As you may have gathered, I like to shop. A lot. Which means I end up with some things that don’t quite fit, that I wear once and am like, meh. Not feeling it. Most of these notquiteright items are new / nearly new and nice enough brands that I don’t want to just chuck them in…

Vampire summer: A pale girl’s guide
I don’t do well in heat. Like rash/barf not well. I burn in 10 minutes and no, it does not turn into a “base tan” whatever the fuck that is. I burn, peel, freckle, and die. But yet, in what appears to be some kind of cycle, summer is here again. Yea. It’s not that…
OOTD: OG style (that’s Olde Goth)
This is goth grownup. (Please play Joy Division in your head right now). I love color and print but all black will always be all Queen Bitch.
Ootd: Sweater dress. In May. WHY.
Ah, Colorado. I bought this dress knowing it would be October before it made an appearance but good ‘Ol Colorado weather brought it out sooner. Yea? Maybe weather gods will come take these damn files? I can sacrifice the crazy bone and animal tail necklace (yes it’s real but it’s like 150 years old so…
Ootd: I just can’t
The worst part of Adult is that you have to like, do shit. All the time. Even when you feel like dog balls and it’s raining. Luckily office friend has a Sherlock Holmes couch for self pity flopping. Wearing a cheerful skirt but it’s not working. Even a tweed/ floral combo can’t help me now….
Jail birds ootd
I don’t know what’s more strange- the number of shirts I own with bird print or the fact that I seem to wear them whenever I have to go to the jail. Today I realized it’s a subliminal message to my clients….
Buy boots in May? Hell yea.
Buying off-season is one of the best ways to get good stuff for a fraction of full retail price. This time of year, any remaining boots, sweaters, coats, etc that are still lingering in stores are at firesale prices. Case in point: 4.Collective sweater dress from NM LastCall picked up this weekend. It’s thick…
OOTD: Fake Thin-ness
Well, it’s finally sunny here in Denver and…. I have to spend the day at a conference on vicarious trauma. Naturally. To combat the overzealous AC, I wore a little leather/ wool combo jacket by Sachin & Babi which makes me look thing even after my 5th free conference croissant. Jeans, Paige. Brown tank Gap…
OOTD: Mostly just coffee
When motivation is at an all-time low, it’s time for coffee (I think this is #3) and Neko Atsume. I love mixed print more than anything (other than cats and coffee) and this dress does it for me. I took some creepy close ups so you can see the amazing workmanship that went into this….
OOTD: WTF?
Today I’m wearing snow. Because it’s snowing. Like right now. Oh and a beautiful J.Crew pearl necklace.
OOTD: hang me by pussy bow please
Look! I can use my blouse to commit suicide, which is what I want to do after looking at the mess the kids made (see, scenic background). A light shirt under a modest shift or a-line dress is a super easy way to look grown up as seasons transition without having to buy new stuff.
OOTD: Bad news with swans
What does a girl wear on a semi-cas trip to the jail to see clients? Swans. You can’t get too depressed with swans. The pink shoes add a little cheer although not sure how advisable open toe is in a penal setting. Heheh. Penal. Skirt, Ellie Tahari. Sweater, J.Crew. Shoes, Cole Haan. Bag, Kate Spade. Silk…
