It's not everyday I put on an outfit and think to myself
"Gee...I look a lot like one of the founding fathers of our nation today!"
Lulz.

brown skirt: Newport News
cream-colored lace top: gifted from mom
velvet blue swing jacket: Wal-Mart
brown and cream shoes: Payless
unseen cream tank: New York & Co
navy blue patterned trouser socks: Wal-Mart (new!!)

up top!
belt
earrings (gifted from mom)
trouser socks!!!
they go up to my knee!
i totally adore them.
i have a feeling they're going to be a "thing"
for me this season.
I bought a couple of other pairs as well this weekend
at Wal-Mart!

I guess if I was a little bald on top...
I'd really look like Ben Frankin!
Excuse me while I go discover electricity...
or that lightning and electricity are the same...
or something clever....
Or that I'm a moron...

Those trouser socks are awesome! I might need to go pick some up. I never would have paired it, but in the close-ups, they really look cute with those shoes.

There is a certain history about you, that's true. But I bet your shoes are cuter than theirs were.
Thanks for sharing your unicorn organization tip - that really made me laugh!

Ben Franklin wishes he looked so good!

Seriously, though, I like that you are willing to try a vintage-inspired or romantic look and pull it off very successfully.

Your spectator shoes are gorgeous!

Unique and inspiring.. You pull it off when most wouldn't even try!
