Glad To Be Back in My "Uniform"

I'm a 'weather watcher' when it comes to checking the weather in order to determine how to dress, because in Buffalo it can go from 80+ degrees (Sunday-Wednesday) to 65 degrees (Thursday) and then waking up to 47 degrees on Friday. So yeah, I gotta check to make sure I won't sweat my face off or freeze my buns off. Hahahaha!!!!!

I was so excited about the cooler weather that I jokingly said, "Which black sweater should I wear today?!". Seeing as I haven't rotated my closet yet, I choose the long sweater (H&M) that I throw over most things. I loooooooooove over size long sweaters or my 'old lady/man sweaters' that I so lovingly dubbed them. I think my over size sweater obsession started with stealing my Dad's burgundy cardigan while in mid school and claiming it for my own.  (BTW-the 90s are back in full force. Over size sweaters galore!)

I called this post, "Glad To Be Back in My Uniform", as I feel so cozy and comfortable in a; button up shirt, leggings or fitted pants, silver jewelry combo and topped off with boots or creepers. Default mode is happy mode! Hahahaha!!! PS- My new TUK loafer creepers are AMAZING!

Oh yeah, over size sweaters make for great bat poses. Weeee!

Do you have a "uniform" type outfit that makes you feel the most comfortable?

Red and Black Striped Jacket

Hello friends!!! What's shakin? Things have been going well for me with the transition to the tattoo shop as well as focusing on my etsy shop. I've been having a bit of fun getting dressed as of late, been sorting through the closet and accessories as well my shoe closet. One article that needs more love is this red and black striped jacket that I've had for quite a few years. It's an old Hell Bunny jacket, which is actually labeled "Mercy".

Add a few pins and buttons to the lapels and Voila! 

I'm happy that Spring is here and for a bit warmer weather. What I'm not too excited about it realizing I need some new Summer clothing as a lot of my clothing is very worn out and looking ratty. Sometimes I hate shopping as I just can't seem to find new dresses and staple pieces. Ugh!!!!!! 

Anywho, have a great Thursday and a great weekend! Miss you all!

Thank you for reading, until next time!

We'll Miss You

Thank you for the awesome photo Jen!

A few friend's surprised Melanie with a party to wish her well with her new job and move to New Jersey. It's bittersweet for Melanie as she really didn't want to have to move, yet it's a great opportunity for her. My friend that I have know for 17 years, we've been through a lot together and may not always see eye-to-eye, yet always have a lot of love for each other. I will miss her, yet I'm looking forward to some Skye antics that will hopefully not make her so homesick.

We had the party at Victory Studios, where our friend Luke has his photography studio. Luke and his wife Erin put together the surprise and they did a great job on a last minute shindig. Luke thoughyfully set up a photo booth and snapped some photos for Melanie to have, unfortunately a few a of the friend's had to leave before the photos happened. 

There was this amazing throne prop that I had to take a photo sitting on it. I felt like a queen! 

I wore a basic knit dress that has made it's first appearance on this blog and has become a wardrobe staple. I was basically running from work to the party, so I picked something that would be truly comfortable all day and it was a great choice!

Wearing; dress (eShakti), necklace (made by Derek), polka dot scarf and dangle coffin earrings (Sourpuss Clothing), beaded bracelets (thrifted), studded creepers (TUK).

I tend to forget to include my handbags in my outfit posts as I am a 'one bag' sorta gal. I just switched out my crossbody bag and am using a fun Halloween print bag that is made by Dungaree Dolly. I love the green!!!

Melanie, you will be missed, but I'm happy for you to start this new chapter in your life. 

Thank you for reading, until next time!

"You Look Very Hell Bunny Today"

Is what Julie Ann said to me when I first got to work last week Thursday. Yeah, it just sorta happened that way. I was planning on wearing a different skirt, but the outfit just morphed into a Hell Bunny-centric outfit. 

I own a lot by Hell Bunny due to working at a store that sells the brand and I'm a fan of kitschy and creepy clothing items, so it works for me! I have to admit this skirt is not my favorite due to the very narrow waist band making it hard to wear a belt without covering up the bat pockets. The skirt is adorable and I have the dress that is from the same line, but it's one of those garments that's not 100% comfortable (for me) while working all day.

