Leather Thighs & Zipper Eyes

Omg, brah! Check out my new canvas bag! It's f*cking insane! Haha! <3 I can't wait for farmer's market to start up again so I can scare unsuspecting olds and innocent children with this beast of a bag. ^__^

Picture

Man, this veritable bag of holding (gold star for the nerds who smirked at that reference) is so rad sauce. It's freakin' huuuuge and so obnoxious. Haha. I'm pretty sure you can see the print from a mile away. The bag itself is sturdy and it has a velcro strip at the top to keep it closed. Also, it has actual zippers coiled around the kid's eyes! TIL Darling has several of these (equally crazy) carry-all tote bags from which to choose, but I had to have this one. Its insanity spoke to me. What can I say? Haha.

Picture

On this day, my partner and I grabbed coffee and then took a little detour on a side street to get these photos for you guys. We had a bunch of errands to run (i.e. grocery shopping and Bed Bath & Beyond shenanigans - can you believe we didn't have a spice rack until last week? It's painful to think about Haha >_<). Where was I? Erm.. Oh! So, this huge bag came in handy, because the grocery store we went to only had plastic bags. I hate that. I always ask for paper so we can use it for our recycling.

I know, this is very important information for you guys. Haha.
There's a point to all of this somewhere.. Hmm. Oh, the point is that this kick ass canvas bag held a LOT of groceries. Like three to four plastic bags worth! The weight of the bag didn't put strain on the handles. It was very comfortable to carry. Needless to say, I was a very happy camper. I scared people and helped the environment.  ^_^

Picture

Alright, enough about the bag. Haha. What else am I wearing? Well, this outfit is mostly recycled. You last saw the ModCloth houndstooth dress in this previous post, the thrifted pleather leggings were last worn here and the TIL Darling vegan leather jacket was last worn here, among other posts.

The studded backpack, however, is a new addition! I received it from my sponsor, Sammydress. It
cost about $16.00 and it's large enough to hold my 13 inch Macbook with room to spare. So, it's perfect basically. The dark color makes it go with every outfit, which is key, because I really wanted a bag I could carry at any time and that would hold all of my coffee shop loitering essentials. Hehe.

Picture

The studs make it a little more interesting and edgier than a regular black backpack and that's why I decided to wear it instead of using a handbag. It added to the scariness of the outfit, I guess. Haha. I just stuffed my zipper pouch full of awesomeness, wallet, phone and thick scarf in there.
Good to go! :D

Picture

Wait, there's more! Hehe. You might have noticed a strange yellow substance plaguing my knee caps. o_O O_o That would be a pair of mustard ModCloth tights I got from my clothing swap group.
I realized that I put together a classic, monochromatic outfit. So, to shake things up a bit, I wore the mustard tights underneath the leggings. This way, I could unzip them and show off a little color. :P

You guys! It was actually warm enough for bare ankles! Omg omg omg <3 35 degrees never felt so good. Haha. There were puddles everywhere. The official first day of Spring was last Thursday, so yeah. I hope the snow keeps melting! I can't wait to see budding leaves on the trees. ^_^

Picture

The high waisted corduroys are the only new thing I'm wearing. I got them from my clothing swap group earlier in the year. You probably already know this, but I'm obsessed with corduroy. Dresses, pants, blazers, whatever. If it's corduroy, I want it. Right now, I have grey, purple, green and brown corduroy pants. I really want navy, pumpkin orange and maybe white. White pants kinda scare me. Hehe.

The rest of the outfit is the product of remixing. I'm trying not to buy any new clothes. So, I find myself trying to figure out how to wear things multiple ways without looking like a hobo. Haha. It's challenge, but I'm enjoying it! ^_^ My goal is to continue the spending freeze for the entire year, so wish me luck!

Picture

The studded loafers are pretty rad. I haven't worn them since last Summer. Click here to see how I styled them back then.
I wanted the outfit to have a menswear feel to it and I think the loafers worked in combination with the coat and fedora to make that happen. I'm glad it was warm enough to wear them!

Picture

I'm obsessed with figuring out optimal color pairings with regard to different shades of the same hue. So, that's why I'm wearing grey pants and a grey coat together. :P I found the light and dark greys to be aesthetically pleasing. I'm currently tinkering with different shades of red. We'll see how it goes. ;D

Picture

I cherish this vintage wool Eddie Bauer sweater. <3 The farm animal scene is just too adorable! There are small holes in some parts of the fabric, but the copyright on the tag reveals that this baby is from 1987, so I think it has held up well, all things considered. Click here to see how I last wore it. :P

Picture

OK, I'll stop babbling, now. :D I hope you like this very simple, but fun outfit! <3
