Discovering New Things

Last weekend the boyfriend took me to a park in my city. A city that I have lived in my whole life, well in and just outside of ;) Long story short I had never been inside this park. My whole life in a small city and I had never exploded this park. Crazy I know....

Funny enough the park is called Discovery Park. My man constantly surprises me :) Love is so gross ;)

I Need A Doctor

I recently got these new Dr. Martins and I pretty much haven't taken them off. They are so comfortable it is crazy! Plus I'm a top secret sucker for a floral print, which is what these babies have, all over the inside! Ha, success!

Also I have been collecting tee shirts like crazy from the thrift stores these days..... Just saying!

Ride the Lightening....

I'm having to back log some posts since things have gotten so hectic at work :( But I just couldn't pass up the chance to share these leggings!

I must admit I was not really loving my legging collection as of late, but I think my tune may be changing. I just love these stormy night leggings and may or may not have ordered 2 new pairs from an online site. Now I have to try and wait patiently till they come ;)

Feet Just Feel Like Dancing

I have been eyeing these booties for quite a while now. Chunky Monkey Booties is what I like to call them.... Yeah I'm a nerd. Anyway, I have been waiting and waiting to buy them till they went down to a price I could get on board with, and finally they did! So onto my feet they had to go, and now I just can't stop moving. I want to clomp and stomp all over town..... And I just might ;)

I also have to mention that for some reason I love this striped oversized man tee. It is basically the size of a dress on me but I can't get enough of it. I would probably wear it everyday if the people I work with wouldn't notice. But alas I'm sure they would....

Dark Days

For Christmas my good pal Squill got me these amazing Actual Pain leggings! I was so excited I almost had a real life heart attack.

Also my cat has been wilder than ever! As you can see all he wants is to be in ever photo! He is in fact a maniac.....

Drowned Rat.....

Today everything was grey, the sky, the streets, the rain, basically the whole city. I woke up late and didn't get a chance to dry my hair before I left for work. That plus being in and out of the rain all day made me feel like a drowned rat. Sulking along.....

Which is why I am photo'ing my outfit on the floor, because I have definitely looked better ;) On the bright side I got to wear this beautiful floral floor length skirt. I got it last weekend when I had to sell clothes. Why was I buying anything while I'm beyond broke you might ask? Well because the banks were already closed and I had sold so many clothes at the old Buffalo Exchange they were going to have to write be a check. So in an effort to get under the cash limit they have I had to purchase something. Basically I can justify buying clothes no matter my financial state, sad but true!

Snake Cakes

I just got these cute little snake skin booties and I really can't tell you how much I love them! They are about 4" high so they make me 6'3" which I really enjoy. Plus they are just ugly enough to be amazing.

Not to mention that they are some of the most comfortable booties I have bought in a while. With winter already here I will be wearing these beauties a lot!

Crazy Legs.

I bought these sheer  printed wide leg pants a while back and finally worked them into the rotation this week. Now when I say rotation  you may think that there is some sort of weird order to when I wear my clothes. This really could not be more untrue. I am a mood dresser and it is actually really hard for me to find the right days to wear some of my freshly bought items. That being said, these pants finally got to walk in the real world this week.

I know you can barely see it in the pictures but the pants are actually kind of sheer. They have black shorties sewn in, which actually dyed my legs a bit when I wore them. But whatever. I my fancy pants with a black ribbed henley tank, a cropped By Corpus sweater, cowboy boots, and my favorite leather jacket. I had to keep my outfit fairly basic and comfy because I wore them to my day job and things have been pretty hectic lately. I feel like I will enjoy these babies a lot more in the summer when it finally gets warm....

Too Many Coats.

So a while back I bought this Spiewak military jacket. I already have millions of jackets and really didn't need another one. But this jacket was originally $119 but had been marked all the way down to $9.99!!!!! I am not the kind of girl that can ever say no to a deal that good. Even if I don't need the item I can't help but buy if the deal is that good. Even though I didn't need a new military jacket I could definitely use a military vest ;)

I actually like the vest way better than I liked the jacket. Plus after cutting off the sleeves there is this great raw edge around where the sleeves used to be. I added a scarf to this outfit before I left the house to go sell clothes. Sometimes a girl has to sell clothes to eat. Or a could just learn how to budget, but let's get real, that's a ways off.

Cheap Date

I just got this new Cheap Monday dress and really couldn't love it more. It is a light knit fabric which is perfect for the warm weather we have finally had in Seattle. It's been in the high 70's all week! Finally!

But me being who I am, I couldn't help but layer up a bit.... A girl at work showed me how to tie a scarf so you can wear it like a cape situation. Pretty tricky, huh? I also had to pull on a mens Insight denim shirt just in case I got the chills ;)

Squimming.....

About a month ago I went with my family to see my Aunt who lives in Squim. Squim is a town just a ways outside of Port Angeles on the peninsula of Washington state. It is a quite little place that gets barely any rain and has amazing outdoor sites.

Something about being out on the peninsula where there are a lot less people and a lot more open land makes me just feel better about life.

Back from the wreck...

I have been gone a long time and am quite sorry. I have been having a sorted personal life situation and moved into my own place. It also took weeks to get my internet hooked back up. But enough of all the excuses... I have had a very pleasant weekend and thought now that I'm settled it's time to get back online. I had to sell clothes yesterday to get some cash to tide me over till payday, but me being the clothes hoarder that I am had to trade for a few new items to take back home with me. I got this striped denim vest for a steal and just had to wear it right away.

                            This is our beautiful pal Alex, she has the cutest hair on earth.

Good thing my pal Squill was having a BBQ so I had somewhere to wear it to. Squill and B-Rock (her man) have a beautiful roof top deck that is the perfect place on a Summer evening. It was quite nice to see pals and have some cocktails. Things are looking up ;)

I wore:
- Striped denim vest from Buffalo Exchange
- Vintage lace cami from my Mother
- Long black skirt from Urban Outfitters
- The usual pile of jewels and gems
