fringe.

This was a whole outfit of bringing back stuff I haven't worn in a while. White jeans with fantastic cream and tan top-stitching of flame-shape dealies. Tight as hell, but they DO make my ass look amazing. And that is always very important, you know. Blue-black leather belt with fantastic lacquer buckle. Birdcage print tan tank, and a super warm cream Baby Phat zip sweater.

2008-02-11T10:02:00.000-08:00

Weekend Edition!

We went out with the intention of going to Target and back home. With all the insanity that is on par with our outings, the small trip ended up being a string of frustrations and silly inside jokes that made sales people wince. So it began with Target. Then Radio Shack. Then Costco. Then Circuit City.

So there's a new Target near our place, and like most new Targets, they have big balls. No really. Giant red balls. Not for snacking on though. Great for sitting on instead.

That being said, I actually DID manage to make a cute outfit. Crop jeans again, with the teal scoop shirt and my fluffy motorcycle jacket. Also featuring a classy 80's inspired pair of pointy toes stilettos. Black and silver. Hot.

2008-02-08T14:22:00.001-08:00

We are skipping Thursday. The selection was less than impressive. I am editing. Friday is day four. I have the time bendy powers, you know. Like Bender, only better.

So, on to Friday.

Black Kenneth Cole's, got them on a NYC rip two years back.

You could call this the "Why, yes, yes I do have a serger!" outfit. Favorite skinny black jeans and a black tank top. The aqua mesh top I made myself, thank you very much. It's just absurdly bright enough to work.

Shoes 3

2008-02-08T14:09:00.000-08:00

A victorious return! (tm)

This is in fact, despite being posted on Friday, actually Wednesday's shoes. The aforementioned camera debacle has been alleviated, and the royal we are pleased with the outcome.

I admit, they are Wal-Mart boots. But they're kick-ass, yes?

Skinny black jeans and the confusion top. I've ha it for years. every time I wear it at least one person has to look at it real hard to figure out what's going on. Basic black tank sewn to a mesh racer front/back tank. Looks like two, is actually only one. I miss Wet Seal, they don't live in VA anymore

Shoes....?

2008-02-07T14:47:00.000-08:00

We're at a standstsill. We are not pleased. We are also not quite sure why we're speaking of ourselves in the royal we.

Yesterday, as I was finagling some sweet shots in an alley, my sweet little camera decided to become a paperweight. Why the change in professions, I do not know, but I'm not pleased. Pretty much dead. The lens is refusing to retract. Can't turn it on or off, or get the pictures I DID take off.

Poop.

So while I wait for a replacement, you get a placeholder. Think of it as me searching in vain for my sanity and/or a new camera.

Ballet flats, crop jeans, pink/salmon scoop neck long sleeve tee. ~~Large~~ ~~Giant~~ ~~Ginormous~~ MONSTOROUS bin of cat toys at Ikea.

Priceless.

2008-02-05T12:09:00.000-08:00

Today I wanted something more comfy, as I would be doing a great deal of walking between classes. I want to, but I just can't wear heels on the mass-walking days. Silly. Eventally I'm sure I'll wear ballet flats and carry the cute shoes in my purse. And I swear I'm not going to keep wearing only pink. I DO have other colors. Continuing on...

Day two:

Super comfy pink and white sneakers. (I really like that shot.)

Combined with a pair of black cords with pink stitching. Sweet little sequined pink tank under a stretched out long sleeve white shirt. There was a cap on my head too, but you don't get to see that. Also wearing the most adorable pink and orange argyle socks my sister got me for Christmas. Topping it off, but not pictured here, was the ridiculously huge pirate belt I got ages ago. Just sparkly and silly enough to work.

It was a very playground feeling ensemble. So I ran over to the neighborhood playground after class to kid around. School wasn't out so the whole thing was MINE. And I can say, honestly, my neighborhood has the most awesome playground.

I decided that my first Month of challenge would be something easy. Something I have a shit-ton of. Something fun. Shoes.

I have lots of them, and in all manner of styles and colors. I'm a shoe-a-holic. And as I was getting complimented repeatedly on my cute pumps this morning, I thought to myself: "SELF! You really ought to try wearing a different pair of shoes every day this month! You have enough!" And I had to agree with myself. Because I do, and it is a worthy thing to do. Bringing shoe-love and pretty to the campus.

SO...today:

My sweet little pink and black spectator pumps.

I paired them with my absolute favorite pair of crop skinny jeans, the ones with the zip that make both my ass and my calves look amazing. Black bra and barely covering plaid top I got at H&M a while back. It's got the cutest little snaps and fits me like a second skin. Also, pink. Love the pink. The wallet chains added a little sparkle.

It's nice and warm today, so I could actually ot bother wearing a jacket. I like that.
