This is Blaze. And Laser. And... Blazer.

Yep, it's blazer day here in the Land of Blog.

Blue velvet blazer - thrifted vintage (no tags)

Dress - thrifted BGB Ltd. 

Necklace - flea market

Butterfly pin - vintage, inherited from gma

Snake pin - thrifted

Tights - Target

Shoes - vintage via eBay (brand is worn off)

Necklace and pin details... normally I avoid anything butterfly related but this vintage enamel pin my grandma gave me is too beautiful not to wear! I found this felt necklace at a flea market with my mom for $2!

 

I love me a good blazer and in honor of their glory, here are some of my favorite past wearing of blazers (click them to go to my flickr if you want the outfit details). Sadly, there are MANY more blazer outfits... I think I have a problem.

So, I went on my first "date" this weekend. We just went out for a drink on Saturday afternoon and it went really well. I was super nervous and scared all day, I haven't been out on a first date in like four years! We got along really well and figured out we have a mutual friend and actually met once before, a few years ago. He was really cute and nice but, ultimately, I don't think the sun shines out of his ass. And isn't that what we are all looking for? To bask in the glow of someone's ass sunshine? I'm pretty sure he felt the same way. Like, you are cool but we are missing that spark (the one that makes you feel like you're a giddy sixteen year old or makes you want to start just madly kissing the other person, even though you are in public.) So at least I got my first first date out of the way and it wasn't a disaster! I'm sure there will be many more to come and at least a few will be catastrophic and I will want to die but at least then I will have funny stories to tell you.

The difference

I am from Wisconsin, but switched over to supporting MN sports teams when I moved here 11.5 years ago because I knew I would never go back. So tomorrow if you ask me about the Packer victory, I will be all...

But if you were around me at 9:30pm when they won and I was three beers, two bowls of chili and two pieces of wedding cake (long story, don't ask) deep, I was all...

and chest-bumping about 11 dudes and shoving wedding cake in their faces. What a difference a day makes. And just goes to show, I can really only be myself around my friends and thank goodness they find my insanity charming, and want to join in. Speaking of which, I'm off to go dislodge some frosting from my nostril.

P.S. The yellow jacket is thrifted J. Crew.
