Blogger is actually working now? I've been needing to catch up with my Google Reader something fierce! It's been two days!
I'm just stopping in quickly, as the sun is shining and the weather is fine. :) Have a great weekend, friends!
T-shirt: Joe
Tank: Danskin
Pants: Old Navy
Shoes: Airwalk
Necklace, watch: Etsy
I'm being modest here and wearing a tank underneath my burnout tee. I usually don't. No more, "Mom! I can see your bra!"
That's all,

XOXO
I felt all flouncy and twirly in this outfit. I've worn all these items before on this blog except for the shoes, but it felt like a good remix. Hence the posturing.
All items Old Navy except the belt from Joe.
Zero cropping and fixing the lighting in Picnic today, friends. Forgive?
That's all,

XOXO
I keep meaning to show a close-up of this necklace, but I haven't yet. I took this picture with my Blackberry in December so it's not quite clear but you can get the general idea. I almost had something of this nature tattooed on myself (without my name--not quite that narcissistic yet), but I thought I'd like to test drive it in a non-permanent way first. So I discovered this etsy shop through Hillary and was sold!
I love the idea of being able to tell someone what you have in mind and have them make something that's so perfect for you without even knowing them at all. This artist nailed it perfectly! When people ask me where I got my necklace I tell them, "It was custom made!" in a snobby way but I don't tell them that it was really a great price.
So go to Orangeyredink on etsy! For anyone who loves "tattoo style" without wanting to be tattooed or to risk looking like Ed Hardy threw up on that Snooki Monster, this is a safe bet.

This is the only long skirt/dress item I own, and I never wear it. I just hate maxi dresses! I always feel enormous in them, or even worse: pregnant. I know it helps a little that I'm an even six feet tall in these shoes but the only other time I've worn this dress is when I've let the cleave bust out with my red lacy bra. Of course when I add a touch of skank to the mix I feel a lot more comfortable. Maybe I'll get this vagina dress from F21? (Which I secretly loved before it was pointed out that it looks like ladybits)
I suck hard at this whole self-timer thing. I get five shots, and this is what usually happens:
Finally in the middle, and now we're done!
Except for this silliness:
Dress, jacket, scarf: Old Navy
Tank: Calvin Klein
Shoes: Betsey Johnson
The boy child told me that I would only look pretty if my dress were pink; then he made me have a mustache but at least I got the tiara!
That's all,
Twills
XOXO
When I look back at this outfit, I feel like maybe it was a little too "Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman pre-makeover" for doing mom-stuff that day. Then again, life is so much more fun when there is a little touch of scandalousness.
Fedora: Stolen from the ten year old
Shirt, tights: Old Navy
Skirt: Tommy Hilfiger
Boots: Aldo
Belt: George
I feel like I need to mention that my tights are gold flecks on black and that they didn't photograph well. By no means are they sheer black. I would never want to be accused of wearing sheer black pantyhose! The horror! Though I'm wearing red eyeshadow and for some reason that would horrify the types of people who would wear pantyhose.
That's all,

I made this scarf myself, and I've been thinking of doing a DIY but I can't remember where I first saw the idea. I remember that it was on someone's blog who had linked to a different blog where they first saw this done. Is that vague enough for you?
Scarf: Self made
Shoes: Payless
Everything else: Old Navy
I got a hematoma (I warn you, never google images of this word!) on my hip at roller derby practice on Sunday so I haven't been able to actually wear pants since then. Really, who needs pants anyway? I only wear clothes if I'm going to be leaving the house and that's why I make people call before they come over! The swelling has gone down dramatically as of last night so I should be able to get dressed again soon. It helps that it's been raining constantly for days now, I kind of feel like staying in bed all day again.
That's all,
Twills
XOXO
Every muscle in my body is aching, but it's a good, powerful feeling. Still, there will be NO getting dressed today. Hells to the no. But here, have a song instead:
That's all,
Twills
XOXO
