The many shades of purple.
Don’t forget, I’m changing my url on Friday. Everything stays here, but you’ll have to re-bookmark me, or type in eccentricowl.wordpress.com, as I can’t afford to buy the automatic redirect package.
I was all set to be boring and comfortable today– well, semi-boring. Jeans, plaid shirt, cowgirl-esque feel– and I had taken some terrible pictures of my outfit when I went over to Sarah’s blog… and was immediately inspired by her outfit. Since she looks so fabulous, I had to make an effort.
Details: Dress($2), cardigan ($4), and belt ($0.99), thrifted; Shoes (unknown) ring($8), and tights($5), Target; Bracelet, gift.
And now the only “I don’t care” about my outfit is the fact that my tights have a run in them. In plain sight. And I’m going to pretend it’s not there.
I think this is my new favorite place to take pictures. Our garage door is a perfect background, and if I get tired of the plainness, I can pose with my brother’s vintage bug. (It’s adorable.)
So I told you about buying a few things at a garage sale, and I keep forgetting to upload the pictures. But I have to get a few things done, so uhm… yes. I will try to do the post later today, yes?
Yes.
(I have so many things I want to write about, but no time to write them! Ah, life.)
I hope you’re all having a lovely Tuesday!

Me too. I’ve decided that purple is one of my favorite colors to wear. And my brother’s bug… I want my bedroom walls to be that color!

Oh, dear . . . I don’t know which I like better, poses with the bicycle or with the bug.

It’s a good thing I can do both, then. 😀

*_* Your brother’s car!!!! Omgosh it’s so gorgeous!!! I wish I had one like that! Vintage-ness to all its glory, love it! 😀
And I also love your outfit, the color is perfect! I’m usually not the one to wear purple, because I think it looks awful with my yellow skin (talk about lack of iron!), BUT I really like seeing it on you, it’s just amazing! The tights, the shoes, the cardigan, every single piece is aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamaaaaaazing!!! (too many ‘a’s? NO, NEVER! :P) I love everything! Come on, it’s so unfair. In the end of the week, I won’t know which one to vote for. But this outfit really fascinates me! hahah! 😀

And btw, purple looks good on you 😀
God, it must be a pain handling compliments when you know you’re pretty, isn’t it? 😉
Mara
Thank you. 🙂 It’s not a pain; I’m very flattered that you’d say so, and it’s sweet of you.
Snigdha
Gee, Thanks 🙂 No problem.
I’m a truthful speaker. Why don’t you read through my blog, you’ll know the extents of my truthfulness!
Hoping to hear from you on my blog soon 🙂 [if that’s not too much to ask!]
