Wicked

I don't know if i've mentioned and I didnt even include this in my little bio...BUT...im a huge OZ fan.....Wizard of Oz that is...I have the whole barbie collection which was a disgusting mess to obtain....
Tonight: study physiology and movie later with le Bf....this is what im wearing ..warm and cozy since I'll be freezing my ass off all crunched up in those theatre seats...
The socks totally remind me of the wicked witch...and another little quirky thing about me...I have a CRAZY sock collection.... just recently I bought so-called "normal" white socks...meh, pack of 20 for $10 at Wal-Mart....or else I would not have bought them!
I need to wear my vintage fur more often so I think its going to make another debut tonight....damn Value Villiage and all the wonderful coats they present to me...I am starting to have storage problems :s..they take up so much space!
Faux fur: Vintage
Cardigan: Marciano (gift from my godmother)
Tank: Wilfred
Patent purse: Gap (I got this for $16 on sale- so huge and roomy...fits all my books for school)

I also went thrifting again and picked up this scarf/hat for $2 that I completely head over heels love....its so warm, functional, stylish in a unique way...It should be easy to make for all you savvy DIYers out there (I included the last pic for those of you who can knit and would like to try and make this....its basically a wide scarf, folded in two and then just partially stitched to make a little cap).

Hi Asleigh!
I like your glassed photos. I want to put some of your photos to my Girl Glasses blog artofglasses.blogspot.com

I've sent you an e-mail on the christmas eve and asked for your permission. Besides I've added your blog among my favourite blog links. Would you please add mine?

Love
Digital Collector

Hey girl! Just curious but where do you do your thrifting/vintage shopping? I've been visiting some places downtown but so far nothing.

Great outfit!!!!I love funny socks too!And i love your thrift store pick!

Mickie said...

ooo I love the fur and your new scarf, reminds me that I can wrap my circle scarf that way, which I never do. I hear you about the coat situation, I have half a closet so far dedicated to my coats and half to dresses. I swear my entire wardrobe is made up of shoes, coats, and dresses, my three fav things to shop for! Can't wait for you to bust out some more of yours!!

Glasses Beauty: Well....I see you have already added my pictures...for future reference..I think it would be best to assume no response means no and not the other way around (hope that does not come off rude because I dont mean to be)

Vintage Vinyl: Hmmmm ..funny..bet we've passed by each other on the street..:P

anonymous 10:40: too kind...you just have to keep your eyes peeled and frequent thrift shops often

anonymous 8:50: fo'sho' :P...soon

lovemore: actuyaly no..just the classic Oz..but i might make it a point to watch that now ;)
