Closet - yikes!

Digging into eternity (aka my closet) for my suitcase for Mexico. Ended up sorting thru a few foreign items I forgot I even owned. 1 Sell bag down and 1 to go. Thanks for the late afternoon cocktails RD! I've been drunk cleaning ever since. Awesome.

OMG - almost forgot. I'm wearing the dredded old granny uglies that I blogged about on Friday and I LOVE THEM. Can't wait to get my next not so UGLY pair.

Weekend Hustle

Uggh. I can't believe I was back out selling and trading my clothes again all in hopes to get some cash for new Fall lovelies. Today I picked up a pair of low heeled tan oxfords that seem to be ridiculously comfy. I don't remember the name of the shop but I will be a regular. Adorable gay boys working the counter and comfy cute shoes. I'm addicted.

Uglies

Last month I spent way too much money on what I thought were the perfect pair of Frye sandals. Of course they pinch my flinstone toes and of course I wore them outside so I can't return. And the shoe repair guy says no to stretching. Long story short I'm stuck with them until they're in season and even then I can only try to sell them to Tokyo 7. sucks. So onto the "Uglies". David, the old shoe man tricked me into trying on a pair of those German old lady sandals. Of course they felt like heaven and I bought on the spot. I chose the ugliest pair, not sure why but it felt right. I will be getting another pair (a not so ugly version). Suppose to be hot all weekend so a pic is on it's way.

BTW the vest is one of the pieces I got from the stylist guy in Harlem. It has thin white stripes and a pocket inside so cute grandpa.

My Lucky Day

Randomly, Berka took us to his friends apartment in Harlem today. His friend (Nick the stylist) is moving to LA and was purging his vintage frocks and shoes that he saved from photo shoots etc...
I scored a few "Joan Clayton" pieces. My Tokyo Police Club bag was stuffed. So glad we went, Court. Hate that I didn't take a picture of him and all the goodies we left behind. O well.
p.s. this is one of my favorite vintage shirts. It has teany white bows on it.
p.s.s with jeans the vintage oxfords don't look like boats so they shall be loved!

Some things never change. Is that good?

I remember wearing white moccasins when I was...maybe 6?

My Uniform

After work I headed downtown with Joe in search of a navy sweater vest. He wanted a hoodie and jeans for his trip to France and I wanted the sweater vest because one, I'm a nerd and two, I'll have an excuse to hold on to my too tight, need to give up button down shirts that can nicely fit under (Ahaaa!) He scored yet another button down from Supreme, a nice addition to what I call his "private school shirt collection". Hello I spent way too many years in private school to not know a uniform when I see it. Anyway, neither of us had too much luck with our goal items of the day so we parted ways.

On my walk home I stopped into the new Forever 21 on Broadway. I know, I know, it's totally off limits but I heard from a secret teenaged spy that they have colored jeans so I thought I'd check them out. My eyes went straight for the navy stretch skinny jeans. Hate to say it but they were perfect, unfortunelty I kinda looked out of control in them so I had to pass up.

Here's a pic of me in My Uniform (photographed Susie Bubbles Style)

laundry

Saw Julia Styles as I was doing laundry. She wasn't doing her laundry but she walked past. She looked cute. long fluffy ponytail and fitted plaid shirt. Wish I could still fit my button down shirts. Ewww boobs

Speaking of FASHIONABLE celeb sightings, the best of Summer '07 are as follows: chloe s (great high waisted shorts) on 1st ave and parker posey (jeans n cute blousy shirt- I'm always envious of a perfectly blousy shirt on someone) she was strolling thru tompkins square park. And I think I saw Joan aka Tracee Ellis Ross in Soho but that may have been a lovely dream instead of reality.

I'm baacckk

It's 63 degress outside right now! Whawhoo! Def was warmer this afternoon in the sun but there was an amzing Indian Summer kinda breeze. Love it.
I need Fall clothes and I should be shopping but I actually spent the day selling a lot of my clothes to thrift shops in Brooklyn with Courtney and Ib. So anyway - the post. Baggy sweatshirt dress and tights: the perfect no-brainer. I actually wanted to wear vintage brown oxfords I bought over the summer (they look great with tights) but the fit is sadly less than perfection. They may end up in my sell bag.
