in love with these outfits, no?

i got sucked into the black hole of japanese clothing sites earlier and came out the other side in paris.  i swear to god it's a good thing this stuff is not readily available to me.  you know like, i could zoom over to target and throw a pile in the cart or something.

i actually have a small small wardrobe.  calling it a wardrobe is misleading.  cut off sweatpants and stretched out bras and stained t-shirts....what category does that stuff fit into?  did i hear someone yell rags??  haha.  very funny.  

i've been wearing the same ensemble every day lately which involves pants that are leggings but heavier and with a pocket on the butt so i can justify going out in public in them.  (yes, they sound suspiciously like sweatpants, however j crew refers to them as the "saturday pant" so that's what we're gonna go with.)  somehow that pocket makes it a-okay.  super comfy with an elastic waistband.  hells yeah, pass me another slice o' pizza.

ANYWAY,

i've been dyeing fabric outside in the freezing cold and wind.  i also already went for a walk.  and now i'm sitting here all like, ho-di-doh, what should i do with myself?  cleaning got crossed off the list right quick.  i guess i'll go make something with the sewing machine.

OH, IMPORTANT PS.  IF THERE'S A READER OUT THERE WITH THE ETSY NAME "TRAVLGIRL" (OR SOMETHING CLOSE TO THIS) WHO'S BEEN DISCUSSING A CUSTOM BAG ORDER WITH ME...EMAIL OR CONVO ME!  I'VE LOST YOUR CONVOS (BOO!) AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU.  A MILLION SORRIES.

yes, please

more auction and me outfit

i'm going to meet my husband at the auction tonite.  here are some more picks for you to peruse.  advice welcome.  anything here awesome or anti-awesome in your opinion?  actually, i'm still driving the rental corolla so large objects aren't realistic purchases.  but in case you didn't know, i'm not terribly realistic.

i'll be bringing my knitting with me like a good old auction lay-dee.  it'll be fun no matter.

and i was gonna post these another time but i'm gonna throw some more pictures on here:

i got the vintage fair isle sweater last night at an antiques shop ($14).  it's got a nice old tag on it and i think it's circa 1950s but i'm a total amateur about vintage clothes.  also last night i found an old blue le crueset pot and bought it for $11.  and here's a picture of those vintage leather baseball cleats i got resoled.  i freaking love them.  and i'm still feeling pretty high on myself for thinking up the idea.  plus i'm wearing an antique linen night gown as a dress today.  stylin'.

ok, enough with the small talk and, frankly, the procrastination.  i got orders to fill.  it's just that i like you guys so much. and you're all so pretty.

black party dress

via croatia vintage

there are also beautiful non-black dresses such as this and this.  check out the detail photos on that second one.  great pattern and color.  also this little number which already sold.  man, i love that one.

i went to the eye doc and got my pupils dilated this morning.  it's been very frusterating since...not being able to thread a needle or use the seam ripper.  i was thinking about how lucky i am to have good vision.  i couldn't do the work i do without it.  so i'm grateful.
