presto change-o

On a recent impromptu shopping trip I found the most adorable little patent leather Charlotte Russe mary janes for $10 and I fell in love. They even have the big chunky heel that I’ve been lusting after on so many shoes! Unfortunately they have absolutely no tread and I wore them on a slushy day, so I spent the day falling on my ass every time I went outside. Sometimes you gotta suffer for fashion though right?

I’m also looking to challenge myself to try new things stylistically too so I went out on a limb and got a longer skirt than I usually wear. I generally don’t wear anything between floor length and above my knee just because it tends to really shorten my already short self visually. Aaaanyway, I thought this skirt was cute and I actually don’t think I look like a frump monster (which is what I was imagining).

I mean, check how cute these suckers are!!

Thank god that I have such a technologically-savvy guy, I’d never get to do cool stuff like gifs without him!

Well as much as I liked that outfit it isn’t exactly great Friday night bar-wear. So I had to have a little costume change…..

Although,

apparently one of the side effects of starting to drink before having your picture taken is that you can only make weirdo faces.

I love the pailey-esque design on this button ring and who doesn’t love an elephant necklace…

besides possibly someone whose entire family was repeatedly trampled by elephants, I mean.

they’re gonna eat me alive

Man, these freezing cold Ohio mornings have been killing my spur of the moment style! The balcony door is in our bedroom so it’s about 10 degrees colder than every other room, so I never wanna stand in there more than a few minutes. I was excited to remember these wool pants the other day, although I think I could put it together with something more interesting. Oh well, not every single outfit is a home run. :)

one last time before winter

This Ohio weather is killing me- one day it’s 80 degrees and the next it’s 50! This was one of my favorite summer outfits, and I threw it on yesterday morning when it seemed nice and warm. However, by 7 o’clock when I was closing up the shop I was freezing! I was glad to finally document this outfit though since I wore it all summer but was without a camera.

I just love the crap out of my Orange Fuzz brooch- the artists live above Chicken Lays An Egg, where they also make soap! Check out their Etsy shop!

(I’m definitely not engaged folks- it’s just a vintage ring that only fits that finger)
