Anyway, let's rewind and see what I was up to this past weekend--
Saturday Afternoon-September 19, 2009
I had 3 large bags of clothing to attempt to sell (A.K.A. donate) to Beacon's Closet. They never want anything of mine for obvious reasons. So I called a car (no way could I transport all 3 bags on public transportation) and headed out.

I'd been looking forward to wearing my new vintage skirt I bought during "Fashion Night Out" at Market Publique's pop-up boutique. Being that it's a bit of a butter color, which to me looks Spring, I pondered how to make it look a bit more season appropriate--or shall I say I wanted desperately for it to be a
FALL OUTFIT!
And what's a girl to do in a predicament like that? Tights of course!
Wearing:
*Gray sweatshirt-Forever 21
*Light yellow vintage skirt-Market Publique (sorry, can't remember the actual seller)
*Burgundy tights-H&M
*Brown suede boots-Carlos Santana
*White printed crinkle scarf-H&M
Afterwards, I went home to take a rest. And then before I knew it, Saturday night rolled around. I didn't feel like getting up and getting ready all over again. In fact I had no desire to primp at all. In my lackluster mood, at least I was able to cling to the anticipation of the cool chill we were expected to receive weather-wise. We were due to meet up with friends at the Frying Pan on the West Side, near Chelsea Piers. Being on water, with the forecast calling for a low of 53, I was stoked to bust out my favorite Fall jacket-
THE LEATHER BOMBER
(or faux leather in this case).My Quick Fix Routine
(when you don't feel like starting all over with your daily beauty ritual)
-Lots of black (eyeliner, shadow, mascara, clothing)
-Dry Shampoo (Psssstttt in my case), and some hair teasing
-A light pink lip gloss (to counteract the dark eye)
-A few spritzes of perfume (to mask what a shower might fix)
-And of course, that go-to article of clothing that makes you feel awesome
(the bomber jacket)
I actually beat the BF getting ready for the evening. UNHEARD OF!
Saturday Night-September 19, 2009
Wearing:
*Black bomber jacket-H&M
*Gray sweatshirt (same as in the afternoon)-Forever 21
*Skinny jeans-Uniqlo
*Black leather booties-Daffy's
*Black print scarf-Express
*Cream vintage eyelet belt-Thrift Store
The Frying Pan was full of little nooks and crannies at every turn-just ripe for the exploring! And of course we were like grown-up children on our own little adult playground:
(Wait, didn't I just mention I was planning my 30th birthday? Maturity at it's finest folks!)
What is it about boats and old sunken ships that makes me want to be a pirate?
If indeed we could be pirates--this would be my crew. First matey-the BF (on left)
Aaaarrrr! Shiver me Timbers!
(eye patch, hook, parrot, and all--a girl's got to accessorize her pirate get-up accurately)
Sunday was rather lackluster-just me, my clean clothes that needed hangers, a dusty vanity, and some cleaning supplies. I told you it was lackluster.
BF did come home from the sporting goods store with this little gem of a baseball cap. I've been on a Yankees kick and this made my day!
Sunday afternoon-September 20, 2009
Wearing:
*Black baseball cap-Modell's
*Black crochet applique sweatshirt-Zara
*Skinny jeans-Uniqlo
PS-Of course I like the Yankees, I live in NY and the METS are not my thing.
And....did I mention, one of the greatest Yankees of all time is from Indiana. (Just some more Hoosier trivia).
True story: He went to my high school (Reitz Memorial H.S. in Evansville)-any guesses???
Back to planning the party.....there's an oldies playlist waiting to be compiled to perfection. Ummmmm, someone tell me why I keep adding to my 6-1/2hr. playlist when the party is only 4 hours long?
