Therapy daaay. I like dressing up for going to therapy. I pick comfortable things, but also things that make me feel confident. I also freaking LOVE these tights.
I'm starting my 2013 shopping ban by breaking it three days into the new year. But c'mon it's always on those days where perfect items pop out of the woodwork and make you fall in love. I found this Alice blue J Peterman dress in a size 2 with a half-off tag color just SITTING there shining on the rack where someone had obviously put it back. I didn't even try it on before buying it. It fits like a dreamy cloud. I probably won't even shorten it. It makes me feel like a princess. Sure it's way too sweet, but I think my edgy hair keeps everything in balance.
Speaking of, I LOVE this hair cut. I'm going to keep it around for awhile. I also found a really awesome B.Moss skirt. It's also long a midi length, but it's hitched up in spots with awesome textural fabric that reminds me of something All Saints might have done. No pictures of that because I'm probably going to wear it Saturday to the Art Crawl - so you'll have to wait for that!
Anyway, a little bit of scifi space girl and little bit of dreamy wonderland. It's a good day.
(Also if you haven't seen Syfy's Alice, I recommend it. The main character wears FLUEVOGS!)
Glad you're having an awesome day and I am really glad you are deciding to keep the haircut! It totally works for you!
ReplyDeleteScifi space girl is a nice combo. It's a good mix of tough and sweet.
ReplyDeleteTotal sci-fi badass, again!
ReplyDeleteAnd, uh, yeah. 3 days in, and my closet shopping resolution has crumbled, but only for the duration of the amazing sales, where I have been knocking stuff off my list. I've decided to cut myself some slack on that. As for your dress -- sometimes they're just meant to be, and letting them go is a bigger mistake than snapping them up. That one's definitely worth it!
Love that coat dress, and those tights are so neat.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're digging the haircut. I am too!
ReplyDeleteDreamy dress! It was a must, I agree : >
ReplyDeleteThat coat dress looks nice and warm, and the J. Peterman dress will be great for summer.
ReplyDeleteI adore the hair, as I've said before. Ha, another J. Peterman! I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the collar on your dress and yes, your hair is so you!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Shopping bans are no good for anyone ;)
It's always when we say we're going to slow down, cut back, stop shopping, etc..when the good stuff lands in our laps. Like the boots I just found while shopping for a desk. We're on slim pickens and I really shouldn't have done it, but hey, what's 15.00, right?
ReplyDeleteI love those tights too!
love your coat dress! so fab with those tights too! what a great find too. a fun piece for spring.
ReplyDelete"Therapy daaay" + both these dreamy dresses = deeply awesome. I find too that my hairdo enables all sorts of floofy and ultra-feminine things which didn't suit me before - you are looking fantastic! "Sorry" about your shopping ban.
ReplyDeleteYes, keep the hair for awhile!! It is fab. It's true that a seriously cool haircut enables you to look awesome in a wide range of clothing styles. Happy New Year!!!
ReplyDeleteThe haircut suits you & your style. I love that sweater coat, so nice. Great belt & tights with it too.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are keeping your haircut for a while, I really like it, I think it is the asymmetry that works so well on you.
ReplyDeleteRe: breaking the ban, I see today as a minor blip! But I have to say 'cutting back' rather than 'ban' as I will only rebel. Therefore I am going to London tomorrow and to a charity shop today with my friend (cross fingers), but other than that I will be cutting back on shopping...!
I freaking love your tights too! And I love your new dress. You do shopping bans like I do, lol. I may have to get serious about it though pretty soon again. Save the monies.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute coat dress. Hey, bans are only guidelines, right? That was too good a buy to ignore.
ReplyDeleteLovely coat....and you look fab!
ReplyDeleteYou look like sakura (Naruto Anime) at first pic if that dress in red
