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?

*** 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.

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!

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?

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.

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)

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.
