What I Wore: 7.20.10

I am calling this post ‘Laser Lace’ because my new Forever 21 dress has a winding, connected lace-esque pattern. It also has a strange burnt smell that makes me imagine that it was wound and connected by some big, futuristic machine with lasers that steadily pieced each section into place!

See that pattern? It’s sort of lacy, sort of spiderweb-ish. Either way, I love it. This outfit is like my perfect summer combo: feminine, avant garde and…black. Haha.

I’m not much of a sandals person. Even in the summer I tend to pair airy, above-the-knee cotton dresses with chunky platform wedge ankle boots. So, when I do decide to get sandals, they have to be really special. I’ve been wanting these Chloes for so long — I think I even linked to them in a post here on the blog over a year ago. Thanks to yoox, I found these super on sale and my shoe dreams came true. Granted, they’re fairly high and narrow but they don’t seem to bind or pinch. And, I mostly sit at a desk anyway so I am not too concerned about being able to walk a mile in them. I haven’t had such great luck with other Chloe shoes but the incline on these feels just right.

Rocky was so well-behaved during last night’s photo session! Normally he whimpers, tugs and pulls but this time, he just stood perfectly still. He cracks me up. I love it when I get home from work and he’s waiting at the door for me with his hair parted down the middle and all brushed out!

P.S. All photos by Joey.

P.P.S. Sorry for the blog slowdown. My weeks seem to keep getting busier and busier.

    Fantastic dress! I also love the combination of the deep red bow headband with your dark hair (which is getting so long!). Love it!

    P.S. Do you ever do your hair in braids?

    GASP!!! i totally died and slipped off the face of this blogging earth, but… that dog!! too cute too cute! i want one so bad!!! i moved to the west village and have about 3 pet stores near where i stay, and each time i go past them i have to move to a jogging-ish pace so their faces are a blur. if i see them clearly i think i would totally buy one. which i can’t really afford time and money for now. *sob*

    I don’t usually comment but you look absolutely stunning and I had to say something. I love this outfit and I am glad to see you smiling and it sounds like work is going well for you which is really great to hear as well. Keep up all the great work with the blog, I enjoy reading about what you do. Have an awesome day!

    Super cute as always. Love, LOVE this dress! Is this a new F21 dress? I skimmed the site and didnt see…I think I must have this dress =)

    Medusa: I never do anything with my hair. Ever. I used to try but it literally falls flat, Immediately. Sometimes I leave it to the pros but even then, they try to style it and…it falls flat. So I just roll with it! I haven’t had any braids since I was about 7.

    Gilda: You would so love Rocky! I’ve never had a pet before and now, he’s totally won me over. He’s super easy to take care of and, well, the cutest.

    Alicia – Sea of Ghosts: It’s my standard formula: Drop less than $50 on the outfit and then pour my life savings into the shoes and handbag. ;)

    Maja Piraja: He’s always Mr. Popular. All the neighbors greet him by name…even the people at the bar we walk by stop him to say hi. It’s pretty funny.

    Alice: He puts us all to shame. If I had that volume and softness, I’d be as popular as him. A girl can dream….

    Gala: Thanks, wifey. Can’t wait for our southern CA rendezvous!

    Sally: Every once in awhile, those yoox gods really come through. I find things popping up on their site that I was desperately lusting after 2 years ago that were totally out of reach at the time.

    Robin Jean: Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind sentiments!

    Aunt Mabel : You are too kind! I’ll have to stop by the farm sometime when I’m out near you…it seems like I only make it out to the ‘burbs like once a month now (and usually that’s to do laundry).

    Amanda: I tried doing a quick search of the site before I put this post live and I couldn’t find it either! I just got it on Saturday and there were quite a few bohemian / lace / black / crocheted items in the same area.
