A story from my workplace, and a clicky-link of coveting.

[cupcake_goth]

Wandering through the cafeteria, I just saw a woman dressed in black "wet-look" leggings (so, high-gloss spandex), a cream/khaki thigh-length sweater (which I think had sequin details), and a pair of those open-toe high-heeled "boots". She looked like she had lost a fight with an American Apparel store. And of course, she stared at me like I'm the crazy person.

Clicky-link of coveting! I want this Baby Vamp ring set (You knew that was a clicky-link, right? Okay.) A tiny set of vampire fangs to wear as a ring! How ridiculously cute is that? I may occasionally (well, frequently) roll my eyes and fling my hands about in despair at what is being perpetrated under the cloak of my favorite genre, but I've got to admit, the upswing in popularity for all things vampire-related sometimes means finding pretty things.

Her ensemble sounds . . . ugly. Maybe if the boots were closed toe and the sweater was black . . . that might have looked a little better. And I Pishaw at the look of crazy that the lady gave you, PISHAW!

Those rings . . . need. SO freaking cute! Eeee!

Goddamn you and your clicky links, Jilli.

Her outfit is so out of wack and those rings are so awesome!

Rings are cute. But not $200 for silver.

cracks me up that description of her you gave, thank you for the laugh!

$200 is a bit much for that, but they'd make greal size 5-6 pinky rings. Now if they were priced a little more affordably I'd even think about getting one.

Wow, even the shallow fashion part of my brain knows that her outfit doesn't go together. Those rings are so cute. I understand. Darn sparkly vampires.

Rings are adorable & this woman sounds like several of my coworkers. Feh to them I say, following some store mannequin.

I finally got your book & have made tea to settle in for some reading.

WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT HIP AND TRENDY.

Thank fuck for that. ;D

Also, those rings? My jewellery making friend in the UK said she can make 'em, in silver, for $50. WANT? Y/N

One of the main reasons I like to work is to look at all the crazy looking people. They may or may not become characters in my novel. <3

I want that ring!! So adorable! I am irritated with all the stupidness that is defiling the vampire genre *it's my favorite too* but you're right. Those are adorable!!

Beatz

Almost as ridiculously cute as the fact that I can get them in TOE RING SIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even I like the rings.

And you know what? I welcome any departure from the slobby norm of OurCo.

They make open-toe high-heeled boots?! BOOTS?

I think I'm going to cry. That's horrible.

They were just shown as coming into fashion on one of the major news websites. I apologise if I can't remember the correct one, but when I saw it there it struck me as odd. I think there is some footwear designer that is laughing his ass off.

"Wet-look" -- that's the way to describe them. Thanks! I'm seeing a lot of women wearing them as if they were trousers. *shudder*

[thalionar.livejournal.com]

because everyone wants to look like they've been dipped in oil? yick. Well, maybe with the right ensemble, but... as trousers? yick.

[arky-tiger.livejournal.com]

I was just thinking those rings are the sweetest things and my friend would love them as a gift... then I saw the price!

Why must you link these things you foul temptress :(

Also - wet look leggings? *shudder*
