Day 27

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Day 21

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.
