American Apparel Accordion Skirt

Jun 28, 2011 comments   

I bought this skirt yesterday. I have been eying their skirts for weeks now.  I got black. It’ll be easy to wear year round plus I can wear it to work too! :deco14: I wore it like this to work today.  :deco12:

I really like how this skirt feels especially when walking. :zzz: It swishes around effortlessly and the fabric feels cool and almost silky. :deco15: It blows in the wind quite romantically as well. Found that out while waiting for the train today. :deco8:

I also put satin shoelaces on my black oxfords last night. They remind me of tap shoes now :)! I took tap and jazz (among other things) as a child. So now these feel a little nostalgic to me.  :deco5:

And from new to old…. these polka dot flats!! :deco2:

I bought them probably 6 years ago. :deco13: I used to wear them a lot with thick socks. They were always a little big and slipped off my feet. I haven’t worn them in years. :;_;:  

I bought some of my new favorite heel grips for them and brought em into work! :ok: I keep a few pairs of non-favorite shoes at my desk on days I don’t bring in a pair to wear. I take the train & walk a lot to my office so I wear comfy old flats into work, then change into nicer shoes. :) These will be good to wear on days I’m feeling “fun” at the office haahaaa :P:suki:

The pads I’m loving right now are these heel pads from CVS! Unlike other heel pads they are extra textured, a little wider, and a little thicker. So they’re GREAT for shoes that are constantly slipping off. :ok: I put them in shoes that are just too big. I use regular, sleeker heel pads for shoes that already fit pretty well. 

So anyway, I’m feeling better today. :) Finally woke up without a splitting headache at least. Still taking Advil for aches plus some fatigue. :deco8:

Minty Ruffle Blouse

Jun 27, 2011 comments   

So happy. Yesstyle order arrived this past week.  It’s an order of 3 blouses :deco2: and a few other things. I am so in love with the mint green blouse! The front ruffles flutter like waves. :deco2: I love blouses. I can wear them to work but more casually too.  Recently I appreciate simple things with a twist. :ok: Like the “WAVEFRILL” mint blouse with its ruffles and wide shape. :deco15:

Unfortunately the mint color is now sold out but looks like pink is still in stock. With the below black blouse I had a really hard time choosing color! All the colors were great including pink, ivory, and mint! But I went with black because I only have 1 other black blouse. This one with the cut-outs. But this new blouse I can wear to work. XD

The white blouse (direct link) is a dolmen cap sleeve-like style with a V neck and double pockets. The black blouse (direct link) is a mandarin collar with slightly wider, volume 3/4 sleeves. It’s length is also longer than typical blouses and runs longer in the back. Simple, basic, but still special and different. :deco14:  

So as for this past weekend. I was mostly sick. :ng: I woke up Saturday with a mild flu. But I went to see Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop anyway!! It’s a small documentary of Conan’s Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television tour. If you saw the tour you’ll love this movie! :deco10: And even if you didn’t, but you love Conan and find yourself relating to his self-deprecating often snarky humor… you’ll love it too! ::9: I could have easy watched the uncut and raw footage of these behind the scenes for more than 30 hours, I don’t care! :deco3: :deco3: Ok, ok  :P :lol:

Then afterward we stopped by the BBQ Battle and got our picture in front of the infamous Oscar Mayer Wienermobile plus wienermobile whistles!! :P I’ve never seem the Wienermobile on the road. Sightings are a bit rare, right! :deco8: I’ve always wanted to see it. 

So yeah :drops: the rest of Saturday and Sunday I was lying on the floor pretty much dying and marathon-ing Psych. :deco13: Though I went to work today. :ok: An Advil got me through the day and I’m starting to feel better’ish. :deco10::deco13:
