babydoll dress -- stoop sale

sandals, bag, shorts -- remixed

vintage bracelet -- "new" from vendor @ Brooklyn Flea/Ft Greene

I know I said stoop sales were best for accessories but I broke that rule with this babydoll dress. It's too short to wear as a dress without shorts so I swear, I've got shorts on (you can kind of see them).

Okay Partner, I hope this is something that you would like to put on your table, it's on it's way to you!

First long-sleeve day of the year. Lame-o. I am kind of excited that I look part-lion in this picture. Thundercats...HO!

Basic Obedience

According to my neighbors, in addition to 7/4...7/3 and 7/5 and probably 7/6 are also great days to set off illegal fireworks. I probably don't actually hope they get hurt but I think they could stand to hear a little "You'll shoot your eye out" at this point.

A break with the girls during the work week at North End Grill, New York

I was instructed to wear black, by the photographer for the small wedding party. Obliged.

{I am headbutting Oneida, who is sitting on the dresser right there, FYI; I like to multitask}

I don't usually belt across my hips because I think it's kind of weird to draw a line across the widest part of my body but I do like this belt and it's too big to use as a cinch belt?

OR I could get a cobbler to make another hole in the belt, although the length then becomes a slight issue?

I am still lazily wearing my glasses into this week? I just realized my neighbors have finally stopped the street fireworks.

Always Early 1997 Spring/Summer Collection

I love this watch. I am ALWAYS early to everything, so I thought this watch was so funny! If you notice, the face is shifted five minutes clockwise, so it looks like it's later than it really is. On this watch, it looks like it's 10:30, but it is really 9:25.

I guess I've given up on looking professional on days I don't have meetings. Pigtails ahoy.

Basic Obedience

I did walk in to work with pigtails but thankfully had time to morph my hair into something more adult and work-appropriate.

The most exciting thing that happened Friday was that I redid my GTD-based bulletin board at work and had a neurotic case of having to run to Staples across the street to get a specific color of puhspins. (No rest for the wicked.)

Today we did an e-learning session on how infectious disease is spread in cat/dog foster homes.

Good trick: You're supposed to take at least as long as it takes you to sing "Happy Birthday" to rub soap on your hands. Washing your hands is important and often overlooked so I set their password to be WASHYOURHANDS

- top, shamefully Delias

- Bklyn skinnies, ...Delias

Especially the ones who spell it "punx".

For wardrobe remix:

- tailored too small Banana Republic dress (thrift!)

- vintage macasite pin

- Cheap Mondays jeans

- disgusting poorly made Wanted flats

I think I wear this similarly every time but I don't know if I can do anything other than a fitted top and heeled shoes.

Weaning yourself off drabness will be an easy feat and a pleasurable one too if you take note of the Gagliardi Spring/Summer 2014 menswear collection which is promising to catch urban fashionistas unawares in more ways than one. With innovation in its sails, this brand, born and bred in typical Mediterranean warmth and well-being, has something for every age of men under the sun. This seasons range comes inspired by the fashionable Italian coastal resort location of Amalfi. Whilst resting on tried and tested tailoring specialities, styles are turned around and brightened up with flair and colour, prints and pinstripes plus the odd polka dot...

Uh. Shoes? The shirt was already too frumpy for flats. So - wedges.

Accidental stoop sale Sunday. Why am I a magnet for other people's crap that doesn't fit me? It must be genetic. I was so piously great about holding back on impulse buying for so long. However, this cute bag came from a stoop sale - and I do not regret it!

I liked the design and cut of the tunic, but not really the colors. Tan is a weird color. I also liked that it had buttons on the back.
