down the rabbit hole

So maybe I have disappeared for the past few days. At least I was having fun right? So this is the outfit for yesterday.

Dress is Gap kids. They had one at Banana Republic for 98 bucks that looked just like this one that I got for 6.97 with an additional 30% off. How could I not get it. It's way cute.
Hat is one I made. It's just like the cream one from last weekend, just black of course.
Cardigan is a black half sleeve Gap one.
Legging pants are grey Gap ones.
Flats are my black satin Gap ones.


Sunday I wore a Gap cotton dress. It has pockets. So cool.
Gap hemp belt.
Blowfish Falls boots in whiskey.


My Halloween costume was Alice. I have strangely never been Alice before. I have always loved those books. When I was little on vacation my mom would read them to me because I loved them even though she hated them. I think she's coming around a bit though.

Dress is one that I made years ago out of an old linen skirt. I love this dress and it is thrashed. I might have to make a remake out of my remake. It also has pockets... which I love of course.
Apron I made on Saturday. Way simple.
Gap cream lace tights.
black ribbon in hair. I think it came from some gift I got a few years ago.
Blowfish Sugar maryjanes in whiskey.


Saturday was a big work day for me because for some reason I told somebody I would cover their shift after I worked a shift. Fine for a normal day, but the Halloween Saturday? I wasn't too quick on that one.

Black Gap dress and red plaid flannel shirt.
Red belt with flowers claimed from an old roommate.
Black Justin boots given to me by my sister who can no longer fit into them.


Friday was a shipment day at work so I had to work with that and the dress.

Navy blue Gap jumper with pockets.
Maroon double layer Gap men's henley remade to fit me.
Black ribbon in hair.
Blowfish Falls boots in whiskey.


I wasn't scheduled to work on Thursday, so I just threw anything on... then I said I would cover for someone that was sick. I'm just that nice. My only day off huh?

Dress is an Urban Outfitters dress I got living in Dallas. It was my first dress that I got for myself. Sad that it was only five years ago and now look at me.
Here are the grey legging pants again, as well as my black satin flats.

three two one

So I may have been busy, so here are the past three days all at once. On Thursday I went to Salt Lake and hung out with my Joe friend. We wandered down town and then went to a bar and had some delicious food. He took a few pictures of me when we were wandering around. There was one little spot in the sidewalk with a single rose. He had to get a shot of that.


I was wearing a cream dress that I made from my own little head and dress form. I have too much fun just draping sometimes.
The jacket is a navy Gap military jacket.
The tights are my blue polka dot Gap tights.
The shoes are brown Steve Madden tuxxedo shoes.
The hat is one that I crocheted. I like that it's kind of 20's.


Friday night I went to see the wonderful and amazing Jonsi with my dear friend Dave. We decided that we are apparently Friday friends... cause that's when we hang out. These are a couple of pictures I took on my phone while I was there. The show was truly amazing. The crowd was silent when they needed to be. The sound was perfect. They energy was great.


I'm five feet tall. So we were like 10 feet from the front, but this cluster of people over six feet tall was standing right in front of us. It was hard to see, but I could usually get around their shoulders. About four songs from the end one of them walked off and my friends shoved me up there. Front row. He kept walking over right in front of me, and when he was playing the keyboard it was right in front of me as well. Pretty much awesome.


This is what I wore yesterday. I did change out of the dress and into a tshirt for the concert though. It was all hot and sticky in there and cold outside. A dress and sweater with jeans wouldn't do.
The dress is an old Gap one.
The sweater and shoes are Gap as well.
The jeans are Refuge. They're cheap and they fit. Woot.


Now this is today. It's an inside kind of day. The pants are stretchy black legging pant things from the Gap with little zippers in the back and seams along the front and back. If I wasn't wearing dresses every day I'd probably be wearing these right now.
The dress is one I got from Urban Otfitters a long time ago. No shoes are required today... because I'm a bum.

