Freaky Friday

Friday, January 25, 2013

 Alright, lets announce the winner (or, in my house  -- the wiener) of the ModestPop giveaway -- Micha Davis it's you it's you! Look for an email today with your gift card code and buy something pretty!

Good news everyone! I think we're finally over the flu of death. Ahhhhh and it only took 10 days. My daughter finally went back to school today which was huge because she'd missed almost a week. Luckily, we've gone on four trips since school started in the fall so it's not like she's missed a lot of school or anything. MOM OF THE YEAR. It's OK, I'm well aware she'll get by on her looks. Kidding! Kind of.

Anyway, I'm celebrating our rising from the dead by actually leaving the house today. It's exciting. I might buy something.

 The Apple Bag by Hermes. It finally solves the age-old problem of having an apple, but not knowing how to transport it anywhere. Ugh, do you expect me to hold it in my hands like a peasant?



 Polka dots: In. Polka dots and this: Barf.


 Can we talk about leg squidge here? Because it's never a good thing. But leg squidge with acid wash and we're talking that horrible overweight Courtney Love phase.


 I'm not an Anthropologie wearer at the best of times... it's a little twee for me. But especially not when in this chambray ankle skirt. Those flap pockets and buttons are like, Sunday School teacher circa 1992. Chambray doesn't have to be on everything, OK? 


 The "Navajo Hood" Because yes, I'm sure Native Americans just love when hipsters prance around pretending to be wolf gods. Like, I hope you get shot with a reproduction of a traditional Navajo arrow.

 I had a dog groomer once who wanted to name her daughter Arwen and I talked her out of it. 

But this dress? Somewhere, a fanboy is having feelings he's never felt before. 

 "Excuse me, my eyes are up... oh wait. They actually are down there. Carry on then."
 Rebecca sent me yet another fantastic yarn creation. Or you could just wear like, shoes? 

And I'm sorry, do we live in a world where you need something to make flip flops MORE comfortable? They literally attach to your feet with like 6 inches of material. If you can't handle that, then you shouldn't be allowed to own footwear. 

 Other shirts in this collection:
"I Have a Blog for Cooking for One"
"I DVR Shows About Animal Bloopers"
"I Don't Know Why No One Responds to my Online Dating Profile."
"I Crochet Foot Covers for my Flip Flops"
"Please... Someone Love Me. Please."

 Remember when MTV brought back Beavis and Butthead for like, a minute a couple of years ago? And we all realized that it was only funny when you were 16 and hiding in the basement with your boyfriend telling your parents that you were studying really hard for Ancient Civilizations? I feel like even your 16 year old self would be like "Yeaaaaaah no" to this.

Thank Brenda!

Oh, shoot, I missed the memo about cat sweaters being tucked into control top underwear being cool. BOY is my face red.
(Thaaaanks Anna) 


Of course, the day I finally get to venture out of my house is the day we have crazy fog up here on the mountain. But it's OK because I live life on the edge/have really good foglamps.

Happy weekend party people!

First off, Wahoo!!! Can't believe I won :)

Second, don't hate me but my daughter has one of those ugly wolf hats. I DIDN'T buy it for her, her dad and his girlfriend did. It's turned out to be really fun since she is completely into Monster High and can pretend to be Clawdeen Wolf. I thought for sure she'd get ripped on at school but instead it's been really popular. Ugh. On a good note, she is only 10 so it can be chalked up to making a fun childhood instead of being evaluated for fashion.

Glad you're feeling better. We have the flu of death, too. I managed to sit up long enough to read your blog. Probably should have used my 10 minutes of vertical time to do laundry or something, but I've got priorities...

Oh my daughter totally has a purple one of those hats. But there's a difference between what's OK for kids and what's OK for grown adults. Also, my dad bought it for her. I think it's awful lol.

Misty nooooo the flu of death. Luckily it only lasts forever!

re: bear/wolf hats
Also totally appropriate for wearing to Sweet Potato Queen get-togethers as well. (scroll down)

And yes, I bought it for myself. (What? It was on clearance!)And no, I am not ashamed of that. Though I'd be lying if I said it wasn't relegated to campfires and cosplay exclusively.

Jae said...

Bahaha as long as you don't wear it to the grocery store!

I'm not making any promises. ;)
