Wearing: A crown

As I write this I'm laughing at the thought of me, little old knotty haired me, wearing an actual crown. A toddler and tiara type crown. The more the merrier, rhinestones that is.

Good thing this kind of crown is a simple black line on a casual white tee. I'm clearly a fan of amusing graphic tees, so this falls right into that category. And by "fall" I mean "fits", there is no falling at pageants. I dressed it up with my silk pajama pants, ankle booties and a very aggressive top knot.

Wearing: Delicate white

Chicago be hot, clothes be minimal. For a Saturday out and about, I wore Daisy Duke-ish jorts and a delicate white top.

The tank was a stellar thrift store find, but a little more expensive than I usually entertain. You see, any item over seven dollars must be carefully and thoroughly assessed, analyzed, pro'd and con'd. After the typical and somewhat self-torturous evaluation, I decided: Life can't won't go on as I know it without this very top.

Anyway. Hummina hummina on the high cut of the jorts right?  

And finally, in an effort to have the least possible amount of clothes/hair/anything touching me on a 90 degree day, check out the modern low pony for us long-haired folks.

Wearing: Tiger tank and tutu

I'm so lucky I have a job that lets me wear tutus to work.

Guys, I don't work at a place that lets me wear tutus. I work in a relaxed advertising environment, yes, not as a dancer at Joffrey.

I wore this last weekend to lunch and I'm still not quite sure which piece got more looks: the tiger tank and its creepy green eyeballs or my full (and short) tutu. What's even more awkward is that when you stare at the tiger, it stares at you back. Muhaha.

Tiger tank: Forever 21
Tutu: Gifted by Mom
Shoes: Colin Stuart with Victoria's Secret (on sale!)
Sunglasses: Karen Walker
Clutch: Forever 21 (old, similar)

Summer wearing: Sheer skirts

Observation #1 on Summer 2012: everyone's naked.

No, but really, people are wearing really sheer clothes and I'm really loving it. Nipples showing? No problem. See-through skirts? Okay.

Wearing: Summery dress and ankle cages

If this dress doesn't scream summer, nothing does. The pattern is pretty slash hilarious; it looks to be an 80's graphic of Chinese fans. Or butterfly wings. Your call.

The Bakers sandals (please note the sandal binge I'm currently on) resemble little ankle cages. Little tiny jail cells for my ankles.

This is pretty much how I summertime roll: dress, sandals, no accessories.
