Flying Purple People Eater

Shirt: Thrifted in Waltham
Skirt: Self-made
Belt: Chinatown booth
Shoes: I've had them forever and never worn them before

I got this shirt about a month ago and haven't worn it yet so I felt like I had to find a way to wear it today. I decided to go for all different shades of purple, plus my awesome silver sparkly skirt that I made and love. I love it even more now that I've lost weight and it's actually a wearable length! Also, I found these shoes the other day and decided I really liked them with this outfit.
It was also the perfect outfit for today. I got all of the financial aid I asked for and was actually finally able to register for classes. I'm taking science fiction because hello, I just had a dream about Captain Kirk plus you get to write a science fiction story for one of the papers. Plus I'm taking website design because it's graded completely on projects and Mitch guarateed I'd get an A. And I guess it will be a useful skill to have :-P.

Magical Shoes

I got these shoes the other day at the thrift store and they are my new absolute favorite shoes! The only problem is they are incredibly shiny and have the ability to distract me constantly as I walk and make me revel in their shininess. However, I believe they have a separate magical ability. So far I have come very close several times to running into something because I've been focusing on my feet. But I always look up right before I hit something. Pretty sure its because the shoes are magical.

Daily Outfit

Most of the time I think about and plan my outfit for the next day while I'm trying to fall asleep. Generally this is a very bad idea because it doesn't factor in the weather, or if the clothes I'm planning are actually clean. Anyway, this happened again yesterday.

Hat: Renegade Craft Fair Brooklyn
Tank Top: Express
Vest: H&M
Jeans: DKNY (originally flared, made into skinnies by me)
Shoes: Thrifted and amazingly shiny
I completely forgot that the top hook and eye closure on the vest was broken and didn't realize until I was about to put it on and walk out the door. So I just left it. Problem number 2 was that I had a billion doctors appointments that day (hence the blue bandage on my arm) and putting on and taking off the vest is a huge pain. Otherwise I loved the outfit. Plus I managed to remember my umbrella which I think makes up for the poorly planned outfit :-).

Where No Woman Has Gone Before

I had the strangest/most disturbing dream last night, which I believe was completely caused by the cough medicine. All of a sudden I realized I was sitting next to Captain Kirk (at least it wasn't the modern day William Shatner)and he had his arm around me. Spock sat across from us, and when I could hear what they were saying it was them trying to convince me to have a threesome with them. Ummm, no, not happening. First of all I was still engaged in my dream and secondly Spock had very long fingernails which were very unattractive. Luckily I woke up before anything of this actually happened, because really, how do you refuse a Captain of the Enterprise?

Wardrobe Malfunction

A few days ago my bedroom was pretty warm so I decided to wear the outfit I had picked out the night before. Unfortunately as soon as I stepped outside I realized it was pouring rain. I had just purchased a new raincoat (from the $1 a pound at the Garment district). Fantastic, I thought, now I can use my new raincoat and still look cute underneath. Problem was this:

Shirt: Old Navy
Shorts: Cut offs from Old Navy Jeans
Belt: Waltham Thrift Store
Shoes: Waltham Thrift Store
Turned into this:

I didn't notice that it looked like I wasn't wearing pants until I got to my appointment. At that point I just thought screw it, the pantsless look is trendy now anyway right?

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.
