sonnytsunami Looking sexy in all your pictures! They used to have Lois jeans here as well. Those gold shoes are a BARGAIN!
Fade to Black Hope you're feeling a lot better! Don't stress! It never is as bad as it seems. Despite your worries, at least you still look great!
Sephora I loved how you balanced out the lady-like bag with the cute shoes and sweater!
Urd I did not know you were so talented! I was gonna ask you where you BOUGHT that coat? Those shoes are gorgeous. The white bow is v. inspiring as well.
Tangerine Your Pumas look great with those jeans.
fashionista-ta I can almost envision your outfit....and it's beautiful! The proportions sound brilliant.
Faust and Softgrey Oooh-er....what's going on here?

So the past three days I have been at working on a secret work project at my new job...so secretive that I had to sign a confidentiality agreement....(but it's V. EXCITING! )
I wasn't sure what the dress code at this company was so I started off smart-ish....and then it kinda diminished in a slummy way over the course of the three days:

Uniqlo long sleeved brown top
Topshop bronze metallic vest with buttons down the front
Free People teal print skirt
Grey velvet tights
Topshop gunmetal flats

Vintage purple eyelet cardigan
Petit Bateau blue stripey t-shirt
H&M maroon long tank top
Vintage blue and purple silk skirt
Vintage white butterfly belt
Black leggings
Really battered Freedom ballet slippers

Uniqlo black and grey stripey long sleeved top
Carlota Joakina green drapey top
Topshop Baxters skinny jeans
Vintage grey belt
Vintage Pierre Cardin black boots

^^ I love that 2nd outfit

 

[Fade to Black]

Thanks for the kind words of encouragment everybody, I'm feelin a bit better today, went to my Econ discussion and some issues I had were cleared up. I'm still gonna see my academic advisor though as I'm already a junior and still ain't declare a major. "Heading towards a drowsy future," as the subtitles for the epilogue of 2046 says, is a good way of putting my life right now

On a brighter note, i realized the outfit i posted last night wasn't workin so well so i changed it a bit and maaaan I wish I had a camera so bad so I could share a pic of what i'm wearing today, this is the best i've looked in months!!! *end Kanye West moment*

i wish my head got so big you could detach it, send it into outer space and it would be its own planet...gotta love it.

 

[Papercut Crisis]

Susie I love your taste! Especially the first & second one.. Its so girlish. You look so good in each one!

Here's me in my customized thrift shirt... too bad you cant see the details.

edit: d'oh.. lets include the pic

love the purple cardigan! so ballerina like and it looks like it fits perfectly.
and i think i have a similar butterfly belt except the band is black instead. does it buckle in the middle?
you always look adorable!

 

[nr9dream]

Thanks everyone who kindly complimented my last outfit ~ Karma comments all around

Softgrey, hope your vest survived the wash...with white I would probably do the same...frayed effect might even get better!? I remember well & loved how you wore it layered w/the long babydoll top
Anna, missed your posts here & love this look: charming & tough at the same time ~ the new haircut is great
Susie, I will surrender my wardrobe if I can have your fab access. lucky to have those boots
Urd, beautiful jacket- congrats

 

[fashionista-ta]

Thanks, Curious, Analog, and susie!

PS Pic of my earrings ... kinda. These are the large, I have the medium, which are a bit smaller & thicker ... a quarter just fits inside mine (ylang23.com, Ten Thousand Things). Have posted pix of jacket, shoes, bag elsewhere but can post again if anyone wants to see

Urd, looking very cute again ...

So this morning I was thrilled to note a 42 degree drop from the high I noted last nite after 6 (104 degrees, 62 this morning) ... today was clearly the day to break out the fall clothes for real!

So ... I put together for the first time

new grey/purple/pewter metallic tweed cropped jacket w/portrait collar (Marc Jacobs)
favorite old black wool crepe skirt, back from its little refurbishing at the tailor (Ann Freedberg)
black sleeveless sweater with organza front (MaxStudio)--bought last spring, just now wearing
black double fishnets (fishnet + laceup effect) (Donna Karan)
new black velvet/grosgrain pumps w/ lacquer heel (Ferragamo)
vintage grey birdseye Lucite bag
grey keshi pearl hoops (bought for this jacket) (Ten Thousand Things)

So I'm putting this together for the first time b/c it's just been too damn hot to try on wool. And I notice a few things (too many words because no digital camera to illustrate) ...

Damn, I remember why I used to wear black all the time! And, Ann Freedberg, don't know much about her, but judging by this skirt she's a freakin' genius! This black skirt is so great people stop me to ask about it.

Other thought is, good thing I am unlikely to meet Dita von Teese today, she would probably kill me for these shoes and hose Great neo-Gothic effect.

In reality I am long-waisted, but the combination of the cropped jacket with its peplum effect (I'm wearing it buttoned, it was open on the runway) and the long genius skirt really makes me look tall & narrow (I'm only 5'4"), so I am thrilled with the optical illusion

But here is the sad thing. I have mentioned before that Marc Jacobs irony is lost here. So I just went out to grab some lunch at a place that's based in Austin, and I had forgotten about the side benefits of that ... there was a discussion of Tom Delay's indictment going on. And here is the really lowering part ... people started shushing the girl who was going off (and I was so enjoying her rant too) because ... in my MJ jacket they mistook me for a Republican.

...
genius...!!!...

i'm sad you have no camera
...
i'll try to scrounge up a pic later if i can...
rock on with your bad selves everyone.....

nr9...
i'm happy to report that it emerged unscathed and back to its original hue....
so all is well....

i wish my head got so big you could detach it, send it into outer space and it would be its own planet...gotta love it.

We all need our Kanye West moments once in a while especially when we're feeling a little down! You're excused coz I trust that you DID look THAT good!

 

[tangerine]

Thanks Sonny, meowmix, Curious, INTER, AnalogB, susie, and my karma benefactors

urd, love your black & white outfit! A little bit Edie Sedgwick, a little bit Marcel Duchamp, a lot of style! And the shoes are amazing too. I tried to give you more karma, but you know how it goes
Sonny, you look dramatic and sexy in the foulard, Sui shirt and jeans! FtB is a lucky man. Love your gold shoes. Inter is a good friend indeed to give you those shoes, 6 € or not! And your pictures are coming out well.
faust and soft, I will take both of your words for it that you are looking great!
INTER, did I mention I am waiting for more pics?
AnalogB, that sounds really great, I like the blue crayon and those shoes are sweet!
susie, I love all your outfits, and your comment cracked me up: it kinda diminished in a slummy way over the course of the three days
FtB, glad you're feeling better, if you skipped just one pair of DH jeans you could have a really good digicam
Seth C., lookin' good, I'd like a better look at that belt
