Yes, It's That Gray Top Again!

Click photos for larger view.

I'm so excited today! I just found out that I won my first blog giveaway, over on Bloggery of a Goth Cat. The prize is a pinstripe skirt with a bustle. I've seen photos of her work on her site, and I’m really looking forward to seeing some of it in person!


I'm already getting into outfit post repeats. :) You've seen today's top before from one of my trips with Perseus to the vet specialist. Today I also wore it with pants, but tried to style it differently by dressing it up a bit. Rhinestones and silk scarves really do give things new life!


The necklace is a gift from my husband. Yes, he does love to buy me necklaces and I love him for it! This scarf is one of the Amazon finds I mentioned in a previous post. Today, someone at work called it a "Magic Ninja Scarf." Apparently it had something to do with my ability to ascend a concrete staircase relatively quietly. I'm still a little confused. ;)


Today's hair is just a simple, high bun with a gray hair flower. Buns are really the best I can do on most work days, as I have to be at work at 7:00 and usually I'm still in bed at 6:00!!


What is your favorite "I don't have time to do my hair" hairdo?

Unfortunately for me, having short hair, there is no "I don't have time to do my hair" hair-do that isn't a huge hair don't! You lucky long-hair-ers!

Piper, lol! I guess that's true; long hair seems like a lot of work but at least there are simple solutions like the bun. ;) However, I think your short hair is totally adorable on you!

You really inspire me.I usually just do a messy bun when I am in a hurry for work.Your hubby has a great taste when it comes to pretty jewelery.
You asked on my blog if my nails are acrylic.They are natural,because I am not very good at doing acrylic nails on myself.

Have a great day hun!

Pigtails are my everyday lazy hair style. It's sad to think that if I had more time I would get so much more achieved.

Way to put pressure on me! D: You and I are gonna have to talk about how to make it extra-special for you.

You also said you have nothing in pinstripe. How is this possible?! I'm making a jacket right now, copies of which will be available for sale by next week. :3

Oh, and my lazyhair is usually out or in a bun. Sometimes, little low pigtails.

I've always wanted to include scarves in some outfits, but I have no idea how to do it. I'm actually about to do a blog post on hair-braiding. Braids can be pretty difficult and time-consuming the first couple of times you do them, but once you have enough practice, it takes about five or ten minutes to get a really nice, easy work hairstyle.

VictorianKitty (Sophistique Noir) said...

CookingChinchillas, yes he does! :) And WOW - you have the most amazing natural nails. I am totally envious!!

SaryWalrus, pigtails are an excellent choice!! One of my very favorite looks. I bet you are super-cute in them!

Kitty, lol! Sorry!! No pressure intended; I just have faith. :) I know you can sew 1000 times better than I can, for sure! And YES to pigtails!!

Becky, thank you for the braid post!! I have bookmarked the Dreamweaver Braiding site. I'd love to see pics of your cascading crown!
