  • Courage Level: Crop Top

    I bought this crop top from Eloquii a while ago assuming that it would be a normal top on my infinitely short torso. Not so. Legit skin belt action happening. Below is the dry run. I had indeed lucked out because I just bought these pants which would go onto support many other crop tops…

  • Shut yo mouth.

    I was in San Diego a couple of weeks ago. A friend picked me up from the airport and immediately said, “We should get lunch but I also have to buy a new pair of shoes, is that OK?” Food and shoes. Hmmm. Let me think about that one. Then she proceeded to warn me…

  • Manic stannic.

    (Stannic means of or containing tin, I was reaching hard for a pun on my metallic shirt. I should have just called Eric Furst.) I almost returned this Simply Be shirt. I was specifically looking for a gold metallic shirt, not gold glitter, not gold sequin. It was listed as gold. It is pewter at…

  • Evening constitutional.

    As much as daylight savings has kicked my ass in the “getting up on time even though it’s dark as shit” department, I am supremely thankful to have evening walks back on the menu. While getting ready to go out on this one, I noticed Vince was wearing the shirt my friend Lizzie gave him…

  • Check Mate.

    It was a bad hair day and my eyeballs were figuratively thirsty little desert planets that instantly sucked the moisture from my contacts, hence the glasses. I gotta say, as much as I love the vintage look on other people, I always have mixed emotions about adding it into my own style repertoire. This is…

  • Ring Around The Rosie

    Circle skirts. For someone who is in the process of becoming a little less circular, this was almost a hard sell for me. Now that I have more of a defined body shape, I really haven’t wanted to cover it up or do anything to make it look bigger because, for once, it would actually…

  • Am I Too Old For Black Lipstick?

    There are so many things I have been meaning to write about. After reading this post from The Anti-Diet Project this morning, I totally wanted to write a response but all I can really get out in an excited sputter is THIS THIS THIS: “…when you’re used to being invisible, it’s startling to suddenly be…

  • I did it. I bought a Fatkini. And I love it.

    So. Quite the way to say hi to y’all after another long absence. But camping trips and summer parties will be here before I know it and it was definitely time for a swim wear upgrade. Or I guess down grade since the issue was needing a smaller size. Don’t get me wrong. Going from…

  • Colorblock Comeback

    Don’t call it a comeback. Call it trying to overcome some major fashion blogger obstacles. One, I am running out of clothes that fit since I’ve lost weight, which is great but UGH. It’s a transition and like all others, it partly just sucks. Two, my hair is doing some fucking weird and crazy things.…

  • Vintage Anniversary

    Hubs and I just celebrated our third wedding anniversary in one of our favorite places, Pismo Beach. We always like to go out to one super fancy dinner and this is THE fancy dress in my closet. Not to say it’s the only one, but it is certainly a fan favorite and a great way…
