My life in pictures

My grand plan of taking daily outfit photos has gone by the wayside, but I have managed to scrounge up a few shots to document some special looks from last fall, the spring, and now. Many of these shots are courtesy of friends, since I don't have a great camera and I forget the one I have every time I have an event.

This was taken in the photo booth at Johnny Brenda's at the race to raise the roof benefit. Mary, Alex, and I tried to actually use the photo booth, but it wasn't working, so we improvised. I really love this photo strip, not only for the strip itself but of the good memory and the great people there at the show.



T-shirt is from Sexy Dynamite London


Okay, this is from early last fall. I was having fun with a wig I got on sale...



Wig: hair store, shirt: H&M, shorts: thrifted, shoes: vintage from Gretchen

Halloween at the Henri David Ball. I was an ex-expendable crew member of the starship enterprise.



Dress: thrifted, boots: Doc Martens

Dance of Vice: Shipwreck ball! Carla and I decided to go as drowned pirate sisters. This photo was on metromix:



A comparison: A shot of me with Brian Viglione (the best half of the Dresden Dolls, in my opinion) at the shipwreck ball and also one from last spring's ball ( I went as a Phoenician goddess.) He is a wonderful person and it was great meeting him and seeing him again!





And here are Carla and I at Dances of Vice: Trouble in Toyland!



I made the tulle skirt and sash thing. Rocking horse shoes are Rose Chocolat, socks are from Angelic Pretty

I got this Air Force coat with matching pants at a thrift store and I wear both pieces a lot (though not together.)



This is at Mary's caroling party before Christmas. I had just gotten my hair cut that day at Jean Madeline. Miakoda and Kristin also made the shot.



Dress: Liz claiborne, thrifted

Sandra and I met Claire during her early spring break for korean food. This was my reaction to mugwort cake (though not really, it's actually delicious.) During the cold months, this was part of my staying warm wardrobe. The scarf is from scotland, courtesy of Mary. The wool sweater thing is vintage and a life saver.



I met Mary for brunch at the Standard Tap. The pashmina (thnaks Caitlin!) was another wardrobe staple during the cooler months, and was often wrapped around my head for protection from wind and rain (bring back babushka!) Sorry for the sideways view...



Blazer: thrifted, pants: Uniqulo, blouse: thrifted ($1) shoes: Nine west, thrifted, pashmina: gift (from n. africa)


Me, Miakoda, and Rachel are doing our best white hipster dance impression at the somewhat horrible Major Lazer show. Mary took this one.



dress: thrifted

And here is Genni, my sister, and I, pretending we can stand each other. She is in her horrible, moody teenage girl faze at the moment, sadly.



hat: vintage, yard sale, shirt: thrifted

I'm sure there are more shots floating around somewhere. Maybe I'll actually attempt to get some things posted more often! To end, here is me right now, in an H&M boys t-shirt:
