Boring hounds tooth

A delayed post of the March 13th outfit. I didn't get this uploaded until now because yesterday after work I was meeting with a moving company and then after that I went out for dinner. I have a feeling I'll be having a lot of meals with friends over the next week.

Tonight I'm meeting with my lawyer and then spending the evening with a friend packing stuff. Shit just got real, yo.

After all my bravado of "going to pull out all the stops and wear all my craziest clothes" this outfit is BORING. I got this dress in Reykjavik but it really does nothing for me. Why can't I let it go? Because it's red.

Jacket: Origin Unknown
Dress: from Reykjavik (last worn here)
Shirt: from Dynamite (last worn here)
Tights: Anna Sui from Simon in Montreal
Shoes: Steve Madden (last worn here)

I never wear jackets. I've had this for a few years and have worn it probably once. I love hounds tooth. Maybe I thought that would make we wear it.

I'm keeping it though since it has very useful pockets. I'll try to wear it more often!

The only things interesting about this outfit are the tights and shoes.

I got the tights when I went to see Duran Duran in Montreal in October 2011. This is the first time I've put them on. Odd.

I love the print of furniture but I've been at a loss on how to style them.

And finally, I wish I'd worn heels with this outfit but I went with my skull flats.

BORING!

Alice in Wonderland or 1950s housewife

Today I went for a Mad Men 1950s housewife look.

Dress: Shabby Apple
Skirt worn as petticoat: Smart Set
Shoes: Fluevog Wonders | Ayers
Hosiery: Urban Outfitters

One coworker said I looked like Alice in Wonderland and another said I looked more like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (minus the red shoes).

Those descriptions are probably better than my original thought. Certainly Alice was a strong female character.

This photo is an attempt to show the back of the tights. The tights are polka dotted but have a lacy stripe up the back.

I saw some Urban Outfitters tights on another blog (Sunday Crossbow) and loved them but I seem to have ordered a different design. That's what happens when you try to buy something online on impulse. Oh well. They're still pretty.

This is the other pair of Fluevogs that I got in NYC. I tried on a pair of these in May in Vancouver but ultimately didn't buy them. This time I couldn't leave them behind. It doesn't even feel like I'm walking in heels. Soooo comfortable.







I just finished watching the finale for the Walking Dead. I have two observations that won't give anything away. 1. They never seem to miss when shooting at the walkers - even those who have no experience shooting a hand gun and 2. They never run out of ammunition.
