oh dang! that is a very nice cape!
― La Lechera, Saturday, 7 January 2012 17:51 (twelve years ago) link
Capes! I luuurve them. I even have one. Used to have 3, but the two vintage ones were ginormous on me because of the whole short-and-no-shoulders thing, so I gave them away. I should have given them to you, emil.y!

I actually have two capes already, but neither of them brown so I don't wear them, really. One is my mum's old school cape (a school cape! Blimey!) which is huge and green, the other is a grey one with red inner lining thing and a nice black gothic button-up at the collar.

As modelled in this photo (incidentally one of my favourite photos of me - and there aren't many of those):

Although I will admit you probably shouldn't wear it with the collar popped like that.

that picture is totally amazing and i love itI LOVE IT
― La Lechera, Saturday, 7 January 2012 18:43 (twelve years ago) link
The cape (and you!) is gorgeous and the popped collar is OTM.
― quincie, Saturday, 7 January 2012 18:44 (twelve years ago) link
The cape looks rad with the collar like that.

Wow that cape! xoxo I love your new tie, as well. I love women wearing ties.
Sales that are a slap in the face.
Also: Save $20!!!!! (on sales over $150) or other such small savings on large expenditures. Bah.

Love the dress, the bow, the eyebrows, everything basically.
― ☆★☆彡彡 (ENBB), Sunday, 8 January 2012 02:15 (twelve years ago) link
oh and I had this dress custom made on Etsy... for like $90.
The only thing I must have measured incorrectly was the neck, as its a little wide.
― homosexual II, Sunday, 8 January 2012 02:17 (twelve years ago) link
You look amazing! As always.

From that Germany company you liked on fb? Those were awesome. I want one! I have always favored big bulky men's watches and loved those.

― cozen, Monday, 9 January 2012 19:11 (twelve years ago) link
Okay I just ordered big, square, mannish glasses: that's another new style for me in 2012.

Now that I've googled Harray Carey, oh dear me, no.

those are nice!
― La Lechera, Monday, 9 January 2012 19:26 (twelve years ago) link
ty! I am very excited, I've never had square-ish frames before, and they're so BIG! After a decade of wearing, like, retro kitten glasses (sort of), I don't know what to do with all that lens real estate.
― It means why you gotta be a montague? (Laurel), Monday, 9 January 2012 19:32 (twelve years ago) link
look through it at the world :)
― La Lechera, Monday, 9 January 2012 19:34 (twelve years ago) link
I suppose I'll have to! Could take up to two weeks to come in, though. :( :( :(
― It means why you gotta be a montague? (Laurel), Monday, 9 January 2012 19:37 (twelve years ago) link
ha that's how i felt about my latest pair of frames - i haven't had lenses this big since i was a teenager! it's so weird being able to see so much!
i got these as well, but they're way too big for my face :(
― just1n3, Monday, 9 January 2012 19:41 (twelve years ago) link
but yeah, i'm gonna be more daring with frames this year, as long as i don't have to make a huge investment in them (the cat eye frames set me back $17)
― just1n3, Monday, 9 January 2012 19:42 (twelve years ago) link
those are awesome, laurel! i might order a pair of glasses online bc clearlycontacts is having a sale where first-time customers get free glasses! (tho pay for s&h, etc). i think i need to get smaller frames for climbing, because i have bumped my big frames against the wall a couple of times and it is jarring and prob not great for my glasses... i really like big frames tho! we shall see
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Monday, 9 January 2012 22:56 (twelve years ago) link
here are the glasses I got two weeks ago... they are from SEE eyewear.. not sure if y'all have those

By which I mean you are great, and they're picking up on your greatness. Nice lip color.

Boot update:
Boots are here. The lace-up front panel is fake, so it doesn't really open, and they are not really adjustable. And I can't zip them up. Going back.
2012 is going to be the year i regularly wear pants that are not khakis or jeans

ooh I just came here to say that piped houndstooth skirt is 50% off on eShakti now, if it wasn't before!

Bah, Laurel, I'm sorry! I deeply empathize with that particular disappointment.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 15:21 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, thanks. Kinda pissed at the website because the ad copy specifically SAID that the lace-up front made "for a custom fit." The lying snakes.
