Shallow Fashion Details

[cupcake_goth]

I have been cranky for a few days now, so today I dressed to put some perky back in my mood. (Yesyes, if an item of clothing doesn't make me happy, I don't wear it at all, but some items make me happier than others.)

• Black leather pointy-toe ballet flats that have silver grommets all around the top edge, which I ran pink satin ribbon through and tied in bows.


• Pink fishnet tights worn over white microfiber tights.


• Pink fluffy petticoat.


• Black stretch velvet, knee-length, full-skirted, scoop-necked dress by Betsy Johnson (that I added 4" point-lace trim to the hem when I first bought it).


• Jet bead choker w/ antique cameo pendant.


• Pink faux-fur capelet (not a circle capelet , but a fitted-through-the-shoulders with little collar capelet that is very polished looking at not at all costume-y).


• The usual makeup, my glasses (too tired for contacts), and my hair down but with no hat.

All of my co-workers are fascinated by my clothing, and a couple of them have taken to stopping by my office each day to see what I'm wearing. This amuses me greatly.

I just wanted to make sure that you know that the latest BPAL shirt is a lovely pink-on-black design.

*I* have been pondering buying one. And I can't *stand* pink.

Oh, I know! But I don't really need any more t-shirts, considering I only wear them around the house (with bloomers or a long skirt, of course) when I'm doing chores.

Instead, I spent my BPAL budget on bottles of Monster Bait.

you = flawless. :)

See, both of the Monster Baits just sounded far too sweet to me. :) I just added more to my collection of random imps.

I need to set *myself* a BPAL budget...

It's moments like this that I miss working on campus and seeing you about.

Don't mock them too badly; you tell us what you're wearing. :) (They cannot read your friends list, and we cannot poke our respective heads into your office).

Which means...ooh, they're winning Fashion-Watch!

back when I worked at an actual office job, I could have written that...I was the resident weirdo at London Buses. I always wore fairy wings on my birthday...course how was I to know that that would be the day that our Illustrious Mayor would chose to stop by the office.

Thought of you today while shopping.

Lots of black velvet items on clearance at April Cornell (they do this faux Victorian look there) and they are getting CHEAP. If you're over in Bellevue Square, you sould stop by and then come by my work place and amuse my straight-laced coworkers. I get ragged on about my Fluevogs all the time. *eyeroll*

And the Monsterbaits souded yummy! I had to order 12 bottles for my decanting group - everyone wants to try these!

Of course they do! You're simply gorgeous, you know.

That, and most of them wouldn't know fashion if it tripped them, hogtied them, and bit them all over.

(Now, if you worked in my building, I'd just take a picture of you every day and post it, now that I have nifty cheap-ass digital camera. Hee.)
