Peace and Love
This is an oldie but a goodie. I love this look.
Turtle neck from Uniqlo
Skirt from Kate Spade: Saturday
Tights from Target
Boots from Kate Spade: Saturday
I'm in a mod 60s mood as of late.
I wore this skirt with an orange skoop neck and yellow tights with my knee high docs and a denim vest. Forgot to snap a picture, though!
Use your imagination :)
Teal Crushed Velet
How good is this?! 12 year old me always dreamed of the day I would have as many colored tights as I wanted. Today, I live that dream... *sniffle*
Randoms of Note
-My boyfriend asked me to switch out one of the pics I used here because I was showing too much cleavage- the weird thing is I hadn't even noticed the cleavage... guess it goes to show boys like to notice boobs. You learn something everyday!
- I'm wondering if anyone else always counts the stairs as they take them? I always realize a few flights in that my inner monologue has switched from 'I love the way the color of that ____ matches the color of ___" to "...12, 13, 14, 15" I go up and down 3 flights of stairs 5+ times a day, and pretty much without fail I'll realize I'm counting them again as I ascend/descend the final floor.

Dear Teal Cardigan,
You are soft and warm, and you go with everything. Just like rice. And puppies.
In fact, wouldn't life be better if every event involved free rice and puppies?
Dear Hair Clips,
I found you in the hair care asile of Ralph's. I think you were intended to be used on babies, but I reject the slim vision that Goodie had for you. I am confidant that you can also "cute up" grown women, gay teen boys, and poodles.

Today is Max's birthday, so we are going to have a fun-filled GeekTime. First on our list is walking Lucy. Then, we'll take a walk just us humans to Game Dude. We're checking out DS games and 3DS games for my new 3DS!
After that, we'll continue on to K-Mart to pick up a 2Gb Micro SD card.

EL POLLO LOCO! I like that place despite being vegetarian, so those caps are only slightly sarcastic....
For a day this geeky and fun, I figured I had to dress like a gamer girl meets Pippy Longstocking.
Gamer girls like glitter makeup and cleavage. Check and check.
Pippy Longstocking like braids and dressing like an orphan/pirate/crouton. Check and check.
(Next fun thing we're doing? Mission Impossible in IMAX!)

Here's what I wore to ride:
Sally Hansen Nail Stickers

| (ManiCURE for the common polish!) |
I only recently discovered that show. Jean Smart is amazing, so is everyone else. Jennifer Esposito, who played Andrea, is the most lovable villan since Fred Mertz.
The clothes that all of the characters wear are amazing, but Andrea's manicure (lime with one orange nail) really caught my eye.
Thus, the manicure to the right was invented. The best part about the flower stickers is that when the tip starts chipping, you can't tell!

Cardigan: This is teal button up cardigan was purchased for me by Grandma during the great Express shopping spree of Sept '09. For the record: When Grandma takes me on shopping sprees like that, I am NOT responsible for anything that is purchased. In those situations, I'm the brake and she's the gas. Obviously, I LOVE getting an entire work wardrobe purchased for me, but it's a complicated transaction...
What I wore on 10/27/2011...
Cardigan: Macy's, purchased for me this season by my auntie in Vegas. She's always giving me awesome hand-me-downs and taking me to Macy's and White House/Black Market outlets. She's awesome.
Scarf: Case in point! Auntie gave me this scarf! I never know exactly how to wear this scarf, but it's really pretty, so I keep trying. I think Auntie gave it to me in the first place because she had the same problem.
Boot: Hello, Docs! These are my magical, marvolous, crazy/sexy/cool 20-eye side zip Doc Marten boots I got last winter in New Orleans. I love these. I don't care how butch I look in them, when I wear these I feel awesome. Plus, I usually wear them with my black mini skirt and tights, so I try to balance out their clunkiness as much as I can.
Jeggings: Old Navy. Rock Star Jeggings in indigo wash. Wish they were 4 inches longer and wish I had them in black. (Well, I wish the right leg was 4 inches longer... my left leg is about an inch shorter because of my accident... which is why I walk in large circles!)
What I wore today...
I used to be obsessed with Old Navy, but living in Manhattan made me fall out of love real fast. The amount of people who can crowd into a NYC Old Navy is insane. When I shop for my favorite Pakistani-made jeggings, I like to do it in peace! I've spent this summer back home in Cali, and took the time to stop by the clearance rack. Old Navy has the best deals in clearance! I also got a pair of well made jeggings for $8- after tax!!
Color Theory
***
When I was in high school, I didn't really understand how to wear more than two colors at once. I'd wear all black, plus one other color that would repeat in my accessories. Then I started to understand that you can wear lots of different colors and patterns (I think I realized that when I was taking an oil painting class my senior year at Hampshire). But wearing lots of clashing patterns has become hip recently, and it takes the fun out of it for me if I know that for all the time I take to choose which plaid cardigan to wear over which polka dot camisole, there are mannequins at Forever21 showing off the same look. That cheapens the style experience for me. I'm a snob like that.
What I wore today...
Cardigan- Purchased for me at the Express @ the Vegas Fashion Show Mall by my famously fashionable grandma.
Cowl Neck Sweater- Ditto ;-)
Skirt- Um... yeah. She must
Boots- Timberlands purchased on the best website for shoes: endless.com! I got these back when I was a PA and had to trudge all over Manhattan and Greenpoint through one of the worst winters ever like I was the Santa Claus of Deliverables. These boots are good for rain and snow... but are still no match for that evil wintery bitch- ice. Slipped on a frozen patch of ice in front of my entire office wearing these once. (Ah yes, the wintery-mixed adventures of a bull in a china shop.)
Belt- I purchased this black wrap belt at a vintage store back when I used to be OK with shopping at places that smell like a laundry hamper. It's one of the most versatile belts EVER.
Tights- Hue brand, super opaque kind. Purchased at Ricky's in Manhattan. I miss you, Ricky's... You were like Hot Topic meets Sephora meets SuperCuts. In otherwords: Xtra Klassy.
