Frazzled

So yesterday Rebecca from MinnChic posted a few outfits and I fell in love with the first look! And thought, "Oooh, she looks so simple and chic! I need to do that! I have a shirt and heeled oxfords just like that! Now... how can I complicate the hell out of it?" Okay, that is not my thought process but that is how it turned out. Simple black skirt? Nope, don't own one. I have a fringed one. A sequin one. A crazy pleated one I liberated off an awful dress. Or this grey one with chain-link fence print and zippers and Hot Topic looking belt from Marc Jacobs. Same thing, yes? Yes. 10 minutes later I'm in my closet wearing this with no idea how I got that way. Also, her tights! An awesome color I can't describe other than to call it "California Raisin?"... yeah, I've got dark brown or maroon. Some liberties were taken. Eh, whatever, welcome to my brain. It's easily distracted, it likes clutter, and is drawn to shiny things. So, I tip my (tacky, natch) hat to you Rebecca. I will always be too overly complicated to be chic. Bravo to you.

Glasses - Prada

Oxford - Ralph Lauren (hand-me-down from aunt)

P.S. Marc Jacobs stuff, two days in a row? 'Bout time you sent me your whole Spring '11 collection as a payback, yes? Call me, Marc. I've got some ideas.

P.P.S. Do I have another date with Mr. T? Yes. He is making me dinner and has promised to "cook my pants off"... hmm, I'll let you know how that works out. Actually, I won't. I'm not Carrie fucking Bradshaw.
