Superfliers

On me: Jacket: Target | Necklace: J.Crew | Top: Urban Outfitters | Skirt: JCPenney | Flats: Payless
On K: Cardigan: Dots | Tank: Walmart | Pants: Dots | Shoes: Shoe Show | Necklace: This and That

K. and I braved (very mild) rain to take these pictures. It also took us a million tries to take a coordinated jumping picture. WORTH IT.

Anti-nautical

Cardigan: Target | Dress: Gap Outlet | Belt: off a skirt from Kohl's | Wedges: Payless | Lips: Nars Heatwave over Chapstick

I considered making an attempt at today's EBEW, which is nautical, but then I tried a few things and they are currently in a pile on my bed so that tells you how that turned out. So I wore this instead. Ta da!

Guest post party at Salazar's blog!

I'll be posting my outfit photos later tonight, but for now, I'm over at 14 Shades of Grey doing my first ever guest post! It is a very seriously serious discussion of luggage. Go take a peek and I'll see you later tonight!

Style Imitating Art: Bigger Trees Near Warter by David Hockney

It's Style Imitating Art time! This week's inspiration was the massive Bigger Trees Near Warter by David Hockney. Here we go!





Vivienne of Thrifted Shift sent in two outfits for the painting. She said I could cut one but I love them both, and together they're awesome and a perfect representation of the art!





First of all, Pat's new to SIA so a warm welcome to her! Second, is this not brilliant? She made the painting her backdrop. So creative. I absolutely love it.



And my always lovely co-creator, Salazar, who is moving halfway across the planet this week. I hope you have the easiest travels, Salazar! (And I hope you're pattern-mixing all the way there!)



Shirt: Target | Belt: JCPenney | Skirt: Kohl's | Sandals: Ross | Cat (below): Hera

Lastly, here is my blurry self, regretting accidentally leaving the receiver for my remote on all night. :( Oh well, you get the point of the outfit. Everyone did a great job this week! Thank you all for participating!

Some dresses

Dress: Gap | Belt: Target | Flats: Banana Republic

Some dresses just work better without shoes. Some dresses also work better in the boiling heat. Some dresses go to the vet and end up with a little bit of cat plasma on them. Some dresses respond very well to Tide To Go. Some dresses are loved by coworkers and patrons and moms alike, and some dresses look modest without looking matronly. Some dresses are made of the Fabric of Our Lives. Some dresses have flutter sleeves that actually flutter. Some dresses fit just right, and some dresses harness the wind & flit the skirt to and fro. Some dresses are white. Some dresses cost $13 at the local Gap Outlet.

But only one dress is all of these things. It's some dress.

Evil stare

Top: Anthropologie | Skirt: Gap | Flats: Payless | Cat: Hera

can't talk, too busy watching revenge (Nolan has the best style everything)

I don't do nothing but take pictures of myself

Above: the book I am currently reading.

I've been under the weather today (sore throat, headache, hating life, etc.) and I bummed around work in trouser jeans and a nominally stylish tee, so I thought I'd show some "lifestyle" shots instead. AKA a bunch of random pictures that find their way onto my memory card between outfit shoots.



It's about time to make another necklace rack, I think.



My poor saddle, languishing under pads and dust.



Baby L. just chillin' at the Gap.



Our front door--my dad just installed full length shutters to cover the side panel windows.



Some fuzzy (painless!) sticker burrs that I found on my skirt.



Just a little testing. This exact design is too busy (and black; I want varying shades of blue) but it's on the right track.



Me and my new (to me) car, Pontius Prius.



My pink elephant necklace, which is rapidly increasing in popularity.



And my horse, being a total goober. If you look closely, you can see there is a tooth missing! The peril of getting long in the tooth is that eventually they just fall out.

I should be back tomorrow with outfit pictures!
