Listening to: Wisp, NRTHNDR

 

bags are packed (as you can see) and travelin' clothes are on- it's off to Brooklyn tonight!
Bought these men's Lee jeans yesterday from the thrift store and proceeded happily to distress them.

I'm using a long ropey gold chain necklace as a bracelet. The blazer is thrifted and modified- I swapped the original buttons for genuine brass military buttons. The silk scarf is also a fun thrifted find!

David Bowie, Ashes to Ashes.

As per usual, woke up too late and had to rush off to school. Made my best effort at putting together something decent but the photos are unfortunately out of focus and kind of poorly lit.



I was up really late crafting... This rust-red and champagne colored feather comb is one of the things I made... There is a really interesting vintage button on it that shows a crest of some sort with two greyhound-like dogs.

That's the mess I made crafting last night.



My octopus necklace- purchased from a store on Elmwood Ave called Clutch. It is an absolute favorite.



Today's outfit- nothing too exciting. Skinny dark denim, a brown Italian leather purse with gold detailing (a thrift of Mindy's handed down to me.) Heather grey tee shirt and a wonderfully soft grey flannel belted in the middle with a dark brown belt. Wore my vintage Coach trainers, which I haven't busted out in a while. It's nice to have dry ground to walk on; no more slush= a greater variety of shoe choices!

Yeasayer, Odd Blood


Although I don't generally condone it, I happened to wander in to Wal-Mart in Niagara Falls last week and could not resist this juicy orangey-salmon colored lace bra... just perfect for peeking out from under cami's like this silk peacock-feather print racerback one I appropriated from my best friend Julia. (Yes Julia, you will get it back... in due time. Mwahahaha!)



The fitted brown velvet blazer is a huge score from Am-Vets on Elmwood Ave, as well as that buttery brown leather satchel that was still wearing it's original tag purporting it to be made in Spain.

The skirt was bought on a whim at (of all places!) Dots. The wide elastic belt is from a gigantic pile of lovely clothes I was endowed by the wonderful Kate P. I knitted the hat myself. The royal blue nail polish is Julia's from Avon. The picture does them no justice but the boots are from Liz Claiborne and they are so super special.

The black plastic bead necklace and the thick silver chain as well as the salmon colored paisley silk scarf were all thrifted. All in all this ended up being a great outfit for an unexpected mid-afternoon coffee date (except that the skirt was so short I was worried for my modesty when bending to take photos of a bee buzzing about a crocus!)
