float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

After being out of the blogging ring for a couple of months, I've been bouncing with eagerness to get back into the game. What better way to do so than with my Irregular Choice wrestling boots—and red sequined ones at that! Muchos thanks to Lauren for tipping me off to them during summer sale season. At first I had my reservations, not so much in regards to liking them (how can one not?! They're a total knockout!), but in regards to how I'd style them. Sure, it's a no-brainer to pair them with cutoff jeans and a tissue thin T-shirt. One of the last things I want, though, is for my capabilities to be limited to wearing "ridiculous" pieces in bland contexts. Down for the count I nearly was, lacking in ideas! After some emergency conferring with friends—like a water break and pep talk in the corner of the ring—I was ready to take those bad boots on and go straight for the takedown. So, I had them shipped up from the NYC store pronto, and I've been winning my matches ever since.

just a little bit longer

Salutations!

I may sound cheery in greeting, but in truth I'm grumpy and disappointed. It looks like it'll be a tad while longer until I get to post again. I've been without Internet at home for the past week, and until my landlord gets an electrician to replace the faulty cable, I'll be stuck snatching glimpses of fashion week happenings from wherever I can—namely, while on break at work. After taking a month off to handle frustratingly time-consuming personal stuff, I was really looking forward to getting back to blogging. Looks like I'll just have keep on looking forward to it.

Sincerely,
A rather infuriated and disgruntled dreamecho
