Faux Leather Pencil Skirt & Sweatshirt: Miss Evil Kitty

Miss Evil Kitty…how cool of a name is that? It sounds like Hello Kitty’s archenemy. Although that sounds like a good idea, because c’mon seriously, Hello Kitty is so ridiculous she should have an archenemy, that is not what I’m talking about. It’s actually the name of a cute little online boutique that recently sent me some beautiful hair pins to try out. All three pins were flowers of varying colors, so of course that made me happy. When I put this outfit together the other day, I decided the pink rose bobby pin was perfect to go with it.

Ya know what else is perfect? A sweatshirt with pockets. Not your standard kangaroo pocket in the front; no sir. I’m talking pockets on the sides. For whatever reason I’m a big fan of always having my hands shoved in pockets so this is like my dream sweatshirt. See, you guys thought the “hand in pocket pose” was my go to blogger babe pose. Nope, that’s pretty much how I roll all day long. As per my usual modus operandi, I paired it with my faux leather pencil skirt because most people in their right mind wouldn’t do that. So what’s your take on pockets? Love ’em or hate ’em?

Floral Kimono & Faux Leather Leggings: The Final Countdown

This is it my friends; the last few days until my birthday. And it’s a big one. With a “0” in it. No, it’s not 30. To be perfectly honest with you, 50 scares me a lot less than 40, and 40 wasn’t as terrifying as 30. 30 was terrifying for the simple fact my mother passed away when she was 34 so when I turned 30 all I wanted was to be 35 because I had it in my head that I would die at 34 as well. Obviously that didn’t happen. My fear of 40 was simply based on vanity because man, that sounded old. Now that 50 has arrived I’ve amassed a trove of infinite wisdom and ya know what? It is what is. Like I’ve said many times, I have the taste of a twelve year old girl and the sense of humor of a twelve year old boy so 50 is purely arbitrary. I’m gonna own 50 and I’m gonna kick 50’s ass. So, how do you like me now?

With that being said my damn near 50 year old self is rocking the leather leggings with a floral kimono and a sweatshirt. And I strongly believe I will continue to do so when I’m 70. Can I just tell you how much I love this tunic sweatshirt? I scored it from Townhouse Boutique. They sell their items via Facebook and Instagram on kind of a first come, first served basis. When it popped up in my email I immediately wanted it because it was so me. It’s soft and comfortable, but not at all bulky. I’ll be able to wear it well into the spring and summer on cooler evenings too. The floral kimono has been in my closet since the great kimono binge of Spring 2014. It’s probably the one I wear the most because I love the colors so much. I wanted to add some visual interest to the sweatshirt and leggings and I knew it was just the ticket. I went with the taupe fringe booties because black was just too predictable and if there’s one thing I’m not, it’s predictable.
