Pin-up

This outfit was very "me". This is my favourite colour combination even if it is "matchy-matchy". It's the combo I use in my official capacity as "Roller Derby Ref Girl", since my skates are red and they're an expensive accessory to change on a whim. I felt like I wanted to be "seen" in this, but in reality I just wore it to the grocery store and to pick up the kids. I fit right in amongst the other moms in their sweats and khakis. Okay, not really.

Included for the LOLZ:

Since when did I start looking like I wished I had my own portable wind machine?

Dress: Old Navy

Belt: George

Shoes: Seychelles

Bracelet: Thrifted

Ring: Babydaddy

Necklace: Etsy

Bra: Um... Oops?

Red shoes make me deliriously happy.

On the Prowl

I wore this when I went out for lunch with my cousin and saw her new baby for the first time. When I arrived she told me I looked like a cougar, so I told her that of course I was wearing my uniform since I'd just been out trolling for dates outside of the local high school. I'm very impressed at my milf skillz, that I can still chase my four year old, her two year old, and carry her baby all while wearing these shoes. Not at the same time, mind you. I'm not Super Milf or anything, I just act the part!

Shirt: Thrifted

Skirt: Joe

Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

I thrifted this black silk shirt with princess sleeves when it was one dollar per bag day at the thrift store in the next village over. I hadn't been there since high school, since it's in the same village which I don't go to often, but I popped in while getting my snow tires changed over to my all-seasons. I love the idea of thrifting for various reasons, especially environmental, but I never seem to get the chance to do much of it because shopping with children attached to me is tricky. That, and they can't seem to stop molesting the mannequins! So I'm so glad that I made such a score this day and bragging about it makes me feel even better. The cost per wear on this blouse right now is like 10 cents and it's my first time wearing it.

Pants Envy

I am pretty much obsessed with this girl's pants, Krystal from This Time Tomorrow. Don't get me wrong, I hate pants! I hate that I am too tall for regular length but when I get long length I either have to wear hella tall shoes or have them hemmed and I procrastinate way too much for that mess.

But these pants are blue! Electric blue! They're short on purpose! I know she bought them from Asos but I'm obsessed with finding pants this colour in real life so that I can try them on. I live in the middle of nowhere so driving for a few hours either way to find them is no big deal if I just knew where exactly to get them...

Has anyone seen pants like this in person? If so, where? Won't you enable my pants envy? Driving to San Francisco to steal this blogger's pants is just not an option right now, especially since I'd only be able to wear hers as a hand puppet. :P Help a sister out!

Find me some pants.

Depraved Sheep

My son and I wanted to take these pictures in front of these weird murals they have near the arena where I go to roller derby practice because this is the first time I've worn this dress. I bought it during the first day of my 30 for 30 because I was in Old Navy and noticed that it cost only $3.50 because it had a broken belt loop, which I don't use anyway because I'm too tall for the rest of the world's pre-prescribed waist level! So there! :P We flew from the mother's day family function at my grandmother's nursing home to derby and we were a little early so mischief ensued.

On her:

Dress: Old Navy $3.50

Booties: American Eagle

Bracelets: randomness

On him:

Hat: Fox

Shirt: MMA, Grandma'ed

Shorts: Old Navy

Socks: Fruit of the Loom

Shoes: Nike

Handsomeness: His Mama ;)

It was a little awkward when a bunch of my teammates started driving in right past me at the same time as the camera was going off. I'm still trying to keep my blogging life a secret for the most part and am still so awkward with taking pics outside. And someone please remind me to take pics before driving in the car for an hour. I judge other people for their wrinkly clothes and I am no exception! (I'm judging you. Yes, YOU!)

Orange is Not the New Pink

This outfit was boring except for the orange shoes so I decided to show you my purse and also to tie this scarf on myself. My ten year old told me I looked weird, but he's lucky that I wasn't wearing it as a shirt like I was earlier that day until I realised that it was making me look like I had weird crotch-area tassels. Also, I mention the words crotch and vagina far too much for a blog about clothes.

Tank: Calvin Klein

Skirt: Old Navy $2!

Scarf: Ardene

Shoes: Nine West

Purse: XOXO

Gold & reptile bracelets: thrifted

Apparently not into smiling much this day, although I did have fun while wearing this! The two brightest things I own at the exact same time. I am going to have to remix them into Fruits Week!

Copy Cat

I was pretty much copying this chick when I got dressed on this day, except that I couldn't find my black summer hat and didn't want to do the black fedora again, and all my pictures turned out squinty because it was too freaking bright. And! Welcome to another forlorn part of the outside of my house! You've seen the basement door, so now you can see the door to the back porch!

Nobody needs to see that many squinty wrinkles unless it's a before and after botox ad!

Dress: Old Navy

Purse: Aldo

Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

Bracelet: goblin-made. I mean child-made!

My four year old is obsessed with trying to get me to wear this dress, but then he was mad at me because I wasn't wearing pretty shoes. I told him that I had to wear flat shoes when we walked to pick up his brothers from school, but he was still mad at me until he convinced me to put on red lipstick. Red lipstick is the answer to many of the world's major problems!

You Look Fruity!

First of all, click here.

So, I'm going to be taking part in Fruits Week. This is going to be hard for me, and I might whine about it but when it's over I know I'll think it had been fun. I hope you'll join me?

Here's the rundown, and also for my own reference:

Does anyone else want to get fruity? Please contact Megan Mae!
