Passionate Fashion - Rebel Mixin' My Metal

I hate that it is getting dark earlier but it is forcing me to be more creative with my photos. I have a feeling that there will be days when I will just be lazy but the lighting was too much to miss today.

So here you go, this is what I wore today (in lots of pictures!) These pictures are all straight out of the camera taken by me.

This isn't what my outfit started out as this morning. It's better. I wasn't sure where I was headed when I opened my closet this morning. I had some things in mind, but I never decide what to wear the night before as I always change my mind anyways.

Khakis and a nice shirt turned into khakis and some sparkle on my shirt. Then while trying to find a jacket I realized that the sparkly shirt that I had on was too flowy and it wrecked the line of the jacket that I had picked. A shirt change for a slimmer line and I was ready to go out the door in an outfit that I was happier with than what I was thinking I would find on "one of those days" where nothing was jumping out at me.

I'm blurry but the color and the rest of the picture were too pretty too miss.



I would have taken more of the pictures like above but I could hear my neighbor (the owner of the red barn on the other side of those trees) wandering around and I felt a bit silly with my camera timer beep beeping and my flash flashing.



Sis? Do you want to go buy this book now because I am holding it in my pictures?

My sister and I were discussing a shoot with Robert Pattinson in which he was holding a book about sex. My sister took it upon herself to look up the book to find out more about it. She found it listed with a $90 price tag. Was the book worth the price tag, or was it just because it was in the shoot with "ROBERT PATTINSON"?

How do I get into styling?

Passionate Fashion - Stripes in the Gap

Glamorous this outfit is not. Glamour definitely was not what was going for. All I could think of was to be comfortable and to make it through. Through what you ask? Aches, chills, fever, nausea... everything flu. Whatever this is, it just won't let go! I had to go to work but I only made it until lunch before I had to go home. I then missed the next two days and was out of it for the weekend too! Ugh! It's A week from when I first got sick and I am still not feeling well. If this is the swine flu you can keep it!




Good thing I found the Gap and Old Navy outlets the day before I got sick. I think my husband would say that I got sick from shopping.

Money who needs it??!

I am a bad person. I am a bad bad materialistic person! I NEED things sometimes. I feel like they are calling to me! (I also can't go to adopt this dog places! They look so sad and they CALL to me! We would have 20 dogs. Sorry honey. Not that you are reading this anyway.)

I need these boots! They are perfect! PERFECT! Except for that DAMN price tag!

I feel sick that I can't have these. Is that a bad sign? Oh wait, I already admitted to being a sad materialistic person... so can't go no lower.



I NEED these boots!

Passionate Fashion - Frumpier than I thought

I hate it when you leave the house thinking that you are looking like a million bucks and then you take your pictures and realize that a simple tweak might have at least brought you up to a ten buck look.

I was super excited when I thrifted this lined tweed skirt in the super fun blue and lime green colors. I have been holding onto this skirt since the 90 degree weather this summer. This weather has been great for the debut of this skirt!

I was disturbed to realize that this skirt needed a bit of tailoring to make it the awesome item I thought it to be. I was more than disturbed when I realized this fact after a full day of work.



A little tailoring could make this skirt fit more like it should have! A more tailored fit would have been much more sleek.

Passionate Fashion - Black to the Vest

I am seeing a trend. Mensweary vests as a uniform for this blogger. I layered one of my much used black tshirts under a khaki and white striped vest to make this all black outfit NOT all black.



Also a recent repeat, my silver mutli chain necklace! It makes me feel slightly rocker chic at all times!





These shoes don't hurt to feel rocker chic!

Dry Clean and a $200+ price tag mean no way for me but boy am I a sucker for this print on anything!

Passionate Fashion - Mensweary day

I am still sick but I am well enough to go to work so I am well enough to post!

Here is a case of a black and white outfit with a little sparkle. The shirt has a sequin sparkle not that you can tell from these pictures. The sparkle of the shirt, the menswear vest, the rocker necklace and leather jacket, with businesswear pants and black boots.

That makes a good outfit for me. I love the freedom of a business casual situation. Granted I would have just thrown a blazer jacket over this to create a suit.. SHHHH!!! Don't tell cause I don't have to wear those anymore... well not daily at least!
