Black Wings

Homies, when all else fails wear all black and funk that shit out with a bright lip and winged eyeliner. It's a no fail way to make yourself feel chic-as-fuuuuu.....

LF has been having a HUGE sale for the past 2 weeks. Shamefully I have shuffled my ass in there to pluck up different pieces here and there again and again. I can't HELP myself. 60% off everything and shoes that are normally $200 for $48. On top of that, all the shop girls are so sweet and stylish, it's such a pleasure to browse and chat and what-not. 

Anyhoo, I got this bustier. I had a great one I picked up at Laced with Romance in Austin, and I lost it in the move so I've been in the market for one. This is such a versatile piece in any wardrobe. Easy to dress up or down. Throw a blazer over it to tailor it out, or rock it with a short skirt if you're feeling 
sass-ayyy. Plus, it's always good to give the girls a lift every now and then. 

I love these pleated PTA mom pants I found at a thrift store too. They have a tendency to FUPA out (if ya know what I mean), but I don't mind it. Particularly when you pair them with a slim top. It adds a nice curve on the sides, yes?

Laced with Romance...

YO! We took a trip to the Texas Theatre to celebrate a buddy's birthday. This is the outfit. 
I must admit, this bustier is pretty racy for me. Typically I'm  not a cleavage girl, but
when I found this piece at Laced with Romance in Austin I was drawn to it immediately.
Laced with Romance does a lot of hand dying, so you find pieces there that are of
a certain vintage, but in colors that weren't necessarily prominent in the time
period the pieces are from. It doesn't sound like it would make so
much of a difference, but when you're looking a vintage prairie dress that has been 
dyed bright crimson red, it takes you a second to figure out why the piece is so
striking. So, I'm rockin' the bustier, but not without a slightly androgynous jacket to boy it up.



Coach is doing a new campaign featuring a limited edition reissue
of their "classic" Coach styles. The bag I'm strappin' is the "Legacy" bag.....
except it's an original...and I found it at a thrift store....for $4.95.
BANG-O!
