• red ribbon as headband
• red vintage slip
• blue (dyed) slip
• red stretchy belt
• flower clips from h&m
• seamed stockings
• black maryjanes

There’s a fine line between two slips=a dress and two slips=wearing lingerie out of the house.
I’m still not totally convinced that this is a good outfit… maybe the slip would have to be less of a lipstick red for me to believe it.
This outfit is inspired by:
Bette Davis in Of Human Bondage when she’s strung out and sick.
Courtney Love circa 1994 – lots of lace, red lipstick and mary jane shoes.

• Red corduroy bow – snipped off one of my Hello Kitty plush dolls and affixed to a pincurl clip
• Red Scarf – Thrifted in Lawerence, KS
• Red leather gloves – estate sale, Eugene, OR
• Black jacket with Red/Yellow/Blue flecked Tweed Details – Buffalo Exchange, ATX
• 1930s dress with Primary color daisy details – Buffalo Exchange, ATX
• Red knee high socks – URBN
• Black Patent Shoes – Target

It was actually raining really hard when I took this photo!
Like I’ve said before… I LOVE MATCHY MATCHY!
Just the small bits of primary colored tweed that compliment the dress make this outfit very successful in my eyes
Here are my little bows! I scalped my Hello Kitty plush and now she looks SO much like Dear Daniel with no bow!

I stitched one single pronged pin curl clip to the back of each bow, so I can slip it on when I feel like channeling Hello Kitty.

Last night I went out dancing and couldn’t be bothered to dress up too fancy today.

• Yellow ribbon as headband
• Cherry Red nailpolish
• 1950s picnic yellow/blue/teal plaid dress – bought from Roxanne several years ago
• Yellow peeptoe heels – Buffalo Exchange

When in doubt, monochrome!

• Silver earrings with ladies’ hands
• Headband from Louise Black with vintage flowers and lace
• Vintage navy dress – thrifted (& repaired many times!)
• Bow belt to some old gold dress long lost
• Blue American Apparel socks
• White Tstraps
• Odile (Can Can Cat Blythe) wears a bunny outfit from Devout Dolls

I’m in the shadows waiting for the bus so I can go to Thai Fresh with Miss Allison.

• Red Bandana – had it forever!
• Red sunglasses – H&M, San Francisco
• 1930s wrap dress with scallop border – from Robin via Ebay
• Red strappy sandals with wooden bases

Today I sculpted a fingerwave and decorated it with flowers.

• White Chrysanthemums in my hair
• Teal patina Art Nouveaux-ish earrings
• I’m Vegan & I Love You!& shirt/dress from herbivore clothing in PDX
• 1950s brown pencil skirt
• Brown socks with ruffle stripes on top
• Nonleather white t-strap shoes

I have one side of my hair in a fingerwave today but my bike ride to work has floofed it up a bit. I’m still using Lottabody Setting lotion in it and mixing it with some Aveda Be Curly products. Also, I’m a chronic hand-writer and don’t remember anything unless it’s written on my left hand!
