Some Weekly Work Outfits

Hello friends! Just some outfits I've worn to work this week. Trying to dress for weather that has been Spring-like, but still has a chilly breeze that has been chilling me to the bone!

I purchased the handmade felt Star Trek Next Generation Combadge pin from a local artisan Lumpy Buttons. Check out her etsy shop here. The pin reminds me of watching the show with my Father, so it makes me smile. (Psssst-I love Jean-Luc Picard and The Borg)

Wearing; sweater and lace t-shirt (H&M), red atomic space skirt (Steady Clothing), lace tights (Leg Avenue), comfy Mary Janes (T.J. Maxx) combadge (Lumpy Buttons)

Yeah, I wear a lot of black and white. I've gotten over it. I like what I like and I won't be stopping any time soon. Hahaha!!!

I finally got a chance to incorporate this layered chain necklace into an outfit. I purchased the necklace from Romwe.com several months ago. I usually don't order from websites like Romwe, but I really wanted this sweatshirt and took the risk in ordering. I didn't have any issues, didn't take a long time to get to me, yet I don't think ordering from Asian fashion websites is for me.

Wearing; shirtdress (eShakti), vest with patches sewn on my me (Sourpuss Clothing), belt (thrift), necklace (Romwe.com), pewter bone hoop earrings (Martha Rotten), boots (Dr. Martens via ebay)

I also wanted to take a quick moment and say thank you for all your support, comments and conversations we have on this blog. I really don't feel very supported at times (though Derek is my rock!), especially with all that I have done on previous or on-going projects. Sorta been feeling a little defeated lately, so even though this is just a 'silly little blog', it is important to me and so are all of you. 

Thank you for reading, until next time!

2015 Black & White

I was reviewing my pinterest boards and there was one blaringly obvious theme of 2015, black and white. Though it's not entirely a surprise to me as I love black and white as a clothing combo and gravitate towards black and white graphics, patterns and designs.

It's pretty cool to put photos in groupings and review what outfits I wore throughout the year. I really enjoy seeing my blogger friends do a year in review, so I thought I would join in the fun!

What was your favorite clothing combo in 2015?

Thank you for reading!

Haunt Cardigan by Hell Bunny

Welcome to my bar area/living room! I'm wearing this totally rad Haunt cardigan by Hell Bunny. I snatched this one up at work during our influx of Halloween wear. Every year Hell Bunny makes at least one cardigan that I can't resist!

Though the front has wonderful white embroidered bats on the front, the haunted house on the back is the 'wow' factor. I love the way the one bat is breaking through the moon and is half black and half white. Pretty neat detail.

How many bat items do I have in my closet? A lot. Is that a problem? Not at all. Hehe!

Most of the photos I don't use for the blog are ones of me just acting like a goof. I really don't take myself seriously. *Wink*

Thank you for reading!!!

Ch-Ch-Ch-Checkers!

Just a little dance since I was happy to not be wearing a sweater. The cheeriness of the Racing Checkers Top by Voodoo Vixen also makes me smile as I'm a big fan of ch-ch-ch-checker print, but didn't find the perfect piece for me until now! 

What's black, white and red haired? 

The black vortex aka my closet has been flipped, I'm ready for warmer weather and I've unloaded a lot of crap that was cluttering up my drawers. I'm feeling light and I'm excited to show off a little skin.

Have a great week!

Bein' A Cemetery Creep

Instagram photo Derek took

On Saturday I got to be a cemetery creep for my friend Zach Rose as he shot some 26 year old expired litho film with his 4x5 camera. Basically he wanted me to "look creepy", which I think I can handle pretty well. Hehe. I decided to take my velvet cape that Derek got for me out for a spin, though it was 80+ degree weather, I think it was worth it for the desired effect. It was a little windy that day, so the cape was blowing in the wind and I was singing "Bela Lugosi's Dead" and acting like a Vampire (more like a silly girl) in-between shots.

Here's the result after processing the 26 year old expired film. Pretty cool huh? I absolutely love black and white film processing, I did experiment a lot in high school and through some of college (sadly I never got my degree) as I wanted to be a photographer. It's definitely still an interest and a casual hobby of mine, but I'm always honored to be asked to participate in such neat artistic endeavors. 

Thanks for reading!
