If you've never played kick ball in a tutu while spilling a beer running from base to base, you're missing out, brah. Hehe. I was on a beer league for a couple years and quite frankly, if you didn't dress up for a game, it was assumed that something was wrong with you. Haha. I would totally wear this outfit (sans cardigan, floral blouse and cute shoes) for a knock down, drag out game. ^_^ Also, this is not my cat. Heh. This cute furry feline decided that my photos would look a lot better with him/her (I didn't look that closely so I have no idea haha) in it. It just appeared out of some brush and rubbed my legs. :D

Picture

Gaaaaaah! >_< Kitty, can't you see I'm trying to take pictures, here?! OK, fine. I'll pet you. <3 Hehe.

Picture

What? Oh, yeah. I can totally strike a pose next to a cute cat. No worries, bro. I got this! *^___^*

Picture

With today's outfit, I decided to do just that with a quirky combination of casual and formal. If this outfit gives you weird feelings, just know that this is normal and also, that I have succeeded in what I set out to accomplish. Haha. If I garnered just one crooked smile from a passerby, then it was all worth it. ^_^

Picture

Oh, hey! Kitty decided to take a load off in some nearby tall grass. *Sniff* I miss cat bro, already. <3

Picture

It was date night, by the way! My partner made a dinner reservation and I had the bright idea to drop by the park to chronicle what I wore and then head over. It was a quick 15 minute ordeal as I'm not wearing a whole lot of layers (so there's no need to do any of the usual onion peeling hehe). I did remove the mixed pattern eyelet cardigan, though, just so you could see more of the Sports! t-shirt.

I liked the shirt because, for me, it's basically a play on your average type tee that says meaningless sh*t like "Bacon" or "College." Heh. I find it humorous, because it's making a rather useless and vague announcement.
I guess the ironic hipster in me just couldn't help but love the sarcastic exclamation.

Picture

Why the floral blouse underneath? Wellllllll.... the thing is, I felt like the outfit needed something to definitively send it over the edge. The plain round neckline struck me as boring. I played around with different collars of various colors. Eventually, I settled on this black floral. I wanted the outfit to be fun, eclectic and a little off-beat. In that sense, I think the floral collar stands out in a good way. :D

Picture

I feel like I haven't worn this red buckled satchel in forever, probably because it HAS been quite awhile. Click here to see another quirky outfit with which I wore this bag back in February. As I've mentioned in the past, I have to make a conscious decision to wear bright colors. It's so easy for me to go for a brown or black bag, because those colors go with just about anything. Red, on the other hand, makes things a bit tricky, at least for me. Hehe. I think this particular color nicely compliments the outfit.

Picture

Jumping shots are so friggin' difficult, so I don't do them often. I have to say, I really like this one, though! It's like I'm some kind of levitating ballerina. Hehe. OK, I'll stop talking at you now. *^_^*

I feel you on the ironic T-shirt thing, who started this awful idea? But like you said, is totally something I would wear to that beer league of yours, haha!

I've never heard of a beer league but it sounds crazy- and fun. This outfit is so fun because it is mixing that very athletic with the very girly.

You are so lucky that that little dude decided to make himself a part of your outfit pictures! I'm kind of a crazy cat lady, and whenever I see cats roaming around I throw myself at them, haha. What can I say? Cats are just so darned cute! They usually run away from me, though. Can't say I'm surprised!

Dude, as I was going though the photos I thought, 'wow, man. I really like having cat bro in my photos.' :D If anything s/he makes me look a little less scary/intimidating. Haha. Where was this cat when I was wearing scarier outfits? >_<

Ah that levitating ballerina shot is flawless! Also that cat is the perfect accessory! I love that your outfit is so feminine with the tulle, even though its not your usual thing, combined with the harder accents.

Jumping shots are the bane of my existence. Haha. The only reason why I attempt them is because of instances like the one where I get a really amazing result. Nevertheless, sometimes I have to wonder if jumping up and down like an idiot in front of people is worth it. Haha. Also, it's really hard to get the right facial expression for some reason. It just takes a lot of concentration for me. >_<

At first, I thought your skirt was made up of a denim tulle! Although it is not, I still think it looks great. Anyway, loving the picture with the kitty:) You should consider using him in more of you pictures...such a cutie!

This is the Matrix shot done in OOTD Personal Style Blogger sense!

You really pulled that jumping shot off. Amazing. I do not look elegant like that when I jump! LOL Not at all. You look like a ballerina, I look like a buffoon.

I LOVE the outfit. And the funny t-shirt. And the cat ; )

The skirt is really nice because it is different than most other tulle skirts I've seen.

Dude. I love this outfit! I mean, I usually love everything you pull out but this one is really very truly a favorite of mine. I love the contrast of the quirky t-shirt with the super-girly tulle skirt. And of course you would add a collar. I would be disappointed with anything less. ;)

yay for visiting cats!

love,
