Scissors and Swans and Skulls

PINK! It's PINK!


Sweater: Pretty Things Boutique
Dress: Dorothy Perkins
Leggings: Who knows?
Shoes: J. Crew via Value Village
Earrings: from Put Me On
Necklace: from Biscuit General Store

This dress is called "swan print shift dress" but the first thing I saw when I looked at it was the skulls right at the waist.  I also thought it looked a little "Alexander McQueen-esque". It was 30% off and then I got another 10% off for joining the site so it didn't cost very much.

The back of the dress is just plain black. I do wish that the pattern was all the way around.









I do like the little black cap sleeves. 

I don't think I could ever wear this as a dress, without tights or leggings, so it's more of a tunic to me.

These shoes are suede J. Crew flats that I got a few years ago at Value Village for $5.99.  On the J. Crew site simlar flats are $150.00. Crazy price! I got a bargain.





Today I was making these earrings look like birds nests and my necklace is scissors that really move. They don't cut anything though. =)

In the early 1990s, when the internet was still in its infancy and text based, I used to participate in Internet Relay Chat (IRC) discussion groups. My nickname was "Scissors". This necklace is my remembrance of times past.
