Sunday Dreaming
Holy Mother of Jill Stuart
~anyone have $850 bones lying around?~
Happy Easter everyone! I'm currently staring down a See's Candies Chocolate Peanut Butter Egg and suffering with day 4 of migraine central. What better way to count down the moments to Sunday dinner than by gazing away at Shopbop? Here's to finding and winning 9 of their $100 gift certificate giveaways before all the moneybags ladies out there storm the web and shank this glorious frock out from under me. Oh Easter Bunny...you out there?
Stopped In My Tracks
For some reason I'm having a tough time saying 'dead in my tracks' lately. It's the d word I just can't stomach. So instead I'm switching it up to what's above. Same thing, no d and I'm rambling again. Blame it on Jillian Michaels and her 30 Day Shred. I've successfully completed Day 2 having acquired a slight hobble due to burning thighs. No pain no gain suckers. That's what I tell them when they threaten collapse on the living room floor.
Onto a brighter topic. Earlier this week Shopbop sent me yet another dirty email, this time taunting me with Opening Ceremony. Confession: I don't usually get overly amped up over Opening Ceremony so I opened it with ease chuckling under my breath, "Ha ha Shopbop you can't get me this time" when of course I was greeted by these:

Opening Ceremony - Chantal Lace Platform Bootie
How's that for a b*tch slap?
Not moments before I had been scanning the closet thinking about how I needed some 60's type shoes for my Tucker dresses. I tried to calm myself down saying, "Oh Gene Simmons from KISS would have worn a black version of those", but truthfully that only kind of made me want them more. KISS addict here dear readers. No shame in the admittance. But that was only a temporary diversion because as I continued to scroll it got even better:
Opening Ceremony - Chantal T-Strap Platform Pump
Hel-looo! I'm now thinking of both pairs of these shoes pret-ty much all day long. Can you imagine them with Tucker prints galore? Why of course you can, and so can I, hence my daydreams. This pair especially has me. Cork + just feminine enough without going overboard to girlie world. As I'm typing I'm trying to think of things I can sell to get these into my closet. Thanks for that idea, Carey. Anyone? Anyone??
Opening Ceremony-Fringe Long Skirt
And never mind just the shoes. While I was perusing I decided to go for it and hit up all of the Opening Ceremony category only to find this fringe piece of heaven. Try not to stare at the shoes and just stay focused on the skirt. I know, I know it's not easy but you can do it. The skirt is gorgeous. It is a fringe lovers dream. I imagine wearing it with a simple t-shirt on a hot night. You know, at the Chef's new restaurant that he finally got possession of. HOLLAR!! I'll hopefully have some more details to share in the upcoming days, but for now let's just have a moment of silence with the skirt.
Moment.
Onward and upward. We're almost at Friday. I can barely still walk even though I did the Shred and Pilates (silly overachiever), and a few more people jumped onboard the workout wagon. Can someone pay me for working out? Is there a government stipend for keeping fit? I'm losing it...

Channeling the 80's
Last summer when it became apparent that 80's fashion was definitely going to make a full comeback I started to consider how I could incorporate a potentially scary fashion time period (death to the half shirt and all the neon atrocities) back into my wardrobe. Naturally it caused me to skip down memory lane to what my favorites had been then.
Clockwise from upper left: Shopbop - Victorialand Safari Vest, Gap - Denim Biker Jacket, Net-a-Porter - Splendid Jersey Harem Pant, Shopbop - Juicy Couture Camo Slim Cargo Pants
-I remembered the harem pants, t-shirt and safari vest I wore on the first day of 8th grade - and how my dad asked me if I was really going to leave the house looking like that. Har! Thanks Dad!
- Then I suddenly recalled my favorite camouflage cargo pants found at the dreaded Army & Navy store (Canada) my mom insisted we go to "just to take a look". Mom knows best because I remember leaving there with not only the pants, but also a very cool pair of oxfords that got more than their fair share of love that Fall. Those pants were a mad hit and my little brother was mortified to be related to me. :)
-I also remembered the Michael Jackson craze we were in then. How he took biker and military jackets to a whole new level - and how I wore my grey leather biker jacket until it was worn thin.
Ahhhhh - the good old days; funny how they can come back around. When I looked in my closet today I realized that each of those pieces is there once again in varying forms, and can honestly say I love wearing them just as much now as I did then. Only with a much higher and more expensive heel.
What are your former favorites? Are you finding ways to incorporate them into your wardrobe...or have you left them all in the past?
