someone called me a fly girl today

Yeah, I got called a fly girl. Anyone who remembers In Living Color will understand why this kinda made my day.

Anyway, this is one of the super-fabu new blazers that I got last week and I am so in love with it! This whole outfit turned out pretty great I think, especially since I was half-asleep when I threw it together. :)

This is what your face looks like when you try not to squint into the sun. Yup.

Jacob has really been steppin’ up his style lately (which I love) so I of course have been making him pose for pictures. I think he was a little mad about it at first, but he gets more comfortable as it goes along.

I love that he put the glasses on. So cute.

I love these boots that he found too and can’t believe they fit his super-wide feet.

Love having a dude who like dressing up!

modern tux

I wore this number a few months ago and forgot to ever document it, so when I heard that I had to go to a family dinner I figured I’d rewear it. I was really too hot in the hat and coat, but one must suffer occasionally for fashion.

I got this amazing necklace recently, but the best part is the back!

My camera chooses odd things to focus on- like the foliage in the mirror instead of the mirror itself.

blazin’ blazer

I cannot believe that I somehow failed to mention all the exciting things that Chicken Lays An Egg is going to be involved in! Among other things, we are participating in a real burlesque show this Saturday at our favorite bar, Mayday. If you live in or around Cincinnati, please come to the free Brews, Tattoos and Hair Do’s show! The Cin City Burlesque Troop will be doing all the dancing and all of the fabulous clothes (and pasties too) are from Chicken Lays An Egg!! Mayday will also be tapping several new specialty beers, and many of the local tattoo shops will be there with their portfolios answering questions. It will be a night you DO NOT want to miss! The Brews, Tattoos and Hair Do’s link takes you to the Facebook event page for all the info.

On the personal clothing end, I have to say that I’ve been kind of disappointed in the similarity of my outfits lately. I don’t feel like I’m being creative and different enough, which simply means I need to put forth some effort and amp it up! Before I do that though, you get one more similar-ish outfit. I just got this amazing blazer yesterday and today is kind of a nasty gray day, so I had to rock it! As much as I love the way blazers look on so many ladies I have a lot of trouble finding ones that fit me right. So obviously I freaked out when I tried this on and looked in the mirror. I bought it off a friend of mine who is built like supermodel (super tall and thin) so I really doubted it would look good. However this is why I always feel compelled to try on things that I know will never fit, because sometimes they do! Sorry for the odd blurriness on some of them, I still can’t quite figure out what’s going on with my camera. : (
