I feel like a Newsie!

I really wanted to wear my again today (surprise) and then I saw the suspenders that Mitch refuses to give up even though they won't fit him. But I have them now which means I have to get as much wear out of them as I can before he steals them back (they were also about $.50, so the whole thing is slightly ridiculous). Anyway I got dressed, looked in the mirror and realized I looked like I just jumped out of the movie Newsies.

The Newsies:

Pretty much the same. I did get some weird looks today, but considering I was at the dentist, work for a minute, and CVS that's to be expected. They don't have newsies go through those places just everyday.

My New Hat Heals Sickness

I've been pretty sick and in pain for the past few days, and finally got an appointment with my doctor yesterday. I was fully prepared to go out in exactly what I was wearing (pajamas) but then I saw my new hat and knew that I had to wear it. And it would look ridiculous with pajamas so I needed to actually get dressed.

So I ended up with a simple outfit featuring my awesome new hat. And my pink scarf/wrap because it was freezing out. But I was still dressed. That hat has magical fashion powers.

My Wedding Outfit

So Mitch didn't know any real details of the wedding on Sunday so I ended up bringing a million dresses and 5 pairs of shoes. At our 50's party I tried on all of the possibilities and this one won. I was pretty excited because I have no idea where else I would wear this dress.

This dress is amazing. I tried it on at the thrift store just for fun expecting it to be hideous and it turned out to actually look good on. Also, I love looking different from everyone else and this dress definitely accomplished that. And yes, that sign says don't stand on the grass, I know, I'm such a rebel. :-P

My Bus Outfit

I know I look like someone that just immigrated to Ellis Island during the 1800s, but everything does have a purpose. The scarf covered my curlers, which I had to put on early to make my hair appropriately curly. The shirt, pearls, skirt, and shoes were all my outfit for the night. The scarf was to keep me warm. The vest was to use as a comfy faux fur pillow. And the bag was to keep my new cool plastic glasses safe. All necessary, no matter how crazy I looked.

BoltBus Scary Fashion

My bus is scheduled to arrive in NYC at 7:15 and me and Mitch have a party scheduled to begin at 9, so of course I had to dress for the party at home and look like a crazy on the bus. It's 50s themed so I really wanted curly hair and the only way I can get curly hair is to use the curlers that you put in wet and let your hair dry with them in. So I am now wearing them, on the bus, covered with a scarf, like an old lady. Here is proof:

I'm also wearing my scarf/wrap thing because it is always freezing on the bus!!!
To make matters worse I've been listening to music and can't help myself from starting to dance and mouth along with the words. People must think I'm a crazy.

My Outfit

I was feeling down this morning so I decided to wear something fun, and what's more fun than a banana skirt and yellow tank top? So thats what I wore, with my awesome gold elf shoes. Again today all I had was sewing (yay!), a work meeting and then the workday from hell.
Tank Tops: Target
Skirt: Self Made
Shoes: Thrifted

My Outfit (technically yesterdays outfit)

I really had nothing special to do yesterday but still felt like dressing up so I did. I then sewed, cleaned, and went to work. And then burnt my hand on scalding soup at work and had to go home early. Awesome. And extremely painful.


I love this outfit. Everything came from either the Garment District or the Waltham thrift store.
Blouse: thrifted from Waltham
Skirt: thrifted and vintage from the garment district
Shoes: thfited from Waltham
Belt: thrifted from Waltham (and only $2!)

Close up of the elephant on the belt. How cool is that? New favorite accessory.
