make me tame

New bag!
Jul072010_0010
I'm finally getting settled into the week and it's now Wednesday. The holiday weekend was a blast--I spent some time in Detroit and my hometown near Muskegon to visit friends and family. A few highlights include the Deadmau5 concert with my friend Sarah, my friend Erin's boyfriend's uncle eating a june bug after winning the prized beer pong traveling trophy and finally swimming for the first time this summer, in a pool. I much prefer pools. My feet didn't have to touch anything icky and I didn't have to worry about swimming through someone else's urine. 

I wore the top half of this outfit yesterday to work with what has been pegged my poofy pants by my boss lady. I was privileged enough to hear her and our CEO both make fun of me, which provides me so much entertainment! If only they knew this only fuels my desire to wear more and more shit they think is weird. Our CEO even told me I looked like bullfighter in them that went through a hurricane...fair perception. I giggled so much over that comment I hurried and wrote it down in my notebook so I could remember it later.

After work, I usually just add jeans or shorts to whatever top I wore to work as I did yesterday. I decided to wear them with the cutoffs as has been my decision almost every day the last couple weeks. Love em!

Also, if you get a chance listen to this band I'm newly obsessed with-- Dead Confederate and listen to "the rat."

i really like your jacket and your bag.
Here's an idea!: since you love me SO much... anytime you ever decided "I don't like this piece of clothing or accessory anymore" you should donate it to me (or I will buy it from you, depending on if I like it). I realize this doesn't apply to jeans as I will never be able to fit my fat butt into your size -0 pants, but it applies to nearly everything else :0)

Yay! <3
MISS YOUR GUTS!

Haa, fashion comments in the workplace, they never fail to amuse me too. Yesterday I overheard my (all male) coworkers' conversation at lunch: "Did you know that hammer-pants are in fashion right now for women?" - "Yes, it's true, I've seem them wear those!" - "I don't get fashion nowadays".

Dudes, they've been in fashion since last year already... So at my office they'd probably call you MC Hammer :)
That blazer is fabulous btw!

i must say it would compliment my new nude shoes that you said you would like! hehe how about we switch or better yet timeshare both? ;)

I feel exactly the same as you when people make off comments about what I am wearing...it only makes me want to keep raising the bar! :)

I was in Windsor this weekend right across from Detroit! Definitely waved to all my American friends over there :)
