Daily Wear: Rainbow Brite

Happy Passover Everyone!

I had today off, due to Passover.

And when you don't celebrate such a holiday, its just a free day then.

woohoo!

Unfortunately it rained all day-and it kinda put a damper on my plans.

So I stayed inside, only ran to the grocery, and didn't even have a chance to get outside for real outfit shots. Boo!

(Kinda a waste of a day, considering I rarely get an opportunity to make it outside to capture my daily outfit)

I did however, get my Swap-Shop organized.

What, what's that you say? A "Swap-Shop?"

Yes, its true--you soon will have the opportunity to swap your life with mine, ah hahaha, ok not really. I wouldn't trade you my life in a million years (I'm pretty fond of what I've got going on for myself actually)...but I will gladly trade you some items I no longer need in my life.

So please, hop on over to SWAPPY SECONDS and get acquainted with my "rules" and "ongoing wishlist".

Then, we can start swapping as soon as I post some loot.

Ok, so today's outfit...

Let's see--rain, overcast skies, gloomy weather;

yep, perfect opportunity to brighten things up a bit.

And on with this dress!

I think I should start wearing red more often. (I don't really find myself drawn to it though, hmmm...that could be a problem) I do have several pieces in this tomato-red shade, a bit on the orange-y undertone side of things. I always see myself as more of a cool tone girl, thinking that I have to stick to the blue undertones of cherry reds. But come to think of it, I usually do like the outcome on the rare occasion I wear one of these warmer toned red shades. So yeah, I should probably try this color more often.

Unless, you suggest otherwise-then I'm open to hearing what you think.

(Although, let's face it, I'll listen but most likely will still do what I want)

So what's your take on red?

It's sometimes a difficult color, right?

Do you like it-hate it-never wear it-love it?

Wearing:

*Red vintage dress-Beacon's Closet (Park Slope)

*Brown Belt-NY&Co.

*Black leggings-Forever 21

*Brown wedge boots-Old Navy

And if you follow me on Twitter,

You saw that Mel and I went to see She & Him last night.

Calm your jealousy people--while the concert was pretty rad, I'll have you know the venue smelled like an indoor pool and the beer smelled like a stink-bomb. Uhhhhhhhhh.

Oh, but for those living under a rock (and I know how that goes, so I'm not poking fun at you)-She & Him is a girl/guy band made up of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward

(and yes, Mr. Ward-I accept your hand in marriage! Vegas, tomorrow? Sure!)

Sorry about the fuzzy pictures-no photography allowed at the concert!

Well that didn't stop us from taking some shots...sooooo sneaky I know!

Daily Wear: The Boys' Club

Today I looked like One of the Guys...

I say that because I'm pretty certain my BF and I dressed within the same realm today, as in our outfits were probably 90% the same. Uhhhhh.....

Sometimes he wears off on me, classic style and all.

(its true, BF does not take nearly the time, effort, or chances that I do in terms of fashion, this classic look is a complete rip off of his everyday style; minus the skinny jeans tucked into boots.)

Wearing:

*Brown Sweater-H&M

*Peach vintage plaid YSL mens shirt-Thrift Store

*Skinny jeans-Uniqlo

*Brown suede boots-Carlos Santana

*Gold vintage cameo ring-Ebay (I think, can't remember)

I did take the time to add-on one of my cameo rings; I thought that might be a little dose of femininity that this outfit needed. I could've used some more accessories-but too late now.

Did I ever mention how much I adore cameos? Yes, for real...they come in a close 2nd to my vintage owls. It's the antique-ness, slightly gothic vibe, and the romanticism of each that really gets me everytime. I see one and I instantly want it!

This is just one of those items I couldn't resist:

Oh....and some more fun random facts about my day

(you know besides me dressing like my BF and talking gibberish about cameos),

-I brought home my vintage owl necklace that Clyde'sRebirth scored for me on Ebay. Not to mention that she felt so inclined to send him with a little friend (another owl!). I'll be sure to wear both soon (not at the same time) and to give her a well deserved shout-out

-I also got a package from La Chouette en Dimanche; lots and lots of makeup! All because I swapped a skirt with her. Who doesn't love loads of make-up? Certainly not me--thanks pal!

-And I stopped by Other Music after work to pick up a copy of She & Him Vol. 2--can't wait to go put it on my ipod right about NOW!

Later!
