a/b test
I take pics of my outfits most days (I find it a better perspective than a mirror), but don’t post repeats much.
Photos which don’t become a blog post are generally deleted.
But some of them have lingered.
So get ready for an A/B test!
Below are two different wears of some favorites. Poll time!
My answers are at the very bottom.
Have a great weekend

nurse dress, this is best for both of us
Ah. My beloved nurse dress.
I’ve worn it a lot.
Zipping her up the other day, I knew it would be the last time.
How?
You just know.
We’ve run our course with one another.
To My Trick Your Trick, it goes!
Feel a connection?

pantaloons in dallas [as seen in Greece]
Remember my Grecian Pantaloons?
Here they are stateside.
Out for dog walking & errands on Sunday in good ol’ Dallas, TX.
You’ve come a long way, Pantaloons.
A confusing article.
Makes it interesting.

lazy days
Oof.
Too lazy to construct a real post today.
We get out of work at 2pm Fridays during summer and I am psyched for the 2 1/4 day weekend.
…kinda feel there already.
Hence the laziness.
So, I give you a re-wear of my new favorite pants.
Had to wear them again. This week to work.
Oh they are so good.
Good good pants.
And a cute GIF.
Oooh and I got a ticket to go to the LBC...

Recently, I set up an adjunct site with a link over there ————————————->
called My Trick Your Trick : Let’s Trade!

how do i find the words
*sigh*
I have to preface this post with the following information :
Last Friday I went to Last Call.
They were having big sales.
Damage was done…
But let’s start off with this sick vintage, burnt orange/reddish Anne Klein silk blouse.
Lion head logo!
Thrifted for $3.99.
Beautiful draping silk.
A little JLo dangerous dip before JLo’s time.
Watch out!

the winner!
Man - there was a CLEAR winner in this contest.
Petal to the Metal assisted me.
After the names were tossed around, she dove in for the winning paper.
Then I tossed again & had her grab a runner-up, in case the winner wasn’t contactable, etc. (which Petal was all too happy to do)
And DUDES!!! She pulled out BOTH of Sepideh’s entries!!
I’d say the necklace was fated...

walkin' in the sand
If you haven’t noticed, IT’S SUMMERTIME.
BOY are we noticing in Texas.
I bought this suit 3 years ago, right before I left Portland, at a NE shop named Popina.
The designer takes her inspiration from vintage swim styles.
Body flattering cuts, coverage, material and ruching.
Excellent prices…$50-100.
If you don’t happen to live in Portland, her website has lots...

s/twist [feat. nicole miller dress]
Uh-oh.
Another case of employee discount fever.
Linen, juuust off-white Nicole Miller dress on sale + add’l 50% off = approx $90.
Love the texture of this linen - thicker, but still soft and breathable.
I’d been looking out for white dresses for months and am really psyched on this one.
Out for its first spin Saturday at opening of S/Twist @ Kirk Hopper.
BFF Keri had a...

vintage necklace giveaway
I was going to put this necklace on My Trick Your Trick,
but then thought : this necklace is so cool…perfect for…a giveaway!
*Sigh* If you’ve been reading for a bit, you know I buy jewelry sometimes,
but rarely end up wearing it.
It just isn’t fair to wonderful vintage pieces, like this!
A golden snakey choker with ceramic peach flower.
And just LOOK at how...

I just made up that teazy = two.
And here she is, dress number teazy : We’ve seen this Buffalo Exchange/Dallas purchase before ($17.50).
Another dress I can throw on, add a belt and bam!
Looks fancier than it is.
Really digging this dress with red accessories.
Spicy!
I had to repair a li’l hole at the pocket after I bought it, but no big.
Took 2 minutes on the sewing...

easy peasy dresses fo sheezy
This week I bring you two dresses which I can throw on with little fanfare,
are made of malleable & comfy poly and look fancier than they actually are.
In short long:
running-late-for-work-don’t-have-time-for-styling-effort-but-still-want-to-look-put-together dresses.
This first one is a resale Bisou Bisou I purchased at Buffalo Exchange for $12.50.
Has pockets, a lovely color...
