Look Again

When I got up yesterday morning I was feeling pretty confident about what I put together to wear to work. I've worn this maxi skirt numerous times and I'm still finding different ways to wear it depending on where I'm going.

Dark? Yes. Creepy? Definitely!
I left the dark lipstick behind for work, but dolled up a little for the photos.
Finding a good length maxi skirt is quite challenging when you're on the short/petite side. I struck gold with this one a couple years ago when I got it from Forever21. The cami is from Aerie and I'm also wearing a loft cardigan.
I think what I like most about maxi skirts is that there is the option to dress it up or dress it down.  I've worn this with my Led Zeppelin tee and also with a black body suit underneath. It's all about what makes you comfortable and what you're feeling that day. And short ladies: Don't be afraid to buy one! Of course try it on and see how it fits and if you love it, get it! Even if it's too long you can always make it shorter.




My earring is also another thing that I'm very excited about! I went to the Punk Rock Flea Market in Philly last weekend and scooped up these awesome pair of earrings for only $1 ! I carefully picked through a big box and found these!
They also aren't too heavy so wearing them all day actually wasn't too bad.
I was definitely connecting with and channeling my inner Greek Goddess with this look. Something about it just made me feel very Greek. Ancestors would be proud

David Bowie: Fashion Icon, Rock Legend

David Bowie January 8th, 1947- January 10th, 2016 Although I'm writing this several months after his death, I still wanted to bring forward the importance of David Bowie and his contribution to music and fashion.  I do have to admit, I never was a huge  David Bowie fan,but there has been a number of songs and outfits that have inspired me over the years. In his life, Bowie produced 26 albums, did 14 world tours and appeared in 21 films and television shows. He accomplished so much during his time and his death was a huge loss in the world of rock and roll.  While all of these accomplishments are great, there have been some iconic outfits that have been worn by Bowie in the past years that made some of these moments famous and never forgotten. Life on Mars Some of Bowie's most famous suits were designed by Freddie Burretti , including the suit he wore in the music video "Life on Mars."  Not only did he design the blue suit, but a lot of othe

Polka Dot Queen

As you might of seen in the last post, I really enjoy getting dressed up for special occasions!  This time is was no different.  Usually I end up going out and buying something new to wear to a wedding but in this case I already had a dress in my closet.  A few months ago a girl I worked with at Timberland came by my desk with a dress that she said was a gift from someone but it didn't find her exactly.  She's a little bit shorter than I am and the proportions were off for her.  That's the down side to being a petite girl! (I'm not even at 5'2!) So she was kind enough to bestow it upon me!  I've been waiting for the right occasion to come along and this was it! The polka dot dress from Forever21 has a cute little peplum and also a mesh top which adds character to the dress.  It also has the sweetest peter pan collar and a keyhole back.  The shoes are Carlos by Carlos Santana and I got them for a steal at Buffalo Exchange in Philly a few years back.

Dark Vibes

Hi Everyone! I'm back!....I think. Since I went on hiatus, I've moved twice, got a new(er) position at Destination Maternity and still have been interviewing my butt off hoping that a new job will soon come along. I was really feeling my outfit the other week, so I had my roommate snap a couple of photos when I got home from work.  It's really a shame that it gets dark so early these days.  Don't get me wrong, I love  fall but I don't love how short the days become. The scarf was a gift from an old roommate.  Her boyfriend's mother had given it to her but she didn't want it.  I'm not exactly sure why  but you can never have enough scarves if you ask me! I've always enjoyed black on black on black looks.  The only problem I ever have is my blacks will never match, ever! #gothgirlproblems I got the shoes over the summer from Forever 21. They were the last of their kind!  A lot of women that I work with are also
