Saturday, April 26
Well, I attended a wedding this afternoon and just got home, so we've got on a black skirt, black sleeveless top and a short-sleeve blue plaid jacket that accentuates the hell out of my hourglass figure.
cropped yoga pants and a long sleeve t-shirt of my boyfriend's. makes me feel a bit closer to him when we're apart. (the little things you do in a LDR to make yourself feel better about not being together.)
nothing at all! nothing at all! nothing at all! (shakes heinie)
boxers and an old volleyball tshirt from high school
Stupid Flanders... White shirt and blue pants.
suit pants and a black v neck top that is a cross between sweater and blouse and heels. I don't like to dress up this much for work usually but these two items do not require ironing so it's helpful to have this stuff around when you wake up late and ride your bike to work.
I'm wearing this: black button down shirt, denim skirt, black flats.
Metallic flats
Pink circle skirt cherry-picked from a Dumpster
Gray knit top cut into a scoopneck, over a black tee
Handmade necklace purchased at Pitchfork
And that's just what you can see ; )
Ill-fitting shoes. I have tissue stuffed in the toe to keep the heel from slipping, which I learned from a cross-dressing website.
Other than that, long jeans that my ill-fitting shoes make possible to wear. And my standard black kimono-sleeved tshirt.
Desert boot chukkas (tan suede)
Black Carhartt carpenter shorts. A brown leather belt from Filson and a blue oxford long sleeve shirt from LL Bean.
I could have given the same answer 20 years ago
Out my welcome...
Navy blue Oxford University hoodie, blue jeans (Wranglers, yee haw) and Birkenstocks. I love my job.
I'm also wearing a smile..b/c you're never fully dressed without one and I'm smiling b/c later I can't wait to wear my husband!
Grass green tank top and black yoga pants. And lots of dog hair.
a pleather sweatshirt, a crinoline slip with a green synthetic grass skirt, and a pair of lucite winklepickers. you laugh at me now, but everyone's gonna be wearing this next season. trust.
Black shoes, black pants, grey sweater. I'm a colorful motherf***er.
Stupid sexy Flanders!
crocs, baggy blue jeans, long sleeve t-shirt, and one big yawn while cranking out some drawings...
Nothin' but a smile, baby!
Wait a minute...uhhh, who's asking??? Oh jeez.
Ugh. Essentially the same thing I wear every other day of the week: Dickies, a beater and some dirt. Though today I have a long sleeve OVER the beater. Layers! Squee!
Max Studio dress (v neck, black w/off white circle pattern), black Kate Spade low (chrome) heeled sandals. Betsey Johnson necklace.
Today, I am the high fashion teacher!
Clothes that highlight the necklace my fiance gave me yesterday in honor of the first day we met.
dark blue polka dot shirt and striped black/white pants. black flats. big earrings.
