What Would You Have Me Do, Inspector?

This is probably the best walking shot, I've ever done. Huzzah! Haha. Pretty rad. :D

Keit (Beauty In Insanity), I'm dedicating this post to you, because you said I wasn't posting enough photos for you to "drool" over. So, drool away, my dear!  <3

I never understood why bloggers take lots of photos of themselves in basically the same pose, with only slight variations. I just show the front and side and some close-ups. Badabing, badaboom. I dunno. I'm new. Heh.

Anyway, so what is going on here? Well, I roped my partner into snapping some photos of what I had planned to wear later on in the night. He was itching to go skiing, so we took these in kind of a rush. Hehe. Still, he was quite patient and kind. =P I have a tendency to wait until I'm actually going somewhere to take a fashion photo. The problem with this is that it is difficult to take photos after dark.


So, I'm glad that I had the sense to take these ahead of time. It was a nice day, too! The snow steadily melted and the sun disappeared and reappeared periodically as the stratus clouds would permit.

I wanted to create kind of a menswear look, so I used a deep v-neck cardigan to give the appearance of a vest and I wore a hand-made tie in a fat half-Windsor knot. I love wearing men's ties. :D
The tie is the only other new thing that I'm wearing here. Awhile back I mentioned that I really wanted my own necktie and my partner didn't have a single black tie for me to steal. You can read that post here.

I also had revealed that this severe necktie shortage drove me to Etsy where I purchased a made-to-order tie from Montreal. This, my friends, is one beautifully crafted tie. William made the tie exactly as I had asked and I just adore it. His English is limited and my French is non-existent, but we were able to work together just fine. If you ever want a hand crafted tie, go to LeBoutonVert!

I feel like the only thing I'm missing is a hot side kick wearing a trench coat and holding a magnifying glass. Haha. This is probably my favorite outfit for the year. As soon as I put it together, I was in love. It was so warm, cozy and really easy to wear. I actually wore this to a punk/rock show. I had on darker makeup, but that was it. I think I was able to blend in quite nicely with that crowd. :D

Ghetto Blaster

Hey there! So, I'm excited to share some new pieces with you guys, today. First up, is this fabulous 1970's fisherman's sweater I bought from Fiery Finish Vintage on Etsy. As soon as I saw it on Chrissi's blog, I knew I just had to have it. Actually, I would not have known about this amazing item, if Chrissi hadn't posted a really sweet comment on one of my blog posts way back when. I just happened to check out her blog and I liked what I saw, so I started following her. When I saw her modeling this sweater in one of her posts, I just loved it and I was ecstatic that it was for sale on her Etsy.

It's really thick, the arms and torso are lengthy (great for tall people like me!) and it's oh so warm. It's not exactly sheer, but there are some visible gaps in the knitting that let cold air through, so I wore a soft, long sleeved shirt from Cotton On underneath. I donned this comfy combo all day and loved it.

Next up is my kick ass ghetto blaster pendant by Plastique. It is yet another item that I felt like I could not live without once I had set my eyes upon it. The price was a bit prohibitive at $27, especially given that the item is made of..well..plastic. However, it is just so unique that I couldn't give up on it. So, I watched it like a hawk and when it went on sale for $18, I managed to snag it when there were only a few left. Sure enough, I went back to check on its status the next day and these babies were gone for good. Some may say $18 is still too pricey and I would be hard pressed to disagree. Nevertheless,
I tend to fork over extra cash for rare or particularly unique items. I think this item fits the bill.

Finally, I wore some thrifted over-the-knee socks over these amazing mixed pattern tights. I hardly ever have an excuse to wear this jewel, so I just couldn't resist the urge. I was going to wear plain sheer black tights initially, which would have worked out well. Still, I think these particular tights made the outfit more aesthetically interesting. They are quite amazing and I wish I could have showed more of it, but it was kind of cold and I really needed those black socks. Hehe. I got these tights for just $20.
