Pumpkin skirts and tiger dresses

Tuesday:

 Glasses - thrifted for $0.80 - they are original American Optical horn rimmed glasses! I finally got around to getting new lenses put in them. You can also see them in the last post when I am at the Twins game. My nerd factor has been increased a thousand fold and I couldn't be happier!

Jacket - thrifted, vintage

T-shirt - Target

Skirt - DKNY

Shoes - Ditto by Van Eli

I wanted to wear this little vintage jacket once to see if I want to sell it... I have a hard time getting rid of things (clearly)... while I don't think I'll wear it often, it is a fun piece. However the way to get your dream wardrobe is to slowly accumulate things you LOVE. I like this. A lot. But do I LOVE it??? I don't think so, but for now I'm hanging on to it, I feel like I'll love it come spring??

Wednesday:

 Blazer - thrifted

Belt - thrifted

Dress - thrifted pajamas (Toast and Jammies brand -score!)

Shoes - Charles David

I normally do not wear the exact same outfit twice, but well, I don't think there is any other way to rock this tiger-headed tiger-print pajama shirt ... I think the shrunken blazer, black belt, and black shoes are the only way to go... puts it in the "vaguely wearable" vs "clearly drunk" style of dressing.

Plus I am le "half sick" right now and couldn't be bothered to be creative this morning, I just wanted to stay in bed as long as possible. Having to breathe out of my mouth all night since I am so stuffy results in a sore throat which makes me grouchy... thankyouverymuchforallthesnottyhugslastweekchildren. Boo on germs.

Black and white and redhead

Friday:

 Shirt - JC Penny clearance

Skirt - thrifted, screenprinted by me years ago

Shoes - Michael Kors

Hmm, I should have taken a close-up of the shoes - the soles and heels are so fun! But P.S. to Michael Kors, I know that Project Runway was filmed in LA this season, but I miss you! Your catty comments were my favorite part of the show. Now I just do impressions of you for my gay boyfriends during the judgings, trying to think of what you would say... which is fine and funny, but seriously, COME BACK!

I changed Friday night, since we had awesome tickets to watch the Twins beat the Tigers! Wahoo!

Monday... sometimes I like to pretend like I'm a matador...

 Vest - thrifted

Polo - Target

Shorts - thrifted The Limited

Wedges - Charles David

a modest and proper outfit

Was going to title this something about a schoolgirl, but then realized that would probably attract an exorbitant amount of pervs... But there is something about this outfit that is school-girlish which bothers me slightly because one of the grossest things in the world is grown women dressing up like sexy schoolgirls... it's just really disturbing, even on Halloween.

Ruffled shirt - thrifted

Skirt - Elevensies, secondhand shop in Boston (every pleat is lined in a different fabric!)

Shoes - Isaac Mizrahi for Target, years ago

Oooh and speaking of Halloween, I'm starting some brainstorming on what to be... I don't want to wear any sort of body/face paint and don't like wigs, so redheaded characters are hard to come by... my ideal costume would be to make my #1 gay boyfriend Chris be Patsy Stone from AbFab and I would be Edina Monsoon:

It's perfect, he's gay, blond, and smokes! Then we can just run around drinking water out of vodka bottles and it's perfect!

If he won't do it I'm thinking Peg Bundy:

Or Maude Lebowski from the hallucination scene:

We'll see... Halloween is such a big deal to me, I really need to think it out...
