Travel Song

“Sing a song, yes a travel song, when you gotta go somewhere.”

Well, Beefy and I had many places to go, so we sang along to Sirius XM On Broadway as we drove around Cincinnati. Sadly, the station did not play Travel Song from Shrek: The Musical. But we heard, and sang along with, plenty of other favorites.

80's Misfit

I don’t think I have a 1980’s figure. I’m attempting to rock a vintage sweater, but I really think it’s better suited to someone with broad shoulders and small hips. (I’m just the opposite!)

What do you think? Is there a better way to style this sweater on a pear-shaped figure?

Frustrated, I concealed the troublesome sweater with a cape. But I’d like a better solution!

BFF Bonus

Anyone else a Foursquare addict? Try as I might, Beefy is always at the top of the leaderboard. Still, I try to beat him! We obsessively check in as we run errands, see shows, and eat out. Because we are so often together, I get the BFF bonus at least once a week!

We checked into Westwood Town Hall, and took these pictures.

Time for Leggings

I’m thrilled that it’s finally leggings weather because:
- I can debut these oh-so-awesome leggings with mesh panels
- I can wear this dress without fear of flashing someone

Like 1993

I’ve traveled back through time, space, and fashion. It’s almost like it’s 1993 and I’m back in Washington State, wearing plaid flannel on a cool, gray day.

Only, now, I’m way dorkier. I wouldn’t have believed it possible back in 1993. Isn’t the future amazing?

Two Steps Closer

This probably won’t make much sense if you didn’t read my August Purchases post closely,* but I’m now two steps closer to moving into a VW bus in the southwestern desert.


Dress, Eddie Bauer (thrifted). Scarf, Claire’s. Bag, Nine West. Belt, thrifted. Shoes, American Eagle for Payless. Cuff, antique market. Rings, vintage. Sunglasses, Girl Props.

At the antique market on Sunday, Beefy bought me this turquoise cuff and I also picked up another turquoise ring (on my right index finger).


I also checked out an alternate version of my plan, living in an abandoned railroad building in Cincinnati, but rejected it. Too noisy. (It does, however, appear to have more closet space than a VW bus.)

Schoolboy

This outfit started as an attempt to try two trends: denim on denim and the shorts suit. I had planned to wear my new Lela Rose for Payless wedges, but it rained overnight and I anticipated mud at the antique fair. Instead, I added knee socks and wellies to complete the outfit and ended up with an entirely unexpected look: English Schoolboy. Blimey!

Rap with Me

I’ve never been good with lyrics. I once mistook “simple as that” for “stapled his ass.” I have an even harder time discerning a song's words in a live situation. So, when I went to a rap performance on Saturday night, I had no idea what they were saying. But the Counterfeit Money Machine looked good.

I knew there was no way I’d fit in with a rap crowd, so I didn’t even try to dress appropriately. Surprisingly, there were a number of hipsters in the audience, so my fake glasses did offer a level of camouflage.
