Look what the cat dragged in. Little ol' me wearing the same skirt I wore yesterday. Sometimes I love a Delightful Dozen item so much that I just have to wear it twice before I send it along! I think I like yesterday's outfit better, but only by a little. I'm liking this chunky heel fad that's been going on this year. I used to hate them, but being chunky makes heels seem less formal, which I'm all about. The stiletto is too sexy and done up for every day wear– at least for a casual girl like myself. Granted, if I actually had any reason at all to look sexy, I'd definitely drag out my stilettos but alas– my most romantic encounters only occur in my dreams with fictional TV characters (more on that in a bit).
Perhaps what feels off about this outfit is that my hair is up. To be honest, the reason I had my hair up was... it was disgusting. I very rarely put my hair up. My face looks strange to me without my hair surrounding it. Maybe I should try to wear it up more. Keiko wears her hair up all the the time and she always makes me want to try wearing mine up. I wish I could do my hair like Joan Holloway from Mad Men. Every screen shot of her is just flawless. Those perfectly sculpted curls are just so incredibly vintage. I wish I had the energy in the morning to do my hair like they did in the 40's and 50's.

I've been having some funny dreams lately. Dreams that tell me my life is lived through television and internet, rather than actual living. I've had a couple dreams that have had other bloggers in them (that makes me so creepy, huh? Haha!), and then I had another dream with a character from a show I've been devouring via whole seasons on DVD. I'm such a goon. There is a time for all things, and for the time being I'm living life more in my mind than in the real world.
Speaking of the real world, I'd better get to figuring out how to get to work from this new homestead! I have a feeling my route will be equidistant, so unfortunately I don't get to wake up any later. Drat. You all should know how much I love me some sleep... Goodbye weekend, hello sleep deprivation!
I thought I'd better post the winner of the Chictopia Chic Point giveaway before the week got crazy busy! The winner of the 5,000 chic points is:
She was chosen by random.org to be the recipient of 5,000 chic points which can be used to redeem chic rewards. Congrats!

i like, but i like it on you! i don't think i could pull off this kind of style on me. cheers!
I love how you styled the skirt differently theses last two days...the outfits have such different vibes...very cool!
Love this outfit! Plaid & denim work so well together. Good idea on getting as much use out of the DD items - you're only going to get them once. & it's wonderful to see them styled in so many different ways!
your hair looks cute up!
i also wish i could wake up having joan hair!!!!
I love your hair, functional yet fashionable!
my dreams often have celebs in them lol lame
I've been having strange dreams as well and it's making me dread going to sleep. I don't like dreaming about things that bother me in real life! :D
I love your hair up like this. You look great.
Great outfit! The flannel is so cute, and i love how you did your hair! I just wish mine was long enough to do that too! :-) Panda xx
I like your hair up too! But I know how you feel... I'm normally a hair drowning my face kinda gal, and whenever I pull it back, I feel odd.

i feel the exact same way about my hair, but i have to say--when i saw the first photo of you with your hair up i immediately thought it looked awesome! maybe in part because it was surprising. i think sometimes we just get too accustomed to our faces in a certain form, and when we change it up we feel we look like strangers! that's why i'm afraid to get a haircut...
you look cute in a bun!
Cute remix with the skirt! Think I liked yesterdays more but like you said, only a little!

Yay flannel! I have been wearing my hair like that nonstop because it is so gross here.
I had a dream once that all the people on Chictopia were zombies, so I don't think you are the only one with strange dreams :P
such an cute and interesting post! love the outfit and your hair looks amazing like that!
Your outfits are so fun (: I'm interested to see how it goes living on the road!
I think you look beautiful with your hair up! This outfit is cute.
Oh my. I had a dream with a few bloggers in it the other night too. It was quite alarming... I was like 'I think I need life!' Ah well.

ha! i've totally had dreams about bloggers, too! thanks for making me feel not so crazy. :)
i know what you mean about having your hair up! i find it a wierd feeling too!
i love how you tucked in the plaid...don't think I could pull that off but it looks original and shapely on you
a comfortable, casual girl is way more sexy than a girl in spiky heels, no matter how confidently she wears them. although, i've found my taste in women to differ pretty greatly from that of the men i know. but maybe thats because they've been bombarded with media telling them what to like about women. people always forget than men are affected by misogyny and patriarchy just as much, if not more these days. eventually i'm going to start a blog to talk about these things. eventually...
i like your hair up! it draws more attention to your face. but, it looks gorgeous both ways.
very pretty try at that hairstyle. I actually think I am going to try to work on a hair tutorial for that style. If I do it successfully I'll try to send you a link so you can attempt it too. I have an idea of how to do it!
That hair!
naomi.
This skirt was made to go with a flannel shirt, fo realz. I love the two different looks you put together with this piece and I wish I had that skirt myself!
In other news, I wish I was even remotely close to your size because your Tacky Shop has some adorable stuff in it! Maybe if you skim down your accessories I can help your roadtrip fund by purchasing a scarf or hat? Good luck with everything!
lovely outfit!
You have such a cute, quirky blog.

I must know what show/character you dreamed about! I had a dream about Spock the other night, so... you're not the only weirdo.
I really love your hair up; it's a cute change. <3
You always have great outfits but I have to say you have gorgeous hair! I don't even know how to describe it haha but it suits you so well. :)

Ah I love your hair, I have curly hair too but way tighter curls than yours and it feels impossible to manage sometimes haha. Your outfits are fun as always! :)
I wear my hair up so much that I feel like I look strange when I wear it down. I think it's really just about what we're used to.
And don't worry about your "creepy" dreams. My "relationship" with Special Agent Dale Cooper of Twin Peaks was one of the most scintillating I've ever had. Ha!
Love how you did your hair!
I love this! It's something I would actually wear. And I think you look great with your hair up. The headband is a nice touch.
I tend to get embarrassingly caught up in TV shoes on DVD, too. I just finished 4 seasons of Bones in record time and had a dream about David Boreanaz last week. I'm such a loser.
I have never won any of these blog giveaway things so I am completely stoke about winning one! And from Chictopia, no less. Thanks so much! :D
And I so want to copy this look. From head to foot.
