Dot Dot Dash

I am so giddy I have an outfit for these pumps! For high heels, they're really comfortable. The dress is another Gwinnie Bee loan, and I'm really enjoying my membership so far. They have pants for rent now, but I'm not too sure I want to borrow things like jeans. We'll see. The evenings are so beautiful here, and this was a perfect Saturday night out. I'm a train ride away from Oakland and San Fran (I enjoy the latter much more); in fact, I almost requested my husband do the photo shoot on the train. My confidence isn't quiiiiiiiiiite there yet, though!

Plaid To Be Here

Pretty soon it's going to be too warm to wear this outfit during the day, so I'm wearing the heck out of it now. The dress has pockets. POCKETS! I know it's not feasible for every dress, but I still think pockets need to be a regular feature on more dresses. I don't know what's going on with my hair. I was mostly trying to get it off my neck and out of my face. Plus, it's day-old hair and I can't wear it down. I have to run errands this afternoon, and I've decided I'm just rolling with the messy 'do. It's Friday and I can't make myself care. Have a great weekend, everyone!

The Birds Remind Me

I was reluctant, but I finally decided to jump on the '90s fashion revival bandwagon. This is something I easily could have worn in high school, right down to the dress's bird print. I'm also digging the metal zipper; I like little details like an interesting zipper. The oxfords are my favorite part; they conjure up so much nostalgia for all those chunky 1990s shoes! Should I get a pair of creepers next? Hmm....

What's Op?

I love optical art. When I was growing up, my dad had op-art coloring books, and his favorite color scheme was yellow and black. I wanted to color as well as my dad, but at age five, you can guess how well that worked for me. I took two art classes in high school, and the only part I excelled at was optical illusions. Well, that and weaving. Don't ask about ceramics; that was, let's just say... a mess. However, drawing lines in all directions and then coloring them in such a way that made my eyes cross was such a thrill!

Now, imagine my enthusiasm discovering this dress. I do believe I squealed when I saw it. I knew right away that I had to pair it with a bright yellow purse for the ultimate contrast. Thanks, Dad!
