watch the skies







The other day I read about "t-shirt surgery"; and I thought: "I've got to try that." So here's me trying it. The tee in question is a band tee: Watch the Skies. They're pretty awesome. You can check them out here. It was originally a toobighugesleeved-can'twearthisout-butIwouldliketobecauseit'scool-tee. I made it fit. I also made it even cooler (in my not so humble opinion).

The blazer I am wearing was my GREAT grandmother's. So it is honest to goodness certifiable vintage. I love it because the fit is awesome; and it is just so darn ladylike! This, btw, was the blazer I was wearing when I met Jeff Martin from Tea Party. Which is actually a good story and involves me cutting in line in front of about 300 people. But I don't feel like telling it right now.

Right now I'm making chili. I've never made chili before (wonder of wonders); but I think it's going to turn out pretty stupendous (again, my not so humble opinion). Also I wanted to point out that this outfit is pretty much "how" I like to dress: ladylike with some edge. I really like to combine styles. I don't want to be all vintage. I don't want to be all "rock and roll". I don't want to be all dressy, or all casual, or all feminine, or all anything, really. I feel most comfortable when I mix styles/dressiness levels/colours/patterns/whatever. I don't know why.

Maybe it's like painting. When I paint I always do what is called "mixed media". Which basically means I use every kind of paint/pencil/oil pastel/etcetera in my art box.

outfit details:

blazer: was my great grandmother's
t-shirt: band t (I may actually never have gotten around to paying for this, um...)
leggings: (actually they are long underwear--really!)
shoes, thrifted: $3
necklace: a gift
skirt: from a clothes swap

I just realized this is a REALLY almost freeish outfit. NICE.

Heart: Kimberellie

ps. the waving pic isn't posed. That is actually what I look like waving. My husband just likes to click click click take pictures. I'm waving to some friends here. Some friends who STILL owe us cheese. Where's our cheese Sterkenburgs? Where's our cheese?

ps.ps. oh, and forgive me for the ridiculous amount of pictures. Usually not this many turn out (well)! So I just couldn't choose! Also, my husband took these and I thought he'd like to see them all. Whenever I ask him what he likes about my blog post he always says: "The pictures." And when I ask why, he says: "Because they're of Kimberellie." I know, awwww. ;-)

  8. I would probably ruin a shirt in t-shirt surgery. It's quite unfortunate.
    It's cute how in love with you your husband is. So sweet and very important.