Wearing; cardigan (Hell Bunny), Vampiress skirt (Hell Bunny), 80s-tastic earrings and bead necklace (thrift), spiked creepers (TUK Shoes).

I live for when Hell Bunny comes out with their Halloween line of cardigans. I think I might have a slight problem, especially when you realize you need a plain black (long sleeve, non-cropped) cardigan in your wardrobe.....some day. Hahahaha!!!

Warning: Hell Bunny's buttons pop off easily, so be prepared to sew!

Thank you for reading, until next time!

I Dream of Shoes : Studded Red Tartan Creepers by TUK Shoes

I think Tartan is pretty rad on others and I love creepers, so the Studded Tartan Red Plaid Tartan Low Sole Creepers get my vote for this shoe Thursday.

I think I've been listening to too much of The Exploited. Hahaha! *Wink*

Outfit of the Day : Lucy Fur Leggings

I was so excited that I received my Lucy Fur Leggings from Sourpuss Clothing. For some reason the shipping took almost two weeks, so I was a little worried that the package got lost, but it was totally worth the wait....I love these leggings!

I was doing a happy dork dance before I went to work on Friday, as the leggings are not only cute, but they are super stretchy and comfy. My only complaint is that the waist elastic band gets easily twisted and I should have ordered a smaller size. Oh vintage Halloween print, how I love thee!

What I'm wearing:

-dress, Forever 21

-sweater, Cartel Ink

-leggings, Sourpuss Clothing

-creepers, T.U.K Shoes

Have a great weekend, thank you for reading!

Outfit of the Day : Going Out With the Gals

I wore this outfit last night to meet up with my fine lady friends for some drinks. It was nice to get out for a little, sip some tasty beverages and catch up with the lady gang. Cue : "This is Ladies Night"

I was feeling pretty cute, especially after spending days looking like a scrub with not putting too much energy to put into my appearance. I don't think I need to put make-up on to wash the floor and scrub the bathroom, they don't seem to mind that I'm half eyebrow-less, wearing a mismatched ensemble and walking around with shoes that have a giant hole in them. *Wink*

-sweater, Forever 21

-top, from Julie Ann

-belt, from Julie Ann

-skirt, zooshoo.com

-leggings, Target

-creepers, TUK Shoes

-lipstick, Medusa by NYX cosmetics

I hope everyone is enjoying their week!

Shoes! OMG! : Pointed Buckle Creepers by TUK Shoes

Empty room in new apartment equals a photo op

What do you get when you take a creeper mixed with a pointy boot and add buckles? A very, VERY happy me! Thank you TUK Shoes for making these lovely creations and to think Derek thought I was crazy for loving these and now he is thinking about getting a pair. Muahahaha! 

I picked up the Black Leather Pointed Creepers at hottopic.com on a random 30% off sale day. Their website is so weird, one day something will be full price, then half off, then back to full price! What the? Okay, back to the creepers.....

Thrift store dress $3

The creepers are great as I love the style and the low sole, but I will warn those with wide feet-these are not for you-they are very pointed and even a little tight in the toe for me and my narrow feet. It's going to painful breaking these babies in, ouch already! 

Happy Shoes! OMG! Thursday!

Shoes! OMG! : A8220L Black and Red Kiss Rocket Heel

Ohhhh these have lips on them! I have a 'thing' for anything with a lip pattern, I think it's because I get a kick out of those red lip couches and lip phones from the 80s. Kitschy is as kitschy does! The A8220L Black and Red Kiss Rocket Heel is just too cute with the bow detail, ankle strap and the polkadot pattern which also ties into the Curious Professor Z's monthly homework assignment theme, polkadots!

Do you like polkadots?

Shoes! OMG! : Valentine's Day Shoes

Whether you love it or hate it, Valentine's Day is here...today. I personally don't care too much for Valentine's Day-or-I should say I don't put much emphasis on it, but I do love the color red! So this week's Shoes! OMG! is dedicated to red shoes. *Wink*

Do you own any red shoes?
