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!

"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!

Minimum Exposure

Minimum exposure meaning my shins are out and so are part of my forearms!!! They have come out of hiding from the winter sweaters and coats, it's crazy! Thank you 60+ degree weather, it was nice that you visited even though it was too windy to take pictures outside. Oh well, can't get too greedy.

The Shrunken Head Circle Skirt by The Oblong Box Shop was featured here and despite my disappointment with the material, it's still a fun skirt to wear. I paired the skirt with a black 3/4 length sleeve top (Target), enamel creeper pin (Last Craft designs, featured here), assorted bracelets and zebra creepers (eBay). 

On Monday my friend and hair wizard Bryan, helped me to bleach away my nasty-lookin' roots and tone my hair to a silvery lavender. I got a trim and my side buzzed down and I feel refreshed! It's amazing how a little pampering can may you feel so good. 

Shout out to Wet n' Wild's Megalast Lipstick color Spiked with Rum. The megalast lipstick, when used with a lip primer, stays put for me all day.

Thank you for reading, until next time!

(click on bold text to link to products)

Ahhhhhh! I can't tell you how excited I was when peaked at Last Crafts Designs etsy shop and found the creeper pin. My favorite shoes and an awesome pun, SOLD! But then, I squealed when I saw the Siouxsie Sioux eyes pin, *cue montage of me dancing all over the house*, and ordered without a second thought. You will see these pins in up coming blog posts, I'm a very happy gal.

Thank you for reading, until next time!

So Many Spider Webs

I thought I could go another day without washing my hair. Nope. By the time I done showering, gettting dressed and sat down at my dressing table for hair/make-up it was too late. I was in the gross-hair zone. Dun, dun, dunnnnn! So I threw on a bandana, which also happens to have spider webs on it, thus so many spider webs. (Like that's really a bad thing!) PS-I am wearing my new spiked creepers by TUK, a great eBay purchase. 

I'm finally getting to be able to wear this Hell Bunny dress that I modified from a halter to a regular across the shoulder strap. It's a bit of a pain in the butt, but it's always worth it for my comfort and the ability to be able to wear a regular bra. Of course, the straps are covered with this little thrifted cropped cardigan, but it's still too chilly to expose my shoulders. Admittedly it's been a bit odd having so much skin exposed after this brutal winter we've had in Buffalo. 

The "bat" sunglasses were purchased from eBay last year. I just had to have them, even though they are a little odd to wear. Derek said I looked like a super hero, hahaha!!!!

And then the wind came......

One good reason why I wear shapewear and/or bike shorts under my dresses!

I was having a bit of fun...

I hope you have a great Thursday!

A Favorite Shirt, New Shoes

I'm pretty happy to be going to my hair appointment, even though it appears that I'm miserable. Hehe!

This over-sized chiffon button up top from Forever 21 is high on the favorite list of separate's in my closet. It's breezy and pairs well with skirts and bottoms like these black bermunda shorts from New York & Company. I had searched high and low at the mall (three years ago) for walking shorts and was thankful when I found these. Derek is such a patient and encouraging shopping partner as he saw me go from store-to-store feeling defeated. I have to say I'm not looking to wear hip hugger booty shorts and I'm not looking to wear elastic band khaki shorts, so where's the middle ground? Who makes Misses clothing that fit well, is fashionable and doesn't make me look/feel like I should be eating a fish sandwich and drinking a Sanka at McDonald's?! 

I'm being dramatic, but I digress. 

Shoe's make me happy. Yes, yes they do. These zebra creepers by MIA are the most comfortable shoes I have bought in a long time. Thank you eBay for making my closet explode with shoes, but at a $2.99 auction win, I'll just have to come up with some creative storage ideas.

Happy Hump Day!

Thank you for hanging out with me!

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Dress

A few weeks ago I picked up this cute little dress from H&M that reminded me of twinkling lights. It's a layered hi-lo chiffon fabric dress that seems more summer than winter, yet I layered it with a long sleeve top, cozy sweater and leggings to make it cold weather approved. I'm even rockin' my trusty old studded creepers that were fixed on my recent trip to Mr. Jimmy the magical cobbler. Oh, how I missed my old friends!

My hair is seriously out of control, over grown and in desperate need of a hair cut. I just want it out of my face. Sigh. I know in these situations I need to take a step back before I shave all my hair off and cry. Hahahahaha!

Thank you for reading!

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! : Burgundy Suede Leopard Print Creepers

I have a love affair with the creeper style of shoes, and I am realizing that I've featured this style the most for my Shoes! OMG! Thursday. If you're not familiar with the history of the creeper or brothel creeper, check out the wiki link for a brief summary of my favorite style of shoes. The triple sole Burgundy Suede Leopard Print Creepers by Underground made my heart skip a beat, as not only are they slightly ugly, they are mostly awesome. Hehe. 

What is your favorite style of shoe?

Shoes! OMG! : Bettie Page Oxford Creeper Wedges

I had mixed feelings when I saw the Bettie Page Oxford Creeper Wedges by Ellie Shoes, mostly due to the fact that these shoes are both amazing and pretty damn tacky. Oh! did I mention I love tacky? *Wink* I could see this shoe style paired with a nice pencil skirt and top, a cute (but creepy) babydoll dress or with a pair of jeans for everyday. I love creepers, so I think I may need to add these beauties to my shoe collection.
