Safety pin blazer

I cannot resist a tiny little boys blazer. Seriously, I thrift them all the time for like $3. I have a tuxedo one with satin trim, some wool ones, some polyester, some black, some navy... etc. So I pulled out one of the navy ones with gold buttons and went to town with some brass safety pins! Now the lapels are awesome and judging by the reaction of my students in the hour I've been at work... this is the coolest thing I've ever worn.

So easy and so cool! I think the brass color takes away the corniness of safety pins and makes them less "13 year old goth customizing her hoodie from Hot Topic" and more "runway fashion"...

My feedsack dress

This dress/tunic thing is awesome. I found it on eBay years ago for something like $8? It's very old and thin, hand-sewn, and probably a feedsack dress for a little girl? I don't think they made tunics back then...

I am going to San Francisco soon-ish to visit some friends and I've never been there before! (2010 = year of the vacation. In less than one year I went on a Caribbean cruise; to Seoul, Korea; to Wisconsin to stay with parents for two weeks; a road trip in South Dakota; Washington D.C.; New York City; and now San Francisco. I am so spoiled.) Any suggestions for places to see/shop/eat/etc in San Fran? My friends have lived there a few months so I'm sure they have ideas but I'd love to hear some more, especially since I will be on my own until the afternoon for two of the days! Thanks in advance for your sage advice!

Edit: Since I just found out about Blogging for Breast Cancer AWEARness, and only own like three pink things...  these shoes totally count, yes?

Sophistication Station, Population 1

After dressing like such a bum on Friday, I decided to class it up today. I found this dress at the beginning of the summer and have been waiting for "cardigan weather" to bust it out because the short sleeves make it look really old fashioned on it's own. This dress would be soooo boring and not my style at all if it weren't for the million silver buttons up the front! Unfortunately the skirt is pretty restricting around my legs and so it was deemed "unbikeable."  Instead I biked in pants and changed back into this at work!

The buttons! And shoes!
