I Never Thought I Would Do This Fashion Nightmare
September 4, 2008
Oooooh, yes- so much for never. It all happened accidentally, and it would almost have to.
Its one of those 80′s looks of the past that is so laughable- my fiance insisted I try on these ridiculous jeans so that we may laugh at them together. We couldn’t believe they had so many acid washed jeans on display- it was such a joke we had to partake. And the joke’s on me apparently.
I totally like them- I mean I actually like these jeans. I NEVER thought I would say or admit these words, but these are a cute pair of jeans- darn them. It wasn’t until I had them on that I came to this realization. And by no means am I going to look for more or encourage them to return- but this particular pair.. darn their cuteness.
Even the buttons at the bottom are kind of cute to me now. And I am not a jean person to begin with, but these fit me like a dream. I couldn’t pass them up.
Ugh, okay but on an actually current and happy to
indulge upon fashion note- another killer top from Richard Chai has been added to my wardrobe (with the jeans no less).
It has extra long sleeves and is slightly open in the front from the top and bottom- with a low neckline and a high center line. I like how it flows out but still feels comfortable and fitted. It allows for movement- both functional and for show, and it moves lovely.
The little buttons on the shoulder are a nice touch, too. Again with the detail, I am quite pleased.
Alright- I’ve admitted to taking pleasure in my fashion crime, and even brought something nice to make up for it. Think what you want but I love it. Maybe the top helped me pull it off- I don’t know but I’m doing it.
Little Bunny Fashion Find
August 6, 2008
Bunnies and kitties and puppies are delightfully cute, and speak volumes to my inner child. So when I came across this little find, I couldn’t resist the chance to indulge.
It is a sweater dress that is incredibly cute and cozy. The hood has little ears attached that flop on the side-when I purchased it, it was said to be a bunny, however my friends and I argue whether it looks more lie a bunny or a puppy. Either way I am pleased with it, but I like the idea of a bunny a little better.
Anyway, I think it is fun without being too childish or what have you. Its rather subtle at first, too, since if you are not wearing the hood the ears just dangle on the back. The only clue is the little bunny/puppy cloth pin on the front pocket. You can move it wherever you like, but I think it is cute there.
I wore it out to the Grand Canyon a little while back, mind you it was unexpectedly cooler than I was prepared for, and though it is a “sweater” it is not the warmest for this cool of weather.
Being on vacation means a limited wardrobe, and so a quick trip to an inexpensive shop and thus you have the strange mix of tights and scarf (haha).
That strangeness aside- you can get a better idea of the dress. I’ll be looking for more of the same, maybe a kitty next time?
Let me know if you see one before I do.
Much love, xx!
