Fantastic Fridays and weird looks

There's this old woman who works for us and she stared at me today like I was weird. Probably cuz I'm wearing shorts (and it's cold out) with mustard-colored tights and a big black flower in my hair.
Marco, the Italian chemical guy, did a double take. I'm not saying he thought I was attractive. I think he was just thrown-off by the mustard-colored tights, big black flower & shorts. In late October.

But since I've discovered that I can continue to wear my shorts when the weather turns cold because of the marvelous invention that is brightly-colored tights, I guess I can expect to get many weird looks. I don't care. Cuz I get to wear shorts in the winter! Which excites me:




I know a bunch of you are a fan of SEPIA toned pictures. This one is for you.

You can answer the following question honestly because I love this outfit and my mind is made up, so you won't hurt my feelings. I might judge you as having bad fashion taste though (KIDDING)*

Was this a major outfit fail? Or was this appropriate for a Fantastic Friday?

Speaking of Fantastic Fridays, I saw Laura Marling this week at World Cafe Live. World Cafe is a venue at the offices of Philly's member supported raidio WXPN. They have a big room downstairs and smaller cafe-type room upstairs where you can eat yummy yumminess.  The show was UPSTAIRS and therefore very intimate & I got to chow down on veggie chili while seeing her perform.

Laura was alone- with just a celloist/background singer. She played a TON from her upcoming album and it was amazing! She's totally insecure on stage and absolutely adorable. Also dresses like a hobo. Like another Brit I know.

Enjoy and HAPPY FRIDAY!

Mmm, do you know how much I love everything mustard? The condiment, the color! Gah! I die a little bit every time Nikki wears her mustard colored flats. And I am right with you on the tights part. I think I'm addicted to tights and leggings. Seriously, it's a problem. And I'm kind of upset that Laura Marling has no plans to come to the left coast. Sad Clown.

Psst, it's Chelsea.

You're hot.

I wore plum-colored tights to church yesterday. But not with shorts. So you win.

p.s. Just bought 2 pins from Forever 21 and both reminded me of you. I don't know why, since you're the headband queen and these are brooches. But still. I'll think of you when wearing them.

If I had little tiny legs I may consider this. I have kankles. And they are not attractive. I heart your flower.

Bekah said...

Julie- i HIGHLY doubt you have kankles! you're a skinny mini!
