Remember How I Said I Like Patterned Tights?

I ordered some fishnets so Amazon suggested I might want a ridding crop lol.

But I Do Wear A LOT of Eyeliner

So over the last year or so I've found that I'm really attracted to some goth(ish) fashion statements. Does this mean I'm going to start dressing like this?

Uh noooo. Not unless I'm going to a costume party or I'm in a play or something. But that is a mighty cool picture (sorry I don't actually know the original source).

The thing is what I really like is Victorian inspired fashion. As illustrated here. And I've always loved things that were well a little dark or spooky (Edward Gorey, Edgar Allen Poe, Ummm some other guy named Ed...).

By the way I knew there was a difference between Goth and Vampire (thanks to South Park) but apparently there's also Gothic Lolita (which is different from Goth) and Steampunk which is a whole other thing. And then there's EMO which oddly gets confused with Goth but seems to me to be related to Punk (which used to mean something totally different). I spent a LONG time on google trying to straighten out all the different trends and mostly just got confused. I also found out that Cosplay is not a fetish thing (I was confused because I kept seeing the term along with BDSM terms.... you come across interesting things when you go to web sites that sell corsets)

Okay sorry got distracted there for a minute. Here are a few things I found on Amazon that I would love to own. And may eventually buy.

I mentioned Poe right?

Ok Finaly Got Access to the Raw Pic from Yesterday

Man! Raw fiasco 2008 is finally under control. Hopefully not so many double posts from now on.

Today (above) I'm wearing pants from Victorias Secret, a shirt from Express, a blazer from Delias and these shoes.


Yesterday I wore a skirt and sweater both from Express and a tank from Old Navy and the fabu shoes I bought for cheap on Amazon.com.

J&R's Wedding

As promised here are some pics of what people wore to our friends wedding. I will hopefully also post a pic of the bride but I thought I'd give her veto power and as she's currently on her honeymoon.....

First and most importantly here's me! I got the dress at Macy's, and the wrap from Amazon. My jewelry's from Shane Co. (Can you believe I forgot to wear my wedding ring?). My sunglasses are Dior but I got them from Ebay. Dave didn't get my shoes in the picture but they are silver and from Chinese Laundry.

I don't know who this woman was, but is this not an awesome outfit? I could never pull it off but on her it was fabu.
Here's the dress I LOVED! I didn't get a great picture of it and again I don't know who she was but I was in love. I wanted to ask her if it was vintage but never got the chance. Now this one I could wear. The description that comes to my mind is vampire chic. Not goth that's to costumey.
Here's a better picture of the dress but not quite so nice of her. I hope she'll forgive me if she ever sees my site.
And here is an absolutely gorgeous vintage ring that a lady names Cheryl was wearing. She said it had been her grandmothers.

Two Days Worth

I didn't get around to posting yesterday mostly through laziness so today's a double dose.

Today I'm wearing the Old Navy Jeans and a sweater from Delias. This sweater is super soft & comfy & I wore it most of the time I was pregnant until I couldn't keep my belly from sticking out the bottom.

Yesterday brown editor pants from Express a blouse I bought on Amazon and also wore for quite a while when I was pregnant & my very most favorite sweatshirt from Lucky Jeans. I bought it in February when I was in Tahoe for my SIL's bachelorette party & I just didn't have enough warm clothes that fit. Keep in mind I'd just had a baby like 8 weeks before normally I would have packed more.
