Frivolous Universe

Tag "Boise fashion"

Nicole is keeping up the insane work schedule, working at three restaurants with shifts every day. One job pays less, she says, but she likes her co-workers more, so she can’t quit any of them. I stock it up to Nicole’s unflinching loyalty to every job she’s had since she was sixteen. Either way, the task of filling you up with frivolity falls to me.

I’m wearing a vintage wool flannel, textured shell, and skinny jeans.

Also, plaid flat cap, woven wool wrap,

Woven leather belt,

Wood medallion,

And engineer boots with socks.

All bundled.

Aw, I miss my boo. Who will climb trees with me in the spring?

Who will hunt for silk pieces with me?

Who will wear sheer tops with printed bras with me?

Actually, I can think of a few frivolous ladies who might be able available.

Our clothing was purchased at thrift stores for practically nothing. Seriously, we’re so poor.

This dress makes me feel like Meryl Streep in the 1985 film, Out of Africa. Made by Orvis, the fly fishing company, this dress may in fact be from 1985, and was decidedly designed for glamorous outdoor lady types. In it, I feel as if I could conquest a safari and the young Robert Redford in one fell khaki swoop.

Check out my new (old) art deco desk for my new (old) pre-art deco downtown office. $80 at Antique World Mall. Amazing.

I wore this the day (yesterday) a seriously fabulous article in the Boise Weekly came out about Story Story Night (and the me behind it). I also wore this the day (Sept. 26) I told a story about an exhausting wilderness/love odyssey (read it on Cheep) for that storytelling program’s theme EARTH: Stories of Reaping What You Sow.

Those are my two times with this dress so far. It is an outfit for adventure. And the journey is the destination. Wear it out.

Outfit breakdown:

Orvis khaki dress: $7.99 (Re-Style)

Accessories breakdown:

Cheetah leather belt: $1.99 (Re-Style)

Gold framed agate necklace: $14 (Antique store in Hyde Park)

Cindy Says heels: sale $60 (Original MSRP: $120, Piece Unique & Shoez)

Retro designer glasses: $60 (Original MSRP $120 with half off coupon, The Frame Joint)

Black clutch: $12 (Renewal)

See. I wear the spirit of Africa on my waist.

This agate stone looks like a landscape portrait to me, baroquely framed. Adore.

Green with gold undertones? No, not my skin pallor, my shoes.

From our office hallway. So far, No. We have not seen creepy twin girls who say, "Come play with us." Though this building is rumored to have been a bordello. So...appropriate.
