"You like me, you really really like me."

Ever see that Sally Field speech in the 70s where she won an Oscar for some movie I don't even know the name of? Well, she says that line and it's been a pretty popular saying since.

On that note, I want to thank you guys for your sweet comments.  Seriously, as a new blogger, I'm entranced by this wonderful, virtual world.  It's not like facebook where you network through friends of friends, or people you work with.  It's the webbing of millions of people, just like you and me, connected through small screens, informational & entertaining writing (real writing- not just status updates and notes), photographs and millions of other bits of information that float above our heads.

I love that I can gain inspiration from fashionistas across the world and people like you.  Ah, Internet, I really really do love you. 

Here's another outfit post taken from Saturday night. My sister photographed me before my Aunt Shirley's 50th birthday party. It was Luau night, and we were to dress accordingly, but it seriously was too cold for a skimpy Hawaiian outfit.  What's up with the CA weather, Angelenos?!

Well, when I got there tons of ladies (even older ones) where wearing skimpy Hawaiian outfits. For shame.  I should've participated. Sheesh, I guess I'm a bit of a pussy.

Why so serious? I think it's time for a bigger bookshelf.


My self-defense weapons.

My Cognacs.
*Button-up (oversize, but not for me) dress shirt from BP Apparel-Nordstroms, belt from Old Navy, skirt from discount store at the ghetto mall. Love that store. I think it's called Mode Plus.  Boots by Steve Madden.
 

These badass boots have done me some good.  I think I got them in 2007-2008 from Nordstoms, but they're made by Steve Madden.  The quality isn't that great and should have been better for such a staple shoe. They were $200!  Eh, they were pretty much worth it.  I wore them almost every weekend for years and probably have spent one too many a drunken/dancing night with them.  They've even got holes in the front. :/ It's definitely time for a new pair.

Crap, I forgot to accessorize with a purse again.  Oh well, Ce la Vie.

Hope you all had a great weekend! 

p.s. Pics from the Luau to come.  My sister got some great shots!
