Striped Vest with Gauchos

I got the back of my calf tattooed (a piece I've been putting off getting finished), so I needed to wear loose fitting bottoms that wouldn't rub or drag on my legs. I opted to wear my gauchos which first appeared in the "That's Not a Skirt?!" blog. These darn things are so comfortable! I forget what's it like to not wear such fitted clothing like jeggings and leggings, especially when I was a wide leg pants wearer from mid 90s to early 2000s.

I'm wearing a basic black tank top tucked into the gauchos, a 3/4 length sleeve light cotton sweater and my cropped black and white striped vest. Add some pointy shoes, a thin studded belt, layered cross necklace and coffin earrings, and this completes my look!

On a totally random note, I think I may have developed a severe sensitivity to hair bleach. Though my friend only used a soap cap on me (shampoo+bleach) to lighten this time, I'm still dealing with a painful itchy scalp. I am going to try a treatment he suggested using cholesterol hair conditioning cream. Yes, I also reacted with "WTF?" when he first said "cholesterol". Artery hardening anyone? Hahaha, just kidding! So, I'm going to give the treatment a try and cross my fingers in hopes of a solution.

Outfit of the Day : Vampira in Stripes

Okay, well Vampira is not literally in stripes...I am! I wore this outfit to work on Saturday and it was my first time wearing the striped vest, I keep telling myself I need to leave this one alone. Hehe! Who am I kidding, I have so many other personal DIY projects to finish first!

I featured the Vampira top by Kreepsville 666 on a past Kitsch Picks, though you can't see the full design, the top reads "Vampira's Ghoul Gang". I love it!

What I'm wearing:

-black & white stripe vest, Sourpuss Clothing

-Vampire top, Kreepsville 666

-skirt, zooshoo.com

-legging, Forever 21

-creepers, Demonia (old)

Derek and I are getting ready to move in the next few weeks, so our apartment is a little chaotic at the moment, but it's a good time to get more organized! I've been looking through the ikea catalog and making lists of organizational opportunities that can be tackled in the new place. I am dreading what lies in the basement storage. Dun, dun, dunnn!!!!

Thank you for reading!
