hot pink toss up
A glowing bright, hot pink dress.
I decided to go a little “prom” with the sequin belt (came with a top I got rid of a while ago).
This dress came with a pink slip, but I swapped that out for black.
And hey! The strap snaps again inside the shoulder :
Every sleeveless dress would benefit from these.
Is this an old Banana Republic label?
Purchased at Buffalo...

walking the dog
I should do a whole series on morning dog walk outfits.
But that would KILL the whole time-crunch spontaneity fun of it.
People get away with almost anything.
It’s great.
messy hair.
underwear optional.
whatever you wore yesterday.
etc.
Very early Matrushka.

hiiiiiiiiyah!
Randi at work said this looked like a karate belt.
Totally.
It came with the dress I’m wearing in my icon.
Paired it up for a little yellow on yellow action here.
You probably recognize this dress because I wear it lots.
Always adds a little silky sunshine.
A goodie.

my trick kyla's trick
Remember my bathing beauty romper from last year?
Well, at the time, Kyla of Blue Collar Catwalk commented how much she loved it.
So, when I wasn’t wearing it this summer because it needed a little fix, I asked her if she wanted it.
She said yessir! so I sent it off to Pennsylvania. It looks great on her!
I’m super into trading because :
1. It’s fun
2. I get to...

...a charmer
This is the first time I’ve worn this thrifted Marc Jacobs silk skirt set
since it was originally on Those Tricks.
See what I mean about hems and the Texas heat?
104. For days it seems. Be gone fabric!
I have no need for you now!
As you can see I feel sunny in this outfit.
Even though I went all black.
Heels and Purse also thrifted = 100% Resale!
Oh and ps - it was a windy...

raphael.
I’m so excited about this piece, “Raphael,” I bought from Joel Kiser at 500X.
A month had to pass before the exhibit was over, so I didn’t get to bring him home until last Tuesday.
Metal card catalogue drawer.
With Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Raphael sinking away in plaster.
So awesome.

80s pastel linen skirt.
From Thrift Town in Dallas for $1.99.
Lightweight colors.
Summerwear. Yah! You know what’s missing from my closet?
Slips that aren’t black.
The whites would look crisp if I was wearing nude slippage, instead.
When I mentioned slips once to a pal at work, she responded, “Slips? Who wears slips?”
I wear them all the time. Under dresses...

we are the champions!
A scandolous slit, eh?!
If you haven’t heard, the underdog Dallas Mavericks won the NBA championship on Sunday!
My dad has had season tickets since the team came to Dallas in 1980.
31 years of waiting for the trophy!
haha.
Between the last round of the playoffs and the first round of the finals,
I was having dinner with my fam at Suze and the star player, Dirk Nowitzki, sat next to...

linda is ellen
I’m sure I’ve mentioned that I rarely accept fake buttons (i.e. as decoration without a functioning partner hole).
A dress design like this would be suspect to feature fakes.
However!! this dress is a trip because it sexily unbuttons (or buttons, depending on if you are a see things half-dressed or half-undressed type) all the way up the side, but zips up the back.
100% silk....

hatch.
My other purchase from the H&M in Athens.
I opted for size large (more flowy fabric) but should have probably gotten medium.
No big at $15.
Such lightweight cotton always draws me in.
An especially handy fabric for stylin’ and profilin’ in the hot hot Dallas summer heat.
Do you have to ban certain fabrics during the summer months where you live?
For me : Alllllmost...

look the part
When in Rome Athens!
I wanted a Grecian dress to bring home.
Best found at the tourist shops.
This was the one.
Full-skirt twirl factor.
Though, I do plan on taking it in & up a liiiittle.
Also showing part of a piece of art I just purchased.
Once I get to bring it home, I’ll show the full piece.
That’s Rafael being swallowed.
my trick your trick is back...for trade!
I’ve fired up My Trick Your Trick again.
Originally, I thought I’d use it to hock some wares.
But now it’s gonna serve as a TRADE PAGE.
Check it out and if you see something you want to trade for, let me know!

Basketball is the only sport I am into.
Dallas’s team is in the Finals.
It’s an energetic face-off for lots of reasons.
The Mavs won a big game in the last seconds on Thursday.
Basketball fans in town are so excited.
After Thursday’s game, I wanted to wear Mavs swag the next day.
This is a man’s XL tee from one of the Playoff Games.
I cut out the neck and took...

vintage inspired
I bought this dress from Anny’s shop : Feeling Vintage, in Athens.
Before leaving Zakynthos, Toni and I mapped out the place.
Since I’d stayed in Plaka my first night, I totally thought I knew how to get there.
Yeahhhh after traipsing the wrong way for a long time, I broke out my maps and restarted at square one (aka Syntagma).
I arrived at the shop.
CLOSED.
Nooooooo....
