Today's purchases on Endless.com... about $170 total.
Charles by Charles David mary janes, 25% off $80.
Joe's Jeans Shoes wedges, 25% off $128.
Yeah.

I also went and spent $70 today at JCP in town.
I didn't mean for it to happen, but I returned something & got a store credit.
Then I tried on stuff.
Stretchy capri jeans for $7!
A dress-n-jacket combo (in black & white pokadots) for $13!
A black lace tunic for $12!
Two pairs of black leggings for $12!
And... a flowy black cardigan for $23... I couldn't resist.

But I have learned a lesson today;
no matter if I like the stuff right away or not KEEP THE RECEIPTS!
:o)

wedgie?

I love love love wedges. I'm a bit obsessed.
These images are from last year; I was even drooling over wedges THEN. Jeez.


Haiku Ambulance.
I like the combo of colors. Beautiful!


Second Skin.
Edgey and funky. I love black... and Levis... and red leather purses.
Style Porn.
Love the belt; it's unexpected. And the lace-up wedges!
Vintage Vandalism.
I want a pic like this of me for my honey. Hot stuff, huh?

I bought these shoes @Target; they are a size 8.5... BUT THEY WERE $6...! Tight, but I'll work it out.

I have MORE inspirational images saved on the iMac at home; I figured I should clear off my desktop at work since I save them as their blog name - meaning that Style Porn's image was saved as Style Porn. Eeeek. I think I could've explained that to Wade, but, yeah...

and on the fourth day...

MAGIC:

How to take a "proper" floral (almost brocade-ish) sheath and punk it out, professor-style.
Add heavy accessories (vintage western leather belt + Jeffrey Campbell's Woodies + thick gold&black bracelet) and a fishnet cardigan. Spray on a bit of spray-tan and some big gold hoops... there you go.

This was definitely my favorite outfit of the week. I felt the most ME in it. Yay. The dress came with a matching jacket (of course), and I think I found it at Savers for $6. Probably got it for 50% even. And I'll definitely wear it AGAIN and AGAIN.

It's a size 16, and it is roomy in the bust, but other than that the fit worked. I did take the belt off for long bouts at my desk just because it's so fitted in the hips, yet has plenty of leftover belly room.

first days of school.

I'm not impressed with my hair/face in the middle picture, but what are ya gonna do? Sometimes, we are not photogenic, right? Right. And I look more country bumpkin in that middle one than I wanted to. Plus, the one on the right was much more hippie-inspired than... a-mom-from-the-90s inspired.
Yeah.
Tomorrow... I'm going back to my ROOTS. My BLACK ROOTS, that is. I miss wearing black; I love black. I attempt a colorful trio here and there (evidenced above), but I love sh*t that says EDGE or ROCK-n-ROLL, man.
Yep.
So... I may punk out a floral sheath (that came with a matching jacket for like $6) OR I may go with my splatter-painted leggings (from Kohl's) and a black tunic (with, of course, peep-toed wedged black booties - duh). Either way, I'm BLACKING it up tomorrow.
Yes.
That whole silly stereotypical phrase, "Once you go black, you never go back," doesn't mean the same thing to me as it does to others. Most of the planet thinks that's a perverted reference; for me, it's about CLOTHING.
