Yikes, Stripes!

I got this outfit idea from an article in Lucky Magazine and I have to say, I am quite pleased with the results.  It's really versatile--you could take off the jacket and tights and wear it on a warmer day.  You could also wear pretty much any shoes with it.  I chose these ones because they're new, but I also considered red heels.  I'm also linking up this post with Marionberry Style for the trend of the month (stripes of course!), so be sure to check out her blog and all the other lovely striped bloggers!

Someone's stealing Scruffles' thunder.

Mommy!  Pet me, not the kitty!

Sparkle, Sparkle

You may or may not know from reading this blog, but I love sequins.

It looks like the dogs are kissing, but I suspect that's just an illusion.

Shiny Blue Pants

I had two job interviews the day I wore this.  It was nice to have something comfy to wear while running around all day.  So I don't know why I look mildly disgusted in these pictures.

In a Paper Bag

I'm really running out of things to write here.  This skirt has what I believe is called a paper bag waist.  Such the fashion expert am I.

Polka Dot Pants

I hate skinny jeans.  I hate the way they taper down around the ankles and make anyone with a bigger ass than Kate Moss' look like an inverted triangle.  But there are a lot of really cute skinny jeans out there right now.  My solution to this is to buy them a size too large.  Since I'm short, they're usually too long for me, so I can fold them under and (hopefully) avoid that inverted triangle look, like I've done here.

Me and my muppets.

Little Bit Goth

Kind of funny story about these shoes.  I was on the elevator at work and a woman asked me if my shoes were comfortable.  I told her no, but I just sit at a desk all, so it didn't matter.  She responded, "They sure are pretty, but they're going to give you bunions."  Thanks?

I wore a blazer over this instead of my usual cardigan.

In the Tropics

...And we're back!  It's been a while.  I'm pleasantly surprised about how much I've missed blogging.  Even though it's officially fall, I'm still catching up on some of the more summery outfits that I've worn in the past few weeks, including this one.  Although we had a few blazing hot days in L.A. last week, it's finally starting to feel like fall and summery clothes actually feel wrong.

I think the teddy bear band-aid really completes the look.

Flying?

Spinning.

Addicted to Skulls

I told you I was loving the skulls right now.  I'm sure you'll be seeing more of them later.  I love how these skulls have little bows on their heads.  It's that juxtaposition of hard and soft again.  The dress is open in the back, so you can't really wear a bra with it.  Joanna Coles would not approve.

 

What's a skull?

I think these jeans are so incredibly cool.  I loved them when I saw them on Aimee Song's blog, Song of Style.  I'm super into skull prints right now and fortunately/unfortunately for me (unfortunately because I want to buy everything that has a skull on it), they're having a moment right now.  I love that this skull is covered in flowers, it's a great juxtaposition of hard and soft and I wouldn't want to look gothy.

This ring makes me wanna punch someone.
