“She Wants To Move” (Uncategorized)

Today, I built an outfit around the latest addition to the esty store, Atlantis:

all layered up

she likes to move...

sometimes...you can see it...

F21 shirt over vintage dress over Emporio Armani skirt, Alice + Olivia for Payless shoes, self-designed necklace

This vintage turquoise dress that I won on Market Publique (it’s like ebay for vintage only.  GO THERE!) a few weeks ago sat languishing in my closet until I realized that it (the bottom, at least) would go perfectly with the hints of turquoise in the necklace.  WIN.

BUT, it’s a little short…TOO short for work.  My saving grace  was this shiny silver bodycon pencil skirt with a pleated hem that I scored at a sample sale.  EPIC WIN.  I can’t remember how much it was, but my abriged memory tells me it was in single digit territory.  You know how I do.  LOL.

The way the pleats on this skirt swish back and forth while I’m walking reminds me of my favorite N.E.R.D. video.  Ol’ girl was shaking something furious in that fringe dress.  Trust, whenever I hear this song while I’m out (or in the house, hell…), I do the same thing.  Sure, muscles are pulled and multiple cramps ensue, but something about that song makes me forget it all.

I need to go to a party or something.

N.E.R.D. She Wants To Move

A HUGE thank you to Lucrecia of Fashion is Poison for featuring my new collection and store on her blog.  I’m stoked.  SERIOUSLY stoked.

It’s a small operation now, but Talonalia will be growing with more things added soon enough.  You can check it out now via the link at the left.

Love you, Lu!!!!
