Haiku Ambulance | ☞ {an historical tour de force, grilled to perfection}
This was yesterday. I have been utterly buried at work, and so things are kind of day-late, dollar-short this week. Let’s all think happy, yellow and pink thoughts about the (abbreviated) weekend.
Bottom Up:
Shoes: Payless
(We’ve been over this. Even though I just typed out a paragraph about them anyway. It’s been deleted.)
HIGH Waist Trousers: Common Era
(Common Era only exists in Boulder and Denver. It is a great boutique that sells really sharp clothing at even sharper prices. They also have all sorts of little handmade trinkets and items from the locals. Annnnnnd, they sell Seychelles. Ah yes, these were on Clearance, too: $18!!)
Grey Dolman Top: Forever 21
(I love a good Dolman. I find it extremely flattering. Plus, the Dolman with the tight pants really puts the Jones in my Grace.)
Necklace: Thrifted
(Obvi)
Gigantaring: Forever21
(Never ever ever buy cheap rings. Unless, that is, you have a bottle of clear nail polish at home. Brilliant.)
And, that my friends, was yesterday.
And again, holla Lo-Mob.
She won.
This was yesterday.
It was a bad day from the start, as you can read below because my posts are really out of order.
I was in no mood for pictures, smiling, or general happiness.
Bottom Up:
Shoes: Payless
(This is one of the few cheap pairs of shoes I own that are not extremely painful. And they, too, assist me in my Spring delusions. I’ve worn them a lot recently.)
Leggings: Target
(You can’t really see them because I wasn’t really caring at the time, but they are a greyish mauveish taupeish? Kind of an odd color, but they have three cute buttons on the ankles.)
Skirt: Forever21
(Very recent purchase. Some buyers remorse as it is way too short to wear with nothing underneath. Ah, well- lace bike shorts: here I come!)
Belt: Thrifted Anne Klein
(Got this little item this weekend at the ARC with the ugly couch that almost came home with us.)
Shirt: Target?
(I’m not entirely sure on this. I’ve had this item for years.)
Necklace: Thrifted
(Yeah, yeah. You know.)
And that’s that. No details. No fun stuff.
Just me and a pompadour and a really bad attitude.
This week has been completely off. And mighty terrible.
Monday, I had Jury Duty. Nothing is fun about Jury Duty. Not even the $7 I had to pay to park to get there.
Yesterday, I came back to work and had to put out lots of fires that arose in my absence.
Then, I lost my wallet.
I went to where I left it (Walgreens of all places) and no one had turned it in.
Then I went to the Bank and cancelled everything.
Then I had nightmares about assholes stealing my identity.
Today, I went back to Walgreens and guess who was there?
My wallet.
Holy close one, Batman.
And a special thank you to my friend, Karma.
Allow me to preface this by saying I purchased the Lo-Mob App for my iPhone and that is solely responsible for how nice everything is looking today.
Again, the weekend moves too quickly sometimes for us to stop and take detail shots of our blouses and trousers.
A foot, though– that’s do-able.
And these guys, too.
Bottom Up:
Shoes: Target
(They’re still treating me well, and still very soft even for 1/2 size too small.)
Trousers: Thrifted
(These are wonderful. I think they’re petite which I am finding to be nearly imperative for high waisted trousers if you’re not interested in a ton of excess-saggy-butt-fabric. Even though I am certainly not petite.)
Belt: Thrifted
(Let’s not repeat ourselves, mkay?)
Blouse: Thrifted
(I’m actually wearing this buttoned all the way up. But it’s like, super sexy 70′s, so our top button is like, only halfway up the shirt, you see? Its sexy seventies, what do you want?! And to squelch any rumors before they arise: I did not intentionally pop my collar. I take my coat off immediately before taking these, and a certain someone thought it was on purpose.)
I guess that’s it. Kind of minimalist this Sunday. Well, I guess I wore a little bracelet, t00- but it was really unimportant.
Ah, well- onto lunch!
Ok, I know I can be a bit… hyperbolic?
But seriously, this is the best sandwich you have ever had in your life. Guaranteed.
I get muscle spasms if it’s been too long since I’ve had one.
It’s the white truffle egg salad sandwich from this place, and OH MY GOD. I am so sorry if you don’t live in Denver, because your life would have just changed.
Here’s a little story: Once upon a time I went to this sandwich place nearly 20 times and never got anything else. Until today:
French Duck Soup with Wild Mushroom
Yes, ma’am.
{and I totally did not eat my entire egg salad sandwich with pasta salad and then get up and order the richest soup on the block. Totally did not.}
And then we had a drink at this place!
Hooray, Sputniks.
Thennnnn, on the way to this place, we saw this:
And had some of these:
And that, my friends, was Sunday.
A little weekend menswear on Saturday.
Complete with a pompadour/ducks ass. All apologies for not taking a picture of the back of my hair. But I’ll do it again, so don’t be too sad.
As it is was the weekend, I didn’t do any detail shots. Except of my nails. But they have a story behind them.
Well, we are going to the mall. So I’ll leave you with this taste and be back later with more.
Enjoy your Sunday, friends.
Ok, well it’s now Tuesday and I have returned!!
Let’s pick up where we left off, shall we?
Bottom Up:
Shoes: Urban Outfitters
(They’re there now. And I got them 20% with a super email coupon. They are very comfortable.)
Jeans: Forever21
(Their pants fit me well and are typically less than $20. I’ve had these for a whiiiile and they are just fine. Just fine.)
Shirt: Thrifted GAP
(Pretty much just a long sleeved shirt that can go with anything. Great to have a thing or two like this.)
Suspenders: Thrifted
(These are very very tiny. But all the suspenders I acquire, break almost immediately, which is not at all awesome.)
Necklace: Thrifted
(Ooooooooh, the circle of life! I bought this at the ARC, wore this to the ARC {as you will learn below} and then I broke it at the ARC. At least all 83,298,347,563,278 beads didn’t explode onto the tile floor.)
Ah, well- onto lunch!
These are my nails pointing to the delicious Nitorogen Milk Shake (with Jim Beam) that I ordered.
I painted my nails like that because of this:
Typically, I could guarantee you that you would never ever not on your life see me with nail art.
But this- I wanted.
However, my orange looked pretty much like her orange in real life. Even though I don’t have pointy witch fingernails. Ahem.
My shake. Strawberry mint. Yeah, it was fucking delicious.
His shake. Nutella with toasted marshmallow. It was a good second.
They came from H Burger Co downtown.
Oh yeah, and then we went to the ARC (a different one than mine, though) and seriously considered buying this ugly piece of garbage:
And that, my friends, was Saturday.
