…things last weekend taught me…

• A proper black leather handbag is a magical thing.
• Completed DIY projects are soothing to my soul, wallet and psyche.
• Cookie-cutter shit is becoming more and more annoying.
• I’d rather look interesting than look sexy…but I’ll take interestingly sexy any day (thx ‘Nanaclipse)
• If given the opportunity to graze instead of being fed once a day, a cat can gain one pound a day.  Persephone, slow down.

• I really can’t go in to Hotel de Ville without spending money (it was for a gift this time, I swear).
• Doing laundry sucks and takes WAY too long.
• I am in need of a vacation…and will be gone until Sunday.  W00T!!!

I seem to be completely unable to post on a consistent schedule.  I don’t think I ever will be, so thank you for putting up with my shit.  I love you guys.  Really.  =D

I FINALLY got around to giving a pair of jeans the Tay Trong treatment.  These will be on perpetual sample status because I should have started with a larger size of something straight legged as opposed to my actual size in skinnies.  Although they passed the “be seen in public walking for hours on end without ripping” test, they also did VERY well in the “making my right thigh mimic an opened tube of biscuit dough” test.  Not exactly a good look.  They are prettyfuckincool though.  Hell to put on and odd to take off, but prettyfuckincool.

Wearing:
Thrifted jacket
F21 cardigan & jeans (well, before I…altered…them)
Vintage Brigade Rosse shirt
Colonial Madness boots
handmade beanie

All of today was spent prepping for our road trip up to NorCal for Christmas.  There was WAY too much walking involved but I did come away with this quilted army green jacket from a stop over at le Good-weezy.  I got a black dress that I plan on altering, too.

I seem to have the DIY fever.  Catch the wave, yo.

Gotta go pack now.  You guys have a kickass holiday…or whatever else you plan on doing this week.  If it involves eating, save me a plate.  Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks!
