trying to cheer myself up by dressing like a nut today. also, i’m having some mean, nasty cramps. so, why not wear an insane blue cocktail hat and 70s bellbottoms TOGETHER, right?
-blue vintage feathered cocktail hat with net: thrift town, SF
-black glossy clip-ons with birds on them: salvation army, e. 23rd street, manhattan, NYC (unseen)
-blue denim jacket: thrifted, now i can’t remember where! probably in florida on one of my visits back there. whoops!
-white tank with lace trim: some vintage store on haight
-black and blue fabric belt: alexis bittar
-bleach spot bell bottom jeans with uber high waist: goodwill, haight street, SF
-black patent leather flats: nordstroms a couple weeks ago
-this purse
i’m off to the thrift store and fabric store in a bit. maybe i’ll blow some people’s minds or perhaps their eyeballs right out of their heads with this get-up. fun!

KristinaI love it - also that it is monochromatic but not matchy. Report back on the looks you got, por favor!

KyleI was lucky enough to have my eyeballs blown own in person today, so I can attest to the outfit’s effectiveness. I don’t know how I would have missed the beautiful hat! feel better…at least there’s sun out today!

triciathanks everyone! it was a fun outfit to wear out. i definintely got stares! like, “whoa, holy crap!” i’d like to think they were good ones. also some guy yelled out of his truck, “nice hat!” or at least that’s what i am going to think he said, since i had my i-pod on.
kyle: what??? where? in the mission? yes, thank goodness it got sunny. the gray makes me sad!

RebeccaThe pants!!!

jennynice hat. that’s a crack up. i am just picturing you strut yer stuff with your itunes a’blastin.
you sassy thing, you.

jenniferwhat a fly outfit. you look pretty normal, excepting the jeans, i think. if they were a solid color i think you’d pass for a completely sane individual, even with the hat!. ;p (only teasing. you look gorgeous and i love that little jacket.)
August 2 2007 at 7:49 pm
triciajennifer: but i don’t wanna be sane! sanity is for normal people!
August 2 2007 at 8:41 pm
jennifert: then you’re obviously in good company. please feel better!

blingblingkittyI saw the outfit and said “what a nut!” (in a GOOOD way), and then scrolled down and read your post..”dressing like a nut”…anyway I love it! You have a great sense of humor and that’ll get you through. I love the quilt you have made and I enjoyed the pictures of your lovely abode. Thanks for sharing!

Kyleyes! I saw your striking red/blue hair/hat combo just as I was leaving t-town, and was sufficiently delighted by the ensemble. I wanted to wave or something, but realized that might seem strange.
