Seven Eleven

"Hushed Existentialist"(MD)

I wore 2 dresses in 2 days to work, more than I've worn in the past 5 years combined.... Unfortunatly without the flash on my camera, I wasn't able to capture these historic occasions.... Today I just had to report about my $2.48 gauchos from Target.

TWO DOLLARS AND FORTY EIGHT CENTS, PEOPLE!!!!

Of course, I have to give credit where credit is due: Corporate Raider picked them out for me. Thank god, I love them, they are so comfortable, and they can go anywhere.



Calvin Klein Butterfly Sleeve Top w/Wooden Bead Detail: $12.50 from Macy's
White Tank by Mossimo from Target: $3.98
Moss Green Gauchos by Mossimo from Target: $2.48
Bronze Huraches by Steve Madden from DSW: $14.99
Capiz Shell Earrings from a Mall Kiosk: $3

I am shiny b/c it was hot as balls outside.

My only complaint about today is the fact that I was ogled. By a manager. It was rather unseemly and uncomfortable. At least I wasn't wearing a dress. But still.

I Saw Heat

Heat. The movie. It came out like 9 years ago. I saw it and now I wanna talk about it. Jim Gaffigan.

Unfortunately I have even less time to update today and even less natural light (ie: none) so try and make out the Ann Taylor Loft cream silk V-neck, the Zinc olive board shorts, the Steve Madden bronze huraches in the darkness....



HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LEGAL EAGLE - we celebrated at Cafe Saint Ex and hopefully she rocked out with some lawyers in bands at the Black Cat. I'm about to crash, I have a big weekend ahead of me. That'll move the chains.

Mexico City

"Hushed Existentialist" (MD)

This morning I woke up feeling like I was in Mexico and I figured why not look like it too? So I paired my super-city gauchos with a peasant top and huraches to create the ultimate in business casual slash fiesta-wear.

White embroidered and embellished peasant top by Sugar Tart from Macy's: $24.99 (I remember on this particular shopping experience when I asked Legal Eagle for her advice, she seemed very put off by the price but agreed that if I liked it that much I should get it. I think it's really such a cute and versatile top and that I totally got my money's worth out of it....)
Chocolate Brown pin-striped gauchos by Tahari from Filene's Basement: $23.90 (originally $218 or some such nonsense!)
Tan huraches by Steve Madden from DSW: $15 (remember my espadrille story? I was on a similar mission to get huraches one summer when no one was making them. Out of the blue these babies were on the clearance rack and I got them in 2 colors! They remind me of my childhood and that's priceless:)
Gold capiz shell earrings from a mall kiosk: $3



Still rockin the natural light... Somehow I managed to have even more to update than I did yesterday, but no time or energy to do it. Was up til 3:45am playing with Shiba, my new lappie. But it is literally too hot to think around this piece anyway.... Lataz.
