Commencement du monde!

I am going to try to keep up a regular blog type thing here.  And it will be about fashion and beauty, and probably other stuff, but we'll start out with fashion and see where it goes.

I realized this afternoon how much love I have for playing dress up.  I think it was always my favorite game as a little one, and I don't think I ever grew out of it.

As I was dancing around listening to Cyndi Lauper's new album "Brink Ya to the Brink" (totally awesome super silly mainstream gay trance anthems!) I thought, hey let's get dressed up!

I just finished my finals for the quarter, and I want an ice cream sundae to celebrate.  I think an ice cream sundae is a great reason to play dress up.

Cyndi Lauper has always been one of my style icons, and I keep a badass pic of her from her 80s era look near my mirror where I get dressed.  I recently checked to see what she has been doing since, well, 1988, and omg she is so fucking precious!  Still gorgeous, still talented, still a champion for equal rights, and still stylish as hell.  Can you believe shes 56?!  I hope I am still that awesome in 30 years.  

So Cyndi and ice cream hunger inspried, I decided to make myself and outfit!  I've been coveting and collecting some sort of victoria inspired lacy tops and vintage womens dress shirts with built in scarves/ties/collary things. They are super interesting but take some thinking to actually work them into an outfit.  But today I determined that I would pick one thing in my closet that I love, and just find a way to make it work, damnit.  

Today's piece was my Betsey Johnson pink waitress dress that I love to pieces, but have worn maybe five times in the last ten years.  I am a big fan of pants under skirts and dresses, so I picked up some wide leg pin stripe cropped pants from Express to wear underneath, and a lacy off white girly vintage looking dress shirt with tuxedo ruffles to wear over top.  I picked my big black frames, some silver and black stripey hoops, and a long long strand of cheap white pearls.  I think the knotted pearls sort of look like a stylized necktie, which inspired the rest of the outfit.

Right now I only have my crappy camera phone on hand to take outfit pics via my mirror, so you'll have to bear with me.  I promise photos later will be much better!  You can always sooth yourself with this adorable pic of Cyndi with balloons and birthday cake!  SO ADORABLE!!

Anyhoo, here's what I could scrunge from my phone, let's see how they turned out.

Not great, but you can get the main idea!
