Geeks Do Not Have Pedigrees

I have no clue what we were looking at here.

The weather outside today was perfect for playing fetch with Chewey, even though he isn't very good at that game. He tends to look in the wrong place for the stick, then get distracted and run back to me like he's expecting me to throw something else for him. Silly dog. He should stick to what he's good at, like dancing and doing flips. Maybe fetch is just too basic for him.

Thrifted cardigan and shorts. Rue 21 hairbow, shirt, and tights. Wal-mart boots.

 

The Owls Are Not What They Seem

This is what I wore on my birthday, which I celebrated by getting an anchovy pizza at Rafael's. (Rafael's is this amazing pizza joint that has BUY ONE GET ONE FREE PIZZAS. So even though Addison is one of those weird people who thinks anchovies are gross, he still got to get in on some pizza action with me.) 

This dress is one of my favorite thrift finds ever. It's really comfy and soft and a bit witchy. I'm crazy about it.

Rue 21 jacket. Thrifted dress. Vintage necklace. Wal-mart boots.

Oh, and I got a tattoo for my birthday, too.

It's the symbol from the Owl Cave on Twin Peaks. It was done by Rick at Body Art Ink in Dalton, GA. He did two of the other tattoos I have, as well. He's the sweetest guy in the world, and he does good work.

Patterns

Here I am wearing stripes, florals, and polka dots and thoroughly enjoying myself. This outfit was so comfortable, too!

Thrifted shirt and skirt. Vintage necklace. Found belt. Wal-mart boots.

 

And here's another picture in which Chewey decided to obstruct the view of my boots. Silly Chewey, always having to be the center of attention. Like you don't get enough attention already! Spoiled brat.

Bittersweet Me

I was thinking of Asian gore films when I put this outfit together. I wanted to look like a schoolgirl who is also a killing machine. I'm not sure if I pulled it off, but it was still fun to try.

Glitter shirt and schoolgirl skirt from bag sale at The Ark. Skull tights and sunglasses from Rue 21. Boots from Wal-Mart.

Battle Royale

The Machine Girl

In other news, R.E.M. broke up. R.E.M. has been my favorite band for over ten years, and I was hoping I would get to see them live at least once more (they were the first band I ever saw in concert, back in 1999). It doesn't appear I will get my wish. I would be lying if I said I wasn't heartbroken by this (I might have shed a few tears), but at least I can still listen to their music.

Reality Bites

Long time no post! I'm finally (almost) settled in to my new place. Addison and I live with his parents and brothers now. The house is a little crowded, but that's all right -- it's pretty cozy too. And check out all these trees!

One of the best things that's happened to me since moving here is finding this thrift store called The Ark. For the entire month of September, this store is having a bag sale, where you get to pay five dollars and cram a paper grocery bag as full of clothes as possible. I went last week and got this dress and a few other items. Since I managed to fit ten different articles of clothing in my bag, it's like I only paid fifty cents for each piece! Best Shopper Award goes to me.

In the past week, three different strangers (all of whom happened to be senior citizens) have told me I look like "Abby from NCIS."

I'm just glad she's warmed the seniors' hearts to girls who like to wear black.

And here's one more picture of Chewey because he's a camwhore. (Did you see him posing in that outfit picture with me?)
