Leggings and Boots Make Me Happy

I was pretty excited to pull on a pair of leggings and slip into my engineer boots. I know I'm pushing for Autumn weather and I know I'll regret wishing for colder temps once it starts snowing. Oh well, I'm just jonsing for layers, layers and more layers! 

I love these Skinny Puppy leggings. The imagery and artwork spans the bands career.

Picture leggings can be purchased here.

My onyx crystal disappears into my t-shirt dress, but I still wear it often. Not only is onyx my favorite gemstone (my engagement ring is onyx), but it helps to keep negative energy away. So, it's not just a pretty thing to wear. *Wink*.

Wearing; t-shirt dress (Forever 21), skinny puppy leggings, leather engineer boots (Target online), tombstone necklace (borrowed from Derek), onyx crystal (etsy), pewter bone hoops (Martha Rotten)

Thank you for reading, until next time!

Picture Leggings : Skinny Puppy

Seems like I'm on an industrial kick this week! I was very pleased with the cooler weather on Monday, as it allowed me to wear these Skinny Puppy Picture Leggings. I ordered these as soon as they popped up on my Facebook newsfeed. A little bit of a compulsive buy, yet I'm glad I snatched these up!

I have a lot of leggings and have bought I love of screen printed items, so I wasn't sure what to expect with the fit and design. I was hoping that they would be properly printed fabric, so that the design would stretch with the fabric and it does! It so gloriously does! All the images are clear and the fit is perfect (I ordered a Medium) as the waist band doesn't rest on my hips, they sit comfortable slightly below my natural waist. 

I don't wear a lot of band t-shirts (though I own so many!), so leggings or other band-related items work much better being incorporated into my outfits.

What I'm wearing:

+lace dress: thrift

+black onyx crystal necklace: Queen of Jackals

+picture leggings: Skinny Puppy 

+cross belt: Forever 21 (old)
+sunglasses: Cats Like Us

I Dream of Shoes : I Like the Katherine Engineer Boots

I had featured the Katherine Engineer boots a while ago on Shoe Thursday and these boots have been on my mind ever since. I ordered the boots in a size 7.5 and they are a perfect fit, no pinching or rubbing and are comfortable even before insoles-I always put insoles in my shoes. I wasn't expecting much at the $69.99 price tag, but I was willing to take the risk on these leather boots. Not only are they exactly what I wanted to add to my shoe wardrobe, but I'm impressed with the quality and how easy they are to wear. I'm happy with my purchase, very happy. *Big smiles*

Sophistique Noir's Monthly Theme : Hosiery

Ms. Victorian Kitty's theme for November is hosiery (it's crazy that it's November 1st already!) and I sure do love leg wear! I have so many different kinds, but I choose a few looks/styles that I wear often as I find leg wear really expands my wardrobe. I also decided to show off some shoes that I had to have which get neglected, girl fail. 

Little cross bones that run up the front and back of my legs, paired with my red spiked booties.

PS-These shoes are so uncomfortable, I was terribly wrong about them. Sigh.

I love lace stockings, I think they make any ladies legs look sexy. I paired them with my sky high

7" heels. These shoes are a tiny bit too small, but actually easy to walk in.

Garters paired with over-the-knee socks. I usually layer this look with fishnet under the socks, but 

I thought Robert and Siouxsie looked funny being muzzled.

My gorgeous Jeffrey Campbells, gift from Derek. I NEED to wear them!

Haha! Hello, I have next to no makeup on and I'm using my hair as a face decor.

I'm wearing my favorite leg wear look, leggings paired with slouch socks and wearing a dorky smile.

What is your favorite leg wear?

Casual Look of the Day: Happy Fall Equinox!

Ahhhhhh, Autumn is in the air. The stores are putting out Halloween and Thanksgiving Day merchandise, Starbucks is serving their pumpkin latte's and the smell of cinnamon permeates through the craft stores. I love Autumn, yet it goes by too quick in neck of woods and then it's dreaded winter. Blech.

I dove into my fall/winter storage boxes under my bed and pulled out the long sleeves, the sweaters and winter leggings. Believe it or not, I don't own that many clothes, so it wasn't huge piles to go through as my closet doesn't get a full rotation like some of my girlfriends wardrobes. The sundresses, short sleeve tops do get stored away for the season, along with the bathing suits and Tiki gear.

One my favorite everyday fall tops, thrift store buy for $2

I also realized I'm not wearing much jewelry as I'm running to Target.

Those damn geometric leggings are new from Forever 21-$8.50. I went to their website and loved them and then made a trip to the store (a few weeks ago) to find them, I asked 3 sales people and they had no clue. D'oh! On Monday I forced myself to go buy some jeans (I HATE pants shopping) and these babies were hanging in a corner. See, it was meant to be!

Oh and about my pants shopping, I was "successful" in buying a pair of cheap-o stretchy jeans from Forever 21 (they are jeggings, but I hate saying that word. Ick. Ick. Ick.).  I really needed something that would pass for pants and I've bought the style before which surprisingly lasted for quite a while, perhaps its predecessor's will be winners too. Gosh, I hate buying pants/jeans, did I mention that before?

Do you do a complete wardrobe change over from season to season?

Leggings, Leggings, Everywhere!

One of my favorite wardrobe staples are leggings, I would even go as far to say that I'm a little obsessed with them. My love of leggings was spawned in the 80s when I would rock my pink glittery cat sweaters with matching pink leggings to school. Though my days of cat sweaters are over, I still love leggings and this blog is dedicated to the current trend of patterned leggings. Remember what I say about a trend, benefit from the trend by purchasing items when they are readily available!

Step this way and drool with me while I internet window shop!

These leggings are brutal by Actual Pain. The Sixth Seal (left) and Pentangled (right) leggings come with a steep and satanic price tag of $42, yet it's a small price to pay when summing the dark forces. Hehe!

I adore the Pippi Leggings in Poppy Red by Carousel Ink. The leggings are silk screened with orignal artwork inspired by Pippi Lockstocking. I like that these leggings are 95% cotton as I find cotton leggings the most comfortable to wear. These beauties are $28, what a steal for such a unique piece!

One store that has a huge variety of leggings is the Only Leggings Superstore. Prices seem to range from $12 to $55. I've never ordered from them as most of the leggings are a polyester blend, but there are so many awesome choices! Take a look!

Oh my! I've got the leggings itch and you think that after cleaning and organizing my closet I'd be satisfied......nahhhhhh. 

Do you wear leggings? If so, what are your favorite pair?

Casual Look Of The Day : Stitches

I'm wearing my newest addition to my growing collection of patterned leggings. The Stitch Leggings were purchased from hottopic.com, that's right, HOT TOPIC! Before you blast and condemn me for buying things from this store that seems to drive controversy amongst the goths, punks, etc., I don't care. I shop wherever I like and purchase things that suit my style and taste, besides these are just pretty sweet leggings! At a $22.50 price tag, I was pretty pleased with the price and I like the fit and quality. Though the website does not label the leggings, I was surprised when I saw a Lip Service tag on the inside of the leggings! 

Picture Right: Drinking out of my coffin flask while giving the
metal claw

I purchased a size medium in the leggings, and I believe they run pretty true to size according to their size chart. I paired the leggings with an over size button-up top to cover my bum, as we all should know that leggings are not a replacement for pants....cover your ass ladies!
