Check us out: in our Downtown Bar-Hopping Duds

We went bar-hopping and to our buddy Nate’s show the other night (he’s in the background with Amber’s dearest roommate Angie in her turquoise wedges and leopard print skirt). I got this giant 80’s turquoise cardigan for $1 at a thrift store and belted it (with a lovely ruched Christmas gift from my dear Amber), added over the knee socks from target and some slouchy flat ankle booties from Payless, and BAM! Outfit. Underneath is pair of vintage Calvin Klein shorts and a way-too-sexy-to-wear-in-public orange halter.
Amber wore her trusty pleather bomber from Le Chateau in Whistler, grey skinny jeans from Target, her favorite vintage punched leather oxford flats, and this amazing glammer than glam rust top with gold stud details…

that I’ve had for ages, but never wore. Goes to show, one girl’s drawer-liner is another girl’s favorite dancin’ duds.

    I think calling yourselves “bar-hopping duds” is a trap. anyone who says ‘yeah you are’ looks like an asshole and anyone who says “OMG UR NOT” looks like they were set up.

    no room for anyone to expose their genuine opinion in a vacuum… free of prejudice.

    Miguel, I, as you, detest phishing for compliments by deriding oneself. However, “duds” is just another word for “outfit” where I come from. And our posts strive to be the perfect petri dish for expressing ones’ opinion.
    Cheers.
