For something less casual...

Please note that I did not include a purse with this outfit. There are 2 reasons for this:

1) I am le tired.

2) People who wear this will either be accessorized with an assistant, a hot man or both, and thus will not need to carry a purse.

Halston dress. McQueen shoes with skulls. Amrita Singh big ass ring and earrings.

Everything costs a lot of money, but of all the things featured here I want the McQueen shoes the most. Mainly because they would cause me to be 6'3" when I go out to parties.

Pegging* with Brogues

So, yeah, about those posts...whoops!

Anywho, recently I have been trying to figure out brogues, and how they work into a wardrobe. If you aren't in the know, brogues are the dudely dress type shoes showing up this fall for us womenz to wear. And I really want to wear them! The problem seems to be with what? So below is my attempt to square the circle, so to speak, into a fall weekend look.

So the only way I can see wearing them is if you peg your jeans or are wearing something with a shorter leg. They could work with a skirt or dress too, but I feel it would need to maybe have a certain feminine flare to counter-act the dudely-ness of the shoes.

Marc by Marc Jacobs sweater. Love it, love the sailor inspired looks going on right now. Love. The jeans are 7 For All Mankind, but I think you could just wear a straight leg jean from anywhere.

Brogues from Steve Madden. I cannot take credit for this next idea (I read it in In Style magazine) but I really like the idea of lacing them with a ribbon instead of the regular laces. It would make them a little more interesting, no?

Um, robot necklace which I found at Mod Cloth? Yes, please! Along with a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag.

Just tie up your hair and hurry out the door to the coffee shop, girl!

I'll probably see you there at the end up September because I will be hunched over a book studying for school...sigh...

*not that kind of pegging, you sicko. I'm talking about your jeans!

Whiskers

This isn't just a beard, this is a set of WHISKERS. On top of a pelt of some kind. The history of Lebanon - pretty fascinating!

Weeeeeeeeeeeee

In getting ready my Fashion Bored post today (two outfits everyone, I'm posting TWO!) I stumbled upon these shoes.

Must.

Have.

I think if I save my pennies these could actually be in reach*. Which, you know, is sort of not the point of me blogging about clothes right now? Right?

*By reach I mean half a month's rent, so it's probably not going to happen. But whatever, the dream is a little more reality based than normal for these.

Yippppeeee!

I'm getting married in exactly four months from today. Four.

That's all.

Happy 90th to the 19th!

This may be a silly blog where silly things are said and done, but we DO vote, no matter how much that scares you!

Ticky Tacky Gum Drops

So I've dropped the ball a bit on Fashion Bored. So sure me!

No wait, don't. I have no monies. Instead, would you settle for this tacky clutch?

I'm predicting rhinestone turtles will beg this fall. . .
