Thing the first: Wow, I am hungry. Which is ridiculous, because I had my usual breakfast this morning. But I feel hungry enough to make me also feel a touch queasy. Dear Stomach, this is Not On. Also, I am craving a bagel with cream cheese and lox, and there is *nowhere* near the office that I can get such a thing. Hmmph. I hope the fig cereal bar I'm about to nibble on makes me feel better.

Thing the second: Remember my saying that I probably wasn't going to be purchasing any clothing for a while? (You know, in the previous LJ post?) The wonderful Laura at Retroscope Fashions posted preview photos of two new jackets on Steamfashion (clicky-link!) Why yes, I want the black & grey & white pinstriped Victorian-esque jacket, how clever of you to have guessed.

Thing the third: Lightboxes! Blue LED ones! They really work! We recently got one, and I've been using it for about 20 minutes in the mornings while doing my makeup. I must admit, I feel more awake for using it. Yes, the irony of me, a nocturnal-type gothy person who reads a lot of vampire books, benefiting from a lightbox is not lost on me. Stop giggling.

Thing the fourth:

Black glittery pointy-toe flats.

B&W wide-stripe tights, worn under black floral lace stockings.

Knee-length flouncy black skirt with ruffled hem (yes, I made it a few weeks ago), worn over pink & black petticoats.

Black high-collared blouse with a lace yoke.

Black with white pinstripes jacket, with a black velvet collar and skull buttons. (Made by Tripp, purchased from the lovely genniferholland, and then tailored and cropped by me to make it waist-length and more fitted.)

Jewelry: The usual collection of rings, my Calico Jack perfume locket (worn under the blouse), and a skull-decorated silver heart pendant tied around my neck on a pink satin bow.

Hair and makeup: Hair pulled back into a high ponytail, secured with lace-festooned hair ties, and a pink & black flower clip that javagoth made for me. YSL Touch Eclat concealer under my eyes, a light dusting of Aromaleigh "glissade" and High-Resolution finishing powder, Aromaleigh eye shadows in "morbid curiosity" (russet/indigo duochrome), "angel wing" (opalescent pink/white), and "twinkle" (pale sparkly pink), black liquid liner on the top lid, mascara, and Besame "Noir Red" lipstick.
