Fancy-free and free for anything fancy

I’m trying to break myself of certain habits and not always stay in my comfort zone.
Exposing my ears like this, with my hair back- is a big, fat, ridiculous fear of mine.
As you may have noticed, they’re always either covered with fabric, or I have chops to distract you from the open doors on the side of my head.
So forgive me. I’m nervous.

Brown leather belt: Thrifted

Oh, weekend. You always leave so soon.
I am saddened.
But on a much brighter note: Friday night, this guy and I went to a party at Forest Room 5, sponsored by my favorite online store \ blog \ fashion porn site, Modcloth.
(OMG, yes! Modcloth!!)
It was amazing to meet some of the bloggers, like Sarah! And they had trinkets and food and drinks and TRIVIA.
T R I V I A
about fashion in literature.
oh, sigh.
Sooo, that’s where these amazing feather earrings came from! A gift from the lovely Modcloth.
It was like Christmas.

As some of you may or may not know, I am just getting started with my blog.
In fact, just at the very beginning of this week I had this guy install stats to my dashboard.
Well, someone found me.
How, how did they find me??
They googled “painting on shrooms”.
And this is what they found.
I hope their painting came out ok. Psilocybin is a hell of a drug.
We stopped at perfect days

Dear Snow,
We had a really nice Winter together. We had some great memories, I bought a lot of clothes just for you, fixed my car just for you, and even knit scarves and the like. Just for you.
But, there’s someone else.
Spring is here and we were really getting along great and I thought we totally hit it off.
And then you came back. Uninvited. And really made things awkward.
So, I guess what I’m trying to say is….
It’s time we broke up.
I don’t want to see you anymore.
Don’t call. Don’t write.
Don’t cry.
Bottom Up:
Sam Edelman Zoe Boots: GIFT

Yikes, this was really tough.
These were taken about 20 minutes after a freak, morning hail storm.
It was windy and the lighting was incredibly poor.
But, you work with what you got.
I guess.

Shoes: Bakers
Socks: Target
Jeans: ?
Tank: Target
Overshirt \ Cardigan(?): Buffalo Exchange
I wouldn’t say I’m bummed out….
But I got to work and realized that I look and feel like Michael Jackson today.
It feels weird.
