The shirt isn't even anything special. I bought it in Key West last summer at this bar called the "Hogs Breath Saloon". On the back it says "Hogs breath is better than no breath at all." I think I like the ugly drooling hog head on it. Paired with my red "Mr. Rogers" cardigan, patterned tank, Express blue jeans, delias ballet flats, and a long necklace that I think I bought at like American Eagle 6 years ago.
Still trying to salvage my black leggings but I really need to throw them out. They are basically tattered rags I try to disguise at real pants. I just love them and they are so comfortable and easy to dress with. I'll miss them. Speaking of leggings: Does anyone know if the American Apparel leggings are worth the price? I've heard good things, but they are so damn expensive for freaking leggings. My shredded leggings are paired with Old Navy tunic, AE half sleeve plaid button up, the Doc Martins I always want to wear but rarely do, and the gold jewelry I found at the flea market (see: I've Got Fleas). I think I've spent more time with that gold cuff on than off even though its so thick it makes me wrist completely useless. I feel immobility is worth it.
Faye and Jax. Faye has this ability to layer in amazing ways. I'm a fan of the mix of hooded zips with big folded collared coats and the play on proportions. And Jax is just awesome at never wearing real pants. I'm digging the bright pink spandex.
Beats and BryBry (Can I call him BryBry? I mean we have hung out like 3 times now. That's long enough for nicknames right?) I like Beats in glasses :)
We got randomly got free clover light up things. Mine was sooo huge I actually found it really embarrassing and annoying so I spent 5 minutes trying to turn it off. This is what Faye did with hers. And then she did this with Carlton:
It was an awesome St. Patrick's Day! I hope you all had an equally entertaining SPD!
Target cardigan, Old Navy dress, Loft tank, and an assortment of jewelry. Oh, and of course my fave readers.
I also took out my favorite sandals for the occasion for their first wear of 2009. I love these sandals. I think I found them in Lynchburg for $7.
An old lady had this military inspired jacket with a matching skirt along with hundreds of other KILLER vintage clothes. I didn't even think it would fit me but after staring at it for 10 minutes I couldn't part with it even if it was too small. In fact, it does fit... kind of. I just can't button it up, but that doesn't mean I can't still wear it! I'm so pumped.
Was instantly smitten with this gold and amber cuff. If you look closely there is a moth on it, the seller tried to convince me its a butterfly, but it clearly isn't. I like that its a beautiful piece of jewelry with this ugly bug on it.
And after spending too much time in one stall I finally decided on this necklace after the seller said she would sell it to me for $4. WTF?! I had originally wanted this really creepy long white steel necklace with this dog on it. It was weird, but funky. Sadly, the creepy dog was really expensive for some reason and I wasn't willing to pay that much to freak people out.
Although its used, its still magical. So I think I'm going to spend the rest of the day lounging in the gorg 70 degree weather and reading about MK&A. Its been a good day...
I hope you all have a great day and a great tomorrow.
After raging it for a few hours, Faye and I started to make the long trek to the metro from Adam's Morgan (its got to be at least a 1/2 mile). Faye was craving empenadas and I was craving a warm place to hide for a few minutes. Needles to say, we missed the very last metro due to onion infested empys. We ended up sitting at a bus stop for about 30 minutes calling everyone awake looking for a way home.
Faye's onion encrusted spit up.
This is my "Its 3:30am and I'm trapped in DC" face
One of the many phone calls made to save our lives. We came to terms with dying that night. It was either that or whore ourselves out to a taxi driver. I'm not willing to give them $50 for a ride home so we were definitely not going to do IT. So, we chose death. Eventually we got hold of Christian and was kind enough to let us stay at his BF's house. I have never felt so pathetic or had more fun. If I ever have to get stranded in DC again, I hope its with drunk Faye.
I'm so madly in love with these Urban Outfitters boots. Probably because they are borderline hideous. Which makes them that much cooler.
This swimsuit is bananas.
I've contemplated the idea of spatz over the past few months. I've decided I'm a very strong supporter.
And just for good measure, Lust #4: A button machine! I'm totally into crafting and often willingly put forth far too much of my pay check towards craft supplies and I can't believe after all this time a button machine has never crossed my mind. I really really really want one. How much fun would it be to make custom buttons?? That is the only thing people would ever get from me for bdays, xmas, new years, half birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Ugh, my life would be so much cooler if I had a button machine.
