Twin Cities Headband!
(Just a quick warning: All of the pictures in this post are of me oogling my kitty, Pudge Rodriguez)
Monday I blogged about the new Twin Cities Knit Kits, which I’m in love with and can’t stop looking at in amazement from the other side of the room.
And, more importantly, can’t stop wearing.
And that are flying off the shelves! Get yours at The Sweatshop Etsy Page before they are gone.
I don’t think I’ve left the house without a Twin Cities headband on my head or Twin Cities socks on my feet.
Saturday my friend Jamie (<- follow immediately, and at Nice Jumpshot, too) had a launch party for the new Chicago culture blog Tremble Tremble and I seized the opportunity to yet again style my Twin Cities headband.
All weekend I was frantically putting together the kits. I was sticking stickers to something right up to the party opening bell tequila shot, so of course I didn’t notice that I royally screwed up the hem on this skirt.
This is one of the skirts I picked up at the estate sale in Portland, which didn’t remotely fit in Portland but magically fit Saturday night. The only problem? The hem had fallen out.
Lumpy Skirt
Clearly I couldn’t be bothered to pin it in place or measure anything before sewing it up, because that is one lumpy hem. I tried to just follow the holes left by the first hem. Sigh.
But the rest of this outfit is rockin! It’s the first time I’ve worn footless tights. I don’t really understand the point of footless tights, but I had them and thank god I had the foresight to wear them with heels so I didn’t look real stubby. The fuchsia tights look great with the flamingo Twin Cities headband!
Ouchies
I would hate to see how my knees would have looked if I wasn’t wearing tights when I beefed it down the stairs later that night! I spent all of Sunday under ice packs.
So. Stupid.
And, upon arriving back home after the party, I drunkenly washed the blood out of my tights but didn’t manage to wash my face. I had my priorities straight!
Pre-Knee Bust Up
At least I was looking cute beforehand!
Headband: Twin Cities Headband in Flamingo
Deep V Lace T-Shirt: Target a million years ago
Polka Dot Vintage Wrap Skirt: Portland estate sale
Fuchsia Footless Tights: Target
Pointy Black Heels: Payless
i beefed it going down 2 steps (concrete) to take the garbage out before I went ice skating of all things once upon a decade ago.
I sprained my ankle and ruined the tights I happened to be wearing.
my baby brother had to come and rescue me.
very pathetic.
everyone thought i beefed it skating.
would have made for a better story.
ouchies is right, but you DO look adorable in your outfit.
