Bundled Up In Hue

Rue 21 Red Corduroy Down Jacket. Embroidered Mandarin Vest H&M.Hydraulic Jeans.Tent Sweater Derek Heart.Wear It Declare It Thermal. Frye Boots

Bundled up in joy, can you tell? That's four layers of clothing. This is probably one of my favorite mixes and color combination. I love that vest. It's a staple to me, how can it not be, it just screams folkloric!

Thad in his London Fog jacket, giving me warm kisses to brave the cold is part of the ensemble. Somehow we look like an anime couple. Kyaaa!!!He's bending too low and me tilting my head too high because I'm too short and chibi-like. Feeling all warm and fuzzy now ^_^

Bloomsbury Belle

And it is cold again...No one really knows what weather Louisiana decides to have. The weather report is a myth. That's why I can never plan my wardrobe ahead except for this coat. The only reason I was looking forward to Monday was this coat. It was a long overdue project that I finally finished that I now got to wear :D The coat was too plain Jane so I appliqued the flowery print corduroy bib on it.

The hat, and pardon me for the crappy photo is a granny square hat I designed myself and had someone from etsy.com make for me. I am totally in love with that hat...so much that I have another one made in different coloration.

I decided to title this after the Group who did nothing but wrote poetry and had affairs with each other. It has nothing to do with my wardrobe except that there's flowers on my chest and head :-)

Erin Go Brag (About Your Shop...)

This is a double frugal feature of me and Erin McNulty, my fellow artist gal pal at work. We like the same things meaning she is my to go to for "awwwww factor" when I find something cute. She also has an etsy shop where she sells prints like her best seller below, a personalized Family Tree print. You can order one by clicking this link!

Every now and then, I find people who wear interesting clothing and I wish they have a blog about their wardrobe stories. Most of them don't so I'm going to do double features when I can. Erin's leggings were begging for a feature today so here we are! Erin go bragh! Heh.

The Red Baroness

Ashley 26 Int'l Bomber Jacket. CPure Mini Lace Dress $5 (yes you read that right) Black Cotton Tights WalMart Frye Boots. Aviator Fur Hat. Ray-Ban Aviators. Photo by Erin

This ensemble came together because it is fargin' cold outside. That bomber jacket is lined in fleece and the aviator hat is lined in rabbit fur so I'm snug as all get out. Before I knew it, I was dressed like Manfred von Richthofen or in more popular terms, the Red Baron. I figured I'd wear a nice little lacey mini dress to put a little bit of feminine touch to it.

My friend Erin took the photos with our inferior work camera because my camera finally gave up on me. I did take some pictures at home but when I tried to download them, well...I couldn't. It's probably tired of my mug from daily photo sessions and just decided to kill itself.

There's this room in our design department area that acts as a closet for electrical supplies but it also has those huge pipes with gauges on it. It kind of has a steampunk feel to it. I thought the room went with the outfit. I couldn't find a Fokker Dr.I triplane at short notice anyway.

Please Frye My Boots

Dollhouse Coat $36 Crocheted Rose Scarf $6 Paris Blues $24 Frye Boots

...Is a spoonerism of "please buy my fruits". I learned that in 3rd grade. Thought it'd be a neat title since my boots are Fryes and oh well...brain is already tired.

Some days are better than others. Today is not one of those days. I am still not consistent with my camera angles, lighting, time variants...etc. It probably doesn't help that I am always in a hurry when I'm taking pictures because I take them before I jet off to work.

Today is a tad bit nipply. I wanted to be warm but not looking like a bundled up Sherpa. This pink coat is one of the very few thin but warm coats that I have. Underneath, I am wearing a tan thermal and a dark teal military bib style shirt but you can't see them because of the scarf so I didn't bother taking detailed shots. I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing that teal shirt again in warm weather. I snagged that scarf from Ross. It was too interesting to pass up plus, it was only $6.

Feeling kind of blah today. The only good thing I can think of right now is in a couple of days, it will be the weekend. Hurray for optimism. Meeerh.
