Teal Me Something

A. Byer Blazer $15. Vintage Edwardian Secretary Blouse thrifted. Grey skirt thrifted. Belt Love Culture $7. WM Teal Stirrup Leggings $7. Granny boots from yesterday.

Leggings and tights make my short legs look a little bit interesting so lord knows what I'll do in the summer when I have to be bare legged.

These colors I had to borrow from my friend Tabitha. Teal and black are her colors. I mean, it's not like there's a copy right or anything. It was more like a mental territorial pissing :-)

I was thinking "Librarian" when I picked out my outfit today. Although I've yet to see real librarians dress like this. I think the gray skirt has a whole academe flair to it. I pretend that belt buckle is made of adamantium.

Harley Queen


Ralph Lauren Cardigan. Harlequin top gifted by Tisai.Black Tights F21 $5.80. Gifted Granny Boots by my mom-in-law.

Dressed like a ticker tape parade! One of my bestfriends, Tisai, gifted me this harlequin diamond shirt for my birthday three years ago and I totally forgot about it! Sorry Sai. So I finally snipped the tags off and wore it promptly.

Weather is nasty but at least no more arctic blasts. I'm wearing this ensemble without any coats. We're leaving for Tyler, Texas tomorrow evening to attend my friends' Jessie Munns and Chauntelle DuPree's double wedding feature! I hope it's not gonna be too cold over there...or there goes my entire planned trousseau down the drain. Nevertheless, I'm so excited to see the DuPrees again!

It's Hip To Be Squire

Lips Tailored Check Jacket $3 (I keed you not) Burlington Boy Vest $12 Thrifted Secretary Blouse Salvation Army $1.50 True Religion Denim Mini Skirt Bargain $35 Target Tights $8 Vintage Red Stone Jabot Pin $0.25 Repro Pocket Watch $15 Granny Boots from my mother-in-law.
I was talking to one of my bestfriends, Bevlee last night and asked her about what to wear today. It was between English Squire and Neverending Edwardian Love. She choose Edwardian so naturally I went with the Squire look. Haha. Actually my Edwardian style top is still sitting loftily on my laundry pile waiting for be hand washed. Not fun.

A squire look is not complete without a chain watch, which actually works but I have a hard time reading watches with hands so I'm double-watching. I have my ever dependable black Nike digi. The pocket watch is just for accessory. I found that jabot pin from Salvation Army for 25 cents. Major score! The granny boots are just plain awesome! Ms. Marilyn saw them and felt they were me...and they are!


It may look like my dog Gotham is just trying to be in the way but he's actually giving me his lick of approval. Frock on!
