dance yourself clean

OK I have to say right off the bat- if you like dance music you need to check out the new LCD Soundsystem, This Is Happening. Per usual they do the 8 minute song thing a little more than I’d like, but it’s really damn catchy! I’d recommend skipping about 1:30 into the first track “Dance Yrself Clean” for a serious jam.

Also, I updated my links categories on the right- please check out some of the amazing sites I added! Presently the favorites category is all style blogs, including several other Cincinnati style bloggers! The other friends section is mostly compiled of my friends who have cool blogs about other topics. So give ‘em a read!

When I went into work at Chicken Lays An Egg on Wednesday I was just wearing a sweater and jeans due to my hungover state when I woke up. However once I got to the shop I saw this skirt though and knew I had to have it! I trimmed off about 4 inches and have since hemmed it, and luckily I had on the brooch and cute scoop neck under my sweater. So I grabbed a belt from the rack and borrowed a pair of my own shoes to create this! I can’t wait to see what I can do with this skirt once I get to play around with the stuff I have at home. Not too shabs though…

old lady accessories

I was really happy with how well this outfit came out! I hardly ever wear this pencil skirt, but combined with the cropped sleeve jacket, gloves, and tiny pillbox handbag it makes the perfect old lady style classic outfit. And I love this coat so much- it’s vintage  and locally made! I got it for free years ago and was very pleased to later find out that it was made by the now-defunct Cincinnati brand, Sincerely Jenny.

I really love the detail on this shirt too.
