The Revolutionary Costume for Today!

So I got bored and I have also been watching too much Grey Gardens. That's why I decided to wear my pencil skirt as a dress. With lacey tights. And crazy Donna Karen F/w rtw 08 hair. People stared, I wore it to class, the mall, and luncheon with Billy. I think everyone thinks I am insane....

Cape: Work! It's reversible!

I have been knitting away at my bonnets lately, and I am selling three at work! I am however, concerned that no one who isn't me would wear these pieces. I took pictures of two of them before bringing them in! If anyone is interested in a custom-knit bonnet, you can e-mail me at pinkmarshmallowgirl@gmail.com and we'll talk!

Silly School Girl

It is still peculiarly warm here, although, I guess the notion of fall and school just commands cool weather psychologically, but usually we're wrong about weather...Yesterday I sweated it out in this getup. I was inspired by bows and girly-ness as usual. The shoes are the best part, they are perfect triple-strap, with a chunky heel and square toe, so they are super comfortable. I bought them at work! Today I went to the beach and wasn't very fashionable, but I will be tomorrow for the hurricane!

I just LOVE this yellow shade!

Summer Is Quickly Escaping Me...

I feel very irregular with posting lately! I have been busy reading the vampire books, soaking up the fragments of summer at the beach, working, and spending time with Lila and Billy (separately,of course!). I am gearing up for a long-awaited visit from Betsy with Baby O, which I am very excited about! Baby O and I have lots of singing, walks, and cuddling to catch up on! Next week, I start school, which I am excited about, its my last semester!!!! I will hopefully stay on top of this project, and since I like to dress up everyday for school, it shouldn't be that hard. I am bummed that its starting to get darker earlier, and that the temperature is dropping. I don't mind fall though, its the freezing winters I hate, and all that damn snow! Today I scored a blue Gucci wallet at work for dirt cheap. It's not brand-new, but I like my things a touch worn anyways, it adds character! Yesterday Billy and I ate awful Chinese food for dinner, and then we rented Polanski's Chinatown from the library, which is one of my favorites. I am always inspired by Faye Dunaway's precision makeup, her delicate curls, and her array of unique hats!


I especially love that hat!



My Plaid Summer Saver...
I am digging plaid over white, and lace-up oxfords to go with everything! I found these guys at Savers, and I really love the pointed toes...

Fall At The Shore...

I have spent the last two days as a beach bum with Lila. Yesterday, we had a photoshoot showcasing some fall beach cover-ups. That may seem like somewhat of an oxymoron, but here we often experience blissful Indian summers. I have good luck for at least fifty years now, because a seagull shit on my head. Luckily, I was wearing a scarf, or it would have gotten in my hair like in Now And Then. I always wear scarves at the beach. I love huge, thick chunky sweaters for anytime, preferably ones that are so long and big they can moonlight as a dress. The one I'm wearing in these photos was a specially-requested, custom-knit one by Momma for Lila during her late 80's high school days. I have to be extra careful with that one! It's like she's giving me a big hug, though! Maybe I'll teach myself to knit huge sweaters like this one this fall...

Turning 30!!!

This is the 30th post!! Go pink marshmallow girl!!! That is one thing to be glad about...also, from work the other day, I scored the delicate cream Givenchy bag for like 29 dollars! Other than that, things have been dismal. No one has been in a good mood and Billy has a cold. I really would like it to be fall so I can wear tights! The other day it rained, so I wore some to work! I am so grateful I can go to work and be around clothes for a few hours. These past few days, I have been getting migraines at work which is not cool, because I want to be enjoying myself, being productive, and learning as much as possible. I swear though, my head is like a barometer, and any change in the weather/pressure can send me reeling... today I have off and am dressed down in my leotard! I'll take some photos later. I am reading, eating ice cream, knitting, chilling with my mom, etc. I am trying not to buy any summer-y things lately, I'm totally fall-forward. Looking at the Harper's Bazaar Runway report and cutting out pics for my inspiration board is also on my list today.

Are you anxious for cooler weather clothes or loving your breezy summer looks?

Here I am, ready for Fall!
