long lost outfits

Oy – I had more outfits that I forgot to put up than I thought. I’ve really been in a groove with my outfits, so even though I’m behind on posting I keep having more and more to post! Not that I’m complaining though! I’m also fighting off a little chest cold so old posts are making my day easier.

This first cutie was originally a floor-length dress that I bought from Chicken the first time I went in. I love how tall I looked in it, but maxi dresses read really formal to me so I almost always hem them. I really love the unique straps on it too.

Me when I first got this dress almost three years ago!

A friend came in and sold me these while I was working and I had to put them on right away!

I found this tunic on the Forever 21 website, but before I could buy it they sold out! Luckily when I went to my local store a few weeks ago I found it there. It was long enough when I got it to totally be a mini dress, but I accidentally shrunk it in the wash so now it’s a tights only ensemble. It also gave me the opportunity to finally wear this awesome coral blazer that I’ve had for years but never worn for some reason!

Layers!

Following the lead of many of my favorite blogger gals, I’ve been using song lyrics in the absence of good post titles. This one is from my favorite Tom Waits song, Ninth & Hennepin a spoken word poem about a the saddest, grittiest dive bar. Classic Tom Waits. The piano I posed with in this post reminded me of the broken lilting piano part in Ninth & Hennepin. I was really excited to find this piano in an alley we were walking through on the way to the bar, it made the perfect backdrop!

I really love the texture of this wrap sweater. It's actually made to be a bolero-style front tie sweater for a lady much larger than me, so it wraps all the way around me!
