what i wore: because my aunt wants to see it even though i look homeless

i had actually kind of planned on doing an outfit post today because i'm just so enamored with my $5 dress, but once i got home and looked in the mirror at my hair, i really didn't want to as the sight of me may scare small children. but, since my aunt kimberly wanted to see what i was wearing, and mainly how i wore my fancy new sparkly toms, i figured i couldn't let her down. just try to remember that i don't look quite so much like a disheveled, crazy homeless lady all the time.

$5 clearance dress: target (it has great waitress blouse style sleeves, so i can't wait to wear it in the spring), cardigan: i don't remember, leopard shoes: target, sparkly shoes: toms, bullet necklace: dinosaur toes, key necklace: bueno bueno. note about necklaces, i felt a little like mr. t when i put on two necklaces this morning, but since the outfit was plain and those are my two favorite necklaces, i figured it would be okay. i love it when a plan comes together (okay, so not mr. t, but it's still the a-team).

in my defense, my hair looked MUCH better this morning. since it's so long, it's kind of difficult to do much with it, but my one go to style is a low bun to the side which looks pretty good. but of course i had to show the side without the bun. smart move. also, i did not wear two different shoes today. i may be a little crazy, but not that crazy! i wore the leopard print flats to work, but then went to get the toms this afternoon. chris actually bought me the gold herringbone toms i so desperately wanted for christmas, but it turns out i got the dud pair. the right shoe fit perfectly, but the left shoe was bigger in width and length to the point it was actually too big for my foot. so i went today to do a shoe switcheroo, but they didn't have another pair of size 5 gold herringbone toms. i actually wasn't upset though because it meant i got to exchange the dud pair for a glitter pair! so i'd say the mishap ended up working in my favor! tonight chris and i are going out to dinner with pop and my stepmom, so i'm sure you can guess which shoes i'm going to wear!

the hair accessory is of course flojo. she has separation anxiety, so once i got home from work i had to let her come be in the pictures with me, otherwise she'd end up screaming herself hoarse thinking that we wouldn't be together.

so all in all, i'd say it was a pretty schizophrenic day. crazy hair, a parrot on my head and a picture with me wearing two different shoes. i bet people that don't read blog posts and only look at the pictures will think i need help.

how was your thursday?

  1. Since I didn't read a word of this, I think you're insane. But because I lied just there, now, I have to say that you're cute as a peach & that so is flojo. Also, you don't look like a bum. If you look like a bum there, then I don't know what I usually look like...haha! Also, I'm glad you got pretty new glitter TOMS even though the herringbone ones were duds. =/ Happy ending to an ass backwards day. =)

  8. love the outfit! I don't think you look like a bag lady at all, but then again, I am sure that I look like one most of the time... And of course, Flojo is the most beautiful accessory!!! Give that little feather head a good snuggly scritching for me!

  9. Cuteness. I love your toms. And your parrot is adorable. We used to to have one, but had to give it away 'cause he was really noisy and would throw his food all over the floor - outside the cage.

  12. number one: I am so incredibly tickled and honored that you read my little blog and was so pleased to see your comment about ballet. I commented back on my blog but you have definitely inspired me to see if there are any classes like that where I live.

    number two: i will forever be in love with your jewelry. keep up the good work and I can't wait to hopefully, very soon, purchase one of your pieces :)

    number three: well I do';t really have a number three but it felt weird only having two things listed. So I'll just repeat: thank you so much for stopping by my blog and I look forward to all of your posts to come

    PS: love the mismatched shoes :)

  14. ok...had to get in on the ballet chat. You know I took forever? Well, I would absolutely push anyone interested in it, into doing it. It's so AWESOME and it's so good for you in so many ways. So often I think about it and really do miss it. I still do some moves around the house. There are videos you can buy to do at home if you are uncomfortable with a class. (I used a lot of "so"s in this comment.) Go for it!!!!

  15. Ooh, you have the black sparkly TOMS! All along I thought you had the herringbone pair. Sorry they didn't work out for you! But I must say these black ones are to die for. Also your hair looks adorable from all angles. I must try that hair style out!

    p.s.) Word verification for this comment? "coothe" Whatever that means.

  16. kimberly, i looked for a while on ebay at the ballet videos, and i'm not sure why exactly i didn't get them. maybe i'll look some more this weekend, and if i find any, i'll make them mine! i mean, obviously ballet is a beautiful art, but now that i'm older, i'm vain, and i just want a sleek body like a ballerina!

  18. Flojo is the cutest! My African Grey parrot gets a little bit of separation anxiety too: it's always interesting trying to get on with your business when you have a parrot hanging off of you!!
