And I'm Back.

I have no excuse for my disappearance beyond the fact that I've gotten incredibly busy with school and an active social life. Here's today for you!

I'm not really cranky.

I stumble.

I do weird things and grab my face.

I am a ghost.

Do you not love the enormous pile of food in my room?

Dig this shirt.

That's money, honey.

Pussycat.

Yep ok. My posters are a Zombie Survival Guide and a Wall-E.

Wallpaper Dress

Normally I avoid dresses that go below my knees because they make my legs look short, but something about this dress... I like it a lot. Probably because it looks like wallpaper.

Yesterday I went for breakfast with my boyfriend, worked, and had my friends Nicole and Barbara over. We decided we want to move to Hawaii. I am seriously considering it. Pros/cons, anyone? Today I worked and shopped and now I'm about to go bake some red velvet cupcakes. Enjoy!

I wouldn't have DARED to wear this dress last week, I was so bloated. TMI, I know, sorry.

Notice how my hair keeps changing...







I bought this bag today for 70% off. Studly.

This got a little goth-y.

I've photographed this Marc Jacobs monocle necklace before, but it's worth photographing again.

And what's an outfit post without shoes!?

Right, oh, and I was tagged. Thanks to Sam!! Her blog is seriously one of my favorites.
1. Go to the fourth folder in your computer where you store your pictures
2. Pick the fourth picture in that folder
3. Explain the picture
4. Tag four people to do the same

This is a picture of my first car, taken very shortly before I got rid of it. It was a 1992 Chrysler New Yorker, and as you can see, it was in rough shape. The headlight cover is missing from an accident I had when some old lady cut me off. Regardless, I still miss that car!

I would like to tag (sorry if you've already done this!):

Let's Give It Up for the New Year

Ahem ahem. I've worn the same thing two days in a row. I love this dress. I love pussy bows. And I hope you'll notice that instead of RED tights, which were my natural inclination (and which I actually had on at first), I chose purple. Why? Because all I ever wear is red, black, and white and I'm trying to steer myself away from that just a little bit.

And the ridiculous sequined jacket was quite a find - It still had all its original tags intact. Brand new vintage! I love the harlequin pattern and the sequined insanity of it all. After looking at these pictures, I see that I have to remove the shoulder pads as I do not appreciate the excess bulk that they add.

It remains to be seen whether I will change into a party dress for later tonight - I have an awful stomachache and both of the parties I was considering going to are kind of far away and it's really snowy out. Bummer.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Sweet Potato Pie

Last night's show was excellent, I went to see Set Your Goals and Four Year Strong. I had so much fun. Today I'm going out for a birthday dinner with my grandparents, aunt and uncle, and my boyfriend, then going to another show. So exciting!!!

So this pair of cowboy boots is my second pair. You've all seen the first pair, and while these are more comfortable and in great condition, I'm not sure I need to have them around permanently and may consider selling them. I just like the color of the other ones better. What do you think? Should they stay or should they go?

I re-took a bunch of pictures... But god, did this dress get wrinkly. Yuck.

Mean.

The boots!!

You's a Ho Ho Ho

What I'm wearing is two dress type things that came as a two-piece set. I remember when I bought this, stripes and polka dots were my favorite things in the whole wide world, and something that had both was impossible to pass up. I think it's pretty Christmas-y, but sometime soon, I'd like to wear these as separate pieces.

And oh god, how much does it cost to get heels fixed at a cobbler? Anyone? I bought them and they'd been fixed once, but it was a shit cobbling job and bits of the heel have been falling off.

This is a blurry camera setting, isn't it? Sorry... Looks like my face is melting.

I found this filthy thing down in the basement. I played on it.

Kind of sick looking. I haven't been feeling so great lately.

Red ribbon and bow jewelry. Appropriate.

I Won't Wear Hammer Pants

...But I'll wear this.

I was in a thrift store about a month or so ago and came across this sweater. I hesitated, thinking, "I'd never wear this!" but I kept going back to it. I ended up buying it before I left, promising myself I'd wear it, no matter how ridiculous I felt. Good thing I did, because I actually really like it.

I present to you: My totally 80's bow print sweater.

This is my fat little Christmas tree. Nothing special for decoration, but we DID cut it down from my neighbor's backyard (this is noteworthy because I live in a city.)

I have hooker boots. For real.
Fun edit: Later in the night when he dropped me off at my house, my boyfriend gave me a piggyback ride to my doorstep because, in platforms, I couldn't walk on the solid ice that coated my driveway.

Mmhmm, yes, I have enormous feet. I was also in a cranky and not-feeling-well mood, hence the faces.

In continuing with my basement-themed photos (because I still can't make it outside, for crying out loud!), I got dizzy and made a chair of this laundry basket.

The bow print. Epic.

My holiday moose. Moose are my favorite animal.

My Happy Feet

A little bit more plaid today. I kind of dig my dress, but I really dig my vintage cowboy boots. I got them on eBay for $10.49. I originally was looking for red cowboy boots, but then I thought the color of these was to die for. These still pinch my toes a tiny bit when I wear them, but I'm breaking them in quite nicely, so they were worth it. My bag and brooch were thrifted, too.

It was too dark in my living room, so I got out of there fast. Maybe next time!



What's weird is the color of my bag and the color of my boots are really similar in plain light, but my flash makes my bag look a little icky. Poor bag.





Got this for $6 at a thrift store. It's real leather and needed a little restoring (which still didn't take out all the stains), but it's a cool little bag.



Umbrella brooch!!!
