inspired by

Like I said a few days ago, whenever I’m in a wardrobe funk and I spend some time cruising other style blogs, it always helps me get back into it. So I have to credit the always lovely Keiko Lynn for most of the inspiration on this outfit; it’s a lot like her January 6 post. And the cool scarf loop was an idea I got from Orchid Grey. I love the way she’s been rocking her new scarf, and with the help of some safety pins I achieved the same thing!

snow day!

Well I got up early this morning and prepared for the worst. We got hit pretty hard with snow early this morning and through the afternoon. Unfortunately I had to work a long shift at the library today so I dressed for warmth in my thrifted cashmere sweater and new crazy comfy booties. As I was driving in though I called my boss and luckily she agreed to let me make up today’s hours this weekend. So I turned around and went back home to the pups. The boy and I spent most of the day working on a website for Chicken Lays An Egg. It’s coming along spectacularly and I can’t wait to unveil it!

All tuckered out.

I have to say that I have the best friends. They have just all been so great in helping with the store! If they’re not just giving me things to sell, they’re telling everyone they know to shop with us. In that vein, I have to thank Leah Fleischer for hooking me up with Andria. Andria, along with quite a few of my friends (and now my brother!!) is going to Korea to teach English. If you have lots of student debt and would like to travel, you should look into this. They give you a housing stipend and pay you almost $1000 a month! Make sure you do it Seoul though, otherwise they stick you out in the boonies where there’s nothing going on. Anyway, best of luck to Andria and thank you for selling me all your stuff!

Since I bought a ton of clothes this week I spent most of my day at the store pricing and steaming and I’m still nowhere near done. I did also redress all the mannequins though. I’ll make a post of that in a few.

Everything I wore today except the tights and feather hairpiece were pieces I got from Andria. She has incredible taste!
