off season shopping

In the previous post I forgot to put the name of the shoe: Pelle Moda Ponder And they're on sale too. Great quality shoe for that price. After the swimsuit review below. More off season shoe reviews.
Anywho, this is the best time to buy a swimsuit so I bought one. This one:



Sooty One Piece by Insight
I would of definitely double featured this swimpiece as a bustier under a blazer this winter as well as a swimsuit in the summer but its runs TOO SMALL. The gold flecks are just as interesting in person, but the bust area is just inadequate. If you have normal boobs, this swimsuit is not. for. you!  The model makes it look like its more than enough space for boobs. Keyword: model. Well, I fell for it and have to return it.  This is a gorgeous swimsuit in person though, with all the girlie sparklies its hurting me that I have to return it but the cups run kind of tiny. Not small but TINY.  Think European sized shoes only in bra sizes.  Also, the website I purchased it from represented it as a numbered size but it came in small/med/large. boo. You win some and lose some and learn a lesson every time, I guess.
Tavik - Belladona
This is one I considered briefly. I think this one is just fun to look at and constructed for those who don't like carbs. Not me. Love looking at it though.

Tavik - Tate
I REALLY liked this one. Its sexy and modest smooshed together.  This one is more my style but I tend to gravitate towards colors, hence me buying the wrong swimsuit. Eventhough  this one is a little more forgiving, I do have concerns about the sizing.

Overall, Ive noticed that Tavik and Insight have some really cute swimsuits on sale right now all over the internet right around NOW.  I can tell both brands seem to target the thinner and taller woman with the way the sizing runs.

 I've been stalking the first three shoes below for a while and then Amazon had a crazy sale on Daniblack shoes. This is a shoe brand I really enjoy stalking. Reasonable prices for the quality and styling.  They have some funky styles that do follow the current trends but are designed in a quirky way that give a different take on the trend and are able to exist outside of the trend.

Sometimes,

you cant ask how, why, or even 'where can I wear these to', you just have to wear them anywhere.

Wore these out and I really felt like Kanye in them. Somebody tried to tell me something......but it sounded like mumbling, OW. These are my newest best friends. I *REALLY* felt like She-Ra in these. Very structural and they kind of remind me of my Salvation Army Endtables with the 90 degree angle cutout wedge  and all.






 Pelle Moda - Ponder
I think I want to marry these wedges.

mismatching matching end tables.

Previously, I blogged about buying a set of end tables at Salvation for $30. and I'm thinking of all this great stuff I'm going to do to the tables. this is a pic of how they looked before. They had some deep scratches and the wood seems to be soft, sturdy but soft enough to scratch with the slightest poke.


After sanding one, I began to apply some paint. I know I wanted the paint to go on like it would in a painting, not totally even. Then I kept painting.







This is what I got. It's olive green mixed in with a firetruck red. See those crevices? I'm still sanding them by hand. I will never sand anything in my life again....I don't think.


So that brings me to my naked table. With this one, Imma just leave it blank, put some clear varnish? polish? on it and leave the corners as is to give it a "seasoned" look. I actually like the end table better naked.  One is going in the bed room and one is staying in the living area.



These chairs are next up in the artsy fartsy line. They came presanded(just how I like my wood, naked!) from a garage sale. I got the set of five for $40 from a married couple with a set of toddlers. She didn't have time to finish them.  Since i've bought them, I've taken the old seat covering off. Next I need to do some research on how to tighten some of the joints. Two of the chairs are a little wobbly. So work in progress.

1 skirt two tops.

I'm not really a blog/document an outfit kinda girl but when the spirit aka shoes hit I'm all for it.  Got these wedges a little over a year ago and have yet to wear them until this outfit. This is a skirt that I found at a thrift store well over a year ago that i was able to pin up and make it fit my short legs without cutting it up.  I don't like cutting pretty clothes to fit my frame, but I will if I have to though.

I was finally able to style this skirt in a way that fits my style:




 

mushroom tunic length top, Urban Outfitters
altered blue jean top, Pay Half
Skirt, Salvation Army
Sandals, Eaglerock - Very Volatile

And here's what I started out with, Salvation Army skirt before

And for my randomosity. I've taken to using tomatoes as bread.  I really just had to leave bread alone. It was/is an addiction. I could tell, because when I was down :(, the thought of slathering bread with my favorite condiments always made me feel better.  Were talkin a loaf a week, folks. So I stopped buying it and this is what my sandwiches look like now:



I miss it, but its worth it.  And by the way this is/WAS a veggie burger.
