People tell me that I look totally different when I straighten my hair, and I’m inclined to agree with them. Recently I went to the post office with straight hair and saw a neighbor I’d talked to for about 10 minutes the day before. I said hello, but he didn’t seem to recognize me. One […]
Outfit Post: Interrupting Cat
I was trying to take photos of what I wore today, when I got photobombed. Little Miss Adventurous decided that she wanted to be in the photos, too. (Although she didn’t want to be held, clearly.) Blouse & cardigan: Secondhand (Buffalo Exchange or Crossroads) Pants: Target Shoes: Vintage Coach, thrifted We got Adventurous from a […]
Outfit Post: Stolen
It’s a time-honored tradition for girls to steal t-shirts from their significant others, though it rarely goes the other way. My husband’s t-shirts are, for the most part, too big and boxy for me to wear. This one, though, is super soft and drapey, and I think I wear it almost as much as he […]
Outfit Post: Bad Kitty
Recently I’ve come to appreciate the bad-hair-day-hiding capabilities of hats. The top of my hair could be all frizzy and messy, with roots that need some work, but you’d never know thanks to my hat. I knit it a couple of years ago using this pattern, and I’m working on another, this time from this […]
Today I was determined to take some outfit pictures even though my tripod is (I think) packed away in a pod that hasn’t yet reached this side of the country, and there was no one around to be my photographer. My method involved propped my camera up on a garden bench, which didn’t actually work […]
The owls are not what they seem
Even though they surely exist year-round, owls are one of those things that are associated with Halloween. So perhaps wearing this owl skirt now is inappropriate, but I’m not ready to move on to Christmas-themed dressing quite yet (or, actually, ever). Owl skirt: Thrifted Jacket: TJ Maxx Shoes: Urban Outitters Bag: Made by me Everything […]
Outfit Post: Beribboned
I came across this skirt in my closet this morning and decided that today’s drop in temperatures warranted something tweedy. It’s got really cool buttons that have big velvet ribbons sticking out through the holes. I have no idea what era it’s from, but I think someone made it by hand and I’ve never seen […]
Outfit Post: Like a Brick
It seems perfectly appropriate for Autumn to match your building’s bricks, doesn’t it? Despite this weekend’s wintry weather, the seasons haven’t officially changed yet, so I’m hanging onto Fall for as long as possible. Dress: H&M Cardigan: Target Everything else: Thrifted Also, Happy Halloween from “A Friendly Ghost” that apparently lives in my building. Spooky!
Outfit post: Magical Powers
Now that my hair is long enough, I’ve been trying out new updos, starting with a topknot. I’m also trying out the new necklace I made, which resulted in a girl accusing me of either trying to repel witches, or being a witch. I think I’d rather be a witch, seeing as they’ve got magical […]
