catty.

L here, I've got a bunch of lovely pictures to show you. Hope you like what I picked out!

Red Skinnies - H&M, Eagle Tee - H&M
Finally I have colored skinny pants! Originally I had wanted blue but #1 they didn't have my size and #2 red actually didn't look as silly as I had expected. And who could not want a patriotic eagle hurtling out of their chest?
Gray Turtleneck - H&M, Jeans - H&M
I had purposely bought the turtleneck so I could back later and get their sweet little jumper but the jumper can wait. Right now I'll probably just use it to layer under my summer dresses. A tried and true tactic for adding to your fall wardrobe. And the jeans are looser than I usually buy, not quite wide leg but I do know that they are very comfy.
Cougar Tee - Urban Outfitters
C and I both got these crazy shirts at the Boston UO. (Hers is the pegasus) I don't know exactly if this is supposed to be anything more than a trippy mountain lion in the center of a pentagram and the galaxy but it is just very interesting to look at.

Shirt - GAP
The story here is I got this shirt a ree-eally long time ago at Goodwill and it was sort of blah. Then I sewed button around the collar after seeing a similar albeit better executed version on The Clothes Horse. I added the heart button on the sleeve so i could be all clever and Blair-ish. (Gossip Girl is back! I'm so excited.) Now I just need someone cute to ask me about it. (Perhaps Casey Affleck or Clark Kent?)



One can dream.



The sailor sweater thing was 25 cents at a church thrift shop in either Dennis or Chatham. I'm not quite sure how to wear this yet but I'm sure the opportunity will present itself. The sweater on the right is a lovely cashmere cardi that I got for $10 at a church shop in Chatham.
The shirt on the left is a nifty striped button down from J. Crew via Goodwill and the cardi is from the amazing Dollar-A-Pound pile in Boston. I also found a white button down and a GAP corduroy skirt and a kind of ugly dress that I plan to make into a less ugly skirt. Fingers crossed.
I picked up some new sunnies at the Cape. Taking a break from the Wayfarer fixation. The bible for everyone but under seventeen, Seventeen, once told me that aviators would fit my face best. I can tell you I look horrid in aviators but this weird aviator/bug eye fusion seems to work. I also got a school necktie thing that I cannot wait to wear about. 

Last but not least I made a feather headband!

Dasvidanya, (I'll try to sign my posts so that you'll always know who's who)

P.S. You should definitely check out the Catorialist. I think you can guess what it's a spoof on. Not quite on par with LOL cats but definitely good for the seriously catty and those looking for a chuckle.

Great, great items. I really like the tees and well everything! Thanks for the shout-out. I used to be so addicted to buttons (years ago) I made jewelry from them!

Awesome! I love the buttons around the collar of the t-shirt & the feather headband is amazing!

Cait said...

wow great items. I'm pretty sure I bought that exact same turtleneck from H&M in gray too. The feathered headband totally looks like this one I keep eyeing at urban outfitters! Thanks for the comments on my blog I really like yours :]