POP!

Today I wore my dress with fireworks on it, so it's only fitting that I should be jumping on the bed. Right?


This is my oh so comfy bed. Complete with a sheepskin and lots of pillows, most of which are homemade. I don't think it's been made since I last washed the sheets. Oh well.


The painting on the wall is one that I did, as well as the bird painting that may have been in the shots a couple of days ago. I really need to get more done and put them on the wall. That deer looks lonely.


I went to the temple after work today, so I had to find an appropriate outfit. I thought it was great... until I walked in and realized my tights practically glow blue. Oh well.


The dress is a grey jersey knit Urban Outfitters dress with fireworks on it from a few years ago.
The cardigan is a black Gap boyfriend cardigan with awesome pockets. I was chowing down on hidden candy corn at work all day because of them.
The tights are Gap from last year. I picked them up when my purple ones got a hole in them. That was a sad day.
The shoes are black satin Gap flats from years ago as well.


Well, I'm off to start my very long weekend. Happy day! I'm starting it off by going to Salt Lake and hanging out with my Josephus Joefriend tomorrow. Should be fun, and the pictures should be better.

another day another dress

Today I slept in way later than necessary, but I deserved it. I was up way too late last night and didn't have to be at work until 3:00. YAY! It was a shipment day though, and I am the one that usually opens the boxes, so I had to make sure it was casual enough and I could move around in it without getting in the way. I think I succeeded.


When I walked into work one of the girls heard my voice before she saw me and just yelled "Kess is wearing a dress!" Then someone from the office yelled "Kess wore a dress yesterday!" Then the girl right next to me yelled "Kess is wearing a dress every day for a month!" I don't know why, but it made me happy. There was a brief discussion about it afterward, but that was it.


The dress today is another one from Urban Outfitters. I got it the same day I got the one I wore yesterday. I also got a blue shirt that day. I must have been going through a blue thing. Anyway, I love the way it fits, and the fact that it has pockets. Every dress should have pockets. The first dress for a dress a day had pockets as well.
The tights are from the Gap. They are from this season. I think they are really cute with the blue dots. The remind me of the ones I would wear on Sundays when I was a little girl (yes smaller than I am now. It is possible) running across the street to church.
The shoes are old brown suede Gap ones that I got years ago on sale.
The shirt is a men's waffle pajama shirt I got from the Gap last year on sale and sewed up the sides and arms so it would fit me. I have a lot of shirts like that. The men's shirts are always so comfortable.


I realized yesterday that I needed to smile more in my pictures. I just look so gloomy most of the time. I mean I probably won't all the time just because they are dress a day shots, but still. Well, I'm tired and I think a spider bit my arm, so I'm off. Night. I'll be back tomorrow.

does this dress make me look asian?

We're like the same person. Me and my Dress form. Slightly creepy, but for some reason I thought it would be fun. You'll probably see the dress that's on the dress form on me sometime this month as well.


So I was at work today and this cute Asian girl complimented my dress, then proceeded to become best friends with me, show me her new tattoo, tell me about her past relationships and her plans for the night. It was delightful. It's one of the many wonders of working retail at a place that focuses on customer service. Anyway, I took it as a huge compliment. I usually take it that way when an Asian compliments my appearance because as a culture I adore their style.


The cardigan today was a cream boyfriend cardigan from the Gap... once again.
The dress was from Urban Outfitters. I love that it buttons in the back and has an open spot. Unfortunately I can't wear it with my back showing, so I have a red shade top on. Typical I know, but somehow it works.
The shoes are also from the Gap. Cute little red leather flats.


So my thing today was really I guess just a long bath. Becca and I also had rice balls and tea and are watching Gilmore Girls. Yeah, so my nine hour work day and the fact that the sun is going down earlier and earlier kind of kept me from doing anything too exciting. Then again a nice long bath is ALWAYS a good thing. Until tomorrow!
