Out Of Sound, Out Of Mind

If I didn't have music in my life, I would probably go super crazy. >_< I can't stand a silent house.
I always have to have some music playing in the background. I'll even leave music playing, so that it's the first thing I hear when I come home from work. It's a comfort. I lose myself in it all the time.
<3

It used to be that I couldn't sleep without music. When I was in law school, I slept with headphones on. The walls in my efficiency were paper thin and there was a night club around the corner, so I was killing two birds with one stone, really.  Hehe. If you're curious about the kinds of things I listen to, you can check out my music blog, by the way. :D At any rate, I had always slept with music playing until my partner and I moved in together and we quickly discovered how light of a sleeper he was. =[~


Picture

Yep. I'm pretty obsessed with sweet beats. :D If you're like me, you tend to seek out and congregate with other audiophiles. So, it should come as no surprise that I met my partner of 13 years on a music message board on the internet. Haha. Our first date involved a night of dancing to house music. I used to listen to him spin disco house at his apartment. We shared CDs (yeah, remember those old things? o_O) and we'd listen to them together in his car several days a week. Every time we went out together, music was always at the center of our activities. He has a degree in audio engineering, too! ^_^

I can't help but feel like my partner and I were destined to be together. :3 Two peas in a pod made of vinyl. Hehe. So, I really loved the print on this tee when I first saw it. It depicted a feeling that I understood all too well. The print is a bit faded, since I've had it for probably 5+ years and I wear it often. For today's outfit, I simply added faux leather and a cozy knit for a comfortable, casual look. :P
I found myself thinking, 'I wish I had a leather collar to add to the shirt' and then I remembered that I *do* have a leather collar. It just happens to be on a dress. Hehe. So, I wore the dress underneath. ^_^

Aww, man. You guys! I totally had to rough it, this weekend. =[~ My Player Two went on some stupid business trip or whatever and left me home alone with Bonaparte, also known as The Ungrateful One. Gaaaaah. >_< As a result, I had to take these photos myself. Yes, I know! The horror! The horror!


Picture

Hahaha. Yeahhhhh. I quickly remembered just how much of an amateur photographer I really am. At any rate, it was an absolutely gorgeous day. I couldn't believe it was over 50 degrees. I didn't even really need my epic bag lady coat, but I knew that I'd need it later in the day, so I brought it along.

Yes, I decided to get out of my jim jams in order to get over my jim-jams. Hey! See what I did there? ;D
I bundled up the old tripod, my camera and a good book, tossed all of that shiz into my bike basket and set off for an evening of lazy sippin' and perusin' at a coffee shop. I admit, it was a very nice and relaxing bike ride. Along the way, I found a private spot to photograph what I wore for the day. :P

It goes without saying that this outfit is nothing fancy. Hehe. It's super simple. I wore my favorite vintage floral sweater underneath a pair of vintage dark denim overalls and that's about it, really. :3 I wanted to see if I could get away with wearing shortalls/overalls in the winter, again. Methinks I succeeded. :D

I'm not really sure what I was going for style wise. By that, I mean I'm not sure how I would categorize this look. I guess maybe I would call it rustic hipster granny chic? I dunno. I just know that I like it. :P


Picture

Yep. Yeah. At least I managed to do something productive instead of being a big ol' loaf at home. I got to brush up on my clicker hiding skills and I didn't get hassled by a single creeper! 'Twas a good day!
