Stripes and Leather -- Oh My!

Yesterday and today I think I was dressed by my former French self. Have I mentioned that I'm convinced I was French in a former life yet?

This morning I was a bit unsure if something that shows my bum so well was work appropriate. I got more concerned when I passed and old man on the corner who proclaimed, "Good God, almighty!" But, I was already late for work and didn't have time to change. Plus, I felt damn chic.

I got tons of compliments on my outfits. I guess people are starting to notice I actually care how I look at work these days and appeciate the effort. I must have looked really bad before or something. lol...

I wish I could live in leggings and tight stretchy skirts and I suppose I could, but my job wouldn't like it. One of the women who works on another floor was told not to wear leggings to work because they were not "office appropriate." This comes from a woman with a faux organge tan, super overly processed bleached blond hair, who always tries to wear as much of the same color at one time as is humanly possible. Life's little ironies can be quite amusing, no?

Easter Attire

I am not religious. I am spiritual though. That said, here is what I wore today, Easter Sunday. The weather was BEAUTIFUL for the first time in a bit, so I thought that the kids and I would walk to Safeway rather than drive to Trader Joe's and stop by Blockbuster. Seemed like a good idea at the time...

Six bags and a hard to push stroller later (not even mentioned the "poor her" stares I got) I realized that it's a big ol' joke to try to go grocery shopping with a stroller. LMAO... Ah well, the kids had a blast.

Going for a different look we took pics in the recording studio/office. My husband is a graphic/web designer, DJ and producer. Love those artsy types.

I didn't actually wear the heels or jacket and ended up swapping for some "I wish they were actually" Lanvin ballet flats and it was way too warm for a jacket. This jacket, which I was unsure about when I initially got it, I am now smitten with. Funny how that can happen with clothes just like with some songs you hear on the radio. At first you're like "i dunno..." and then the next thing you know they're your go to item. This jacket is my pop radio song.

Bad Azz Biker Sick

I was really sick for quite some time. On Friday I decided I'd had enough of sweats and tee-shirts and so I wore this ensemble.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about the jacket, but the hubby has convinced me to keep it because he's convinced I can do cute things with it. What do you think?

The Flu Makes Me Shop

I don't know why, but the flu makes me shop... or at least that's my excuse for the following damage:

leather jacket from Bona Drag and a ring from there as well...

and from AA a skirt, two pairs of the Prada inspired footless socks, and a basic top...

and some vintage flat black boots from eBay...

and a really cute tunic from eBay...

I'm already feeling better. Who needs antibiotics when there are cute things to be purchased!
