Daily Wear: Noir

IMG_0713
I wore this some time last week and forgot to post it.  I was looking to clean out my files, and came across this.  I waited too long to take proper outfit shots considering the sun had gone down already (scratch that, there was NO sun, EVER that day!  Hence the crazy humid hair I've got going on and the ominous storm clouds trekking across the Brooklyn skies).  But there's no need not to post this outfit, just because I wore it last week, doesn't matter right?
Noir
I got this t-shirt dress at the BCBG outlet in the Poconos over Memorial Day weekend.  What was really rad was the BCBG store was going out of business so everything was 1/2 off the already reduced prices, which were reduced from the already marked down outlet price!  You can't go wrong with BCBG at $15 now can you?  Well maybe, I mean was it really necessary for me to own a tshirt with a giant feline head on it?  Probably, yeah.

I've also recently discovered a legging utopia--otherwise known as Uniqlo.  Now this legging menagerie I tell you, has not always been there....you might notice several times a week I'm in skinny jeans-always from Uniqlo, and almost always a different pair, so I'm no stranger to frequenting the NYC location...I'd know if there was a legging heaven before.  I swear to you its a newer addition to the store.  It's near the main registers, like this whole section is nothing but about 30 different types of leggings, 30 different types of biker shorts, prints prints and more prints, solids of every color, texture-slinky tricot-synthetic shiny stuff, everything my legs NEED-WANT-and MUST HAVE!  I stumpled upon this about a month ago, now I'm thinking its high time I get back and stock up on some trendiness for these sticks of mine...just in time for fall!  Yep, good idea Nickie.  (seriously though, UNIQLO!  LOVE!!!! and yes, when I was buying leggings I was also picking up another pair of skinny jeans, again totally (un)necessary!)

I also have a thing for turning photos into the grayscale mode...I swear you can take the worst photo ever, make it black & white, slide around the contrast bar a bit, and holy cow....drama!  The stormy clouds look way more scary in this ominous gray! (yep, extent of my photoshop skills--right here!)
