check out my bike

So sexy!
It took my bicycle fanatic photographer four tries before he remembered that the photo was supposed to be about my outfit, not the bike. I mean, both took me from errand-running during the day to a birthday party at night…


me and my bicycle
burgundy pompom touque – borrowed from Eve
green sweater – Painfully Hip Major Hip Replacement Clothing Swap
vintage jeans (Yeah, I live in these, so what?) – Bows & Arrows Vintage, $10
white nautical slip-ons – thrifted, $3

But now after seeing the photo, it totally is all about the bike…

Ah, but there are some cool buttons and keyhole sleeves on this sweater!

But I guess this photo is more about drinking what tasted like the Beer of Champagnes out of a champagne flute made out of the Champagne of Beers.
I guess there are more things to life than fashion.
….Go figger!

Anyone even vaguely acquainted with me knows that weather like today’s (grey, soggy and cool) puts me into an instant funk. Hence, this blooming parade float of an outfit to lift ye olde spirits. Bravo.

PS Total BOOTgasm.

Ah, Sherbet Tone. High-waisted flared tap shorts with ferocious platform pumps? Be still, my envious heart. It’s the perfect execution of the 40′s pin-up in a modern way. Plus? It’s ALL THRIFTED.
