What I'm Wearing
* White and Warren gray crocheted dress from GILT ...seen here
* Vintage black silk cami worn under
* J Brand ink Lovestory bellbottom jeans ...last seen here
* Victoria's Secret black boyfriend cardigan
* Michael Antonio snakeskin printed leather wedges {ancient}
* Kenneth Jay Lane turquoise drop earrings from GILT
* Vintage Matisse turquoise necklace found on Ebay ...last worn here backwards with the copper side up
* old Tom Ford Yvette sunglasses
* Louis Vuitton medium Speedy ...and bored of it now ...on the hunt for a new bag starting now.

Yet again it was chilly until about 3pm today. I hear you NYers are having a massive heat wave ...um, I know this is a strange request coming from LA but do you mind sending the sun back our way? Please?

Stepping into the elevator after work, a man smiled at me then continued to pretend he was busy on his blackberry ...then out of nowhere exclaims "A rabbit's foot!?! I haven't seen one of those in years!" ...then walked out. I laughed to be polite but thought, really? Even if he hadn't seen on in years, {and I would refer to mine as vintage because it is indeed very old} was it really that insane to see a rabbit's foot?

PS - In Ontario, Canada (above NY) we are having a MASSIVE heatwave too. It's unbearable - it's SOOOO humid and over 100 degrees everyday!

the Turquoise makes your eyes pop--I love that stone--like the outfit too--have a great weekend.

I love the touches of turquoise against the neutral of the rest of the outfit. This set of photos also came out beautifully - do you photoshop any of these, or put them up as is?

Is it not taboo in the U.S to wear fur or sport parts of dead animals as accessories? Perhaps his comment was an ethical exclamation; albeit indirect.

I always admire your D.I.Y clothing, such creativity. By the way, I have simulated a ruffled scarf you made out of an old tartan one. Many people admire and comment on it. Thanks

love the crocheted dress!! So pretty!!

Amanda said...

No, L.A.!
I want to keep our heat! ;)

Love the crochet...and the word "crochet"...awesome!

Rabbit's FOOT??!!
Maybe he's super superstitious...and he thought you were a voodoo preistess...i mean, the earrings and necklace DO kinda support this assumption...
...or maybe he wanted to get in yo' pants...haa haa!

Great pick-up line:
"Rabbit's foot?! I haven't seen one of those in years! Wanna bang?"

Haa haa haa!

What he meant was, "Why bother? I'm old enough to be her grandfather. But let's see if she takes the bait..." What he was really thinking was, "A rabbit's foot is all we'll ever have in common because she's too young for me to keep up with."
I once had a guy tell me some of the same, except it was on a day I was wearing all white. "I didn't know any women wore all white anymore..." I scoffed and walked out of the elevator, "Maybe not any women over 80, Pops..." Give the old fart a thrill...LOL

結婚、離婚、結婚又離婚...
陳經理喜孜孜的帶著他的新婚妻子參加公司聚餐
陳經理一直是身邊親友茶餘飯後的話題
這是他的第四任妻子
背叛似乎是總慣性
也似乎之於陳經理而言,離婚也能成為一種慣性
他總是因為外遇而離婚
一次又一次
當女人渴望名分,他就要求另外一個女人成全
他流連花叢,女人不因他的離婚紀錄而卻步
似乎卻總是認為自己能夠成為那個「特別的人」
結婚、離婚對他而言不具意義,只是一種手段
反正他總是能找到另一個傻女人

人家都說男人到大陸都會外遇包二奶
老婆淚眼說擔心他外遇
他了解老婆的擔心,只好用錢去彌補分離的缺憾
漸漸的,老婆的電話愈來愈少…
她說,她是怕自己太依賴
漸漸的,他知道其實是她有了外遇
於是,面對自己外遇的行為,他忽然覺得好過了些…
