I was smitten with the dark colors in this dress...I even liked the grey bits! Lovely dress for a moody day. Good fit & length. The lace at the waist doesn't have any stretch & it came to me with several stitches popped from stress. This dress is lined & extremely heavy. 

I bought these Fluevogs with the intent of painting the grey part, but since I haven't done that yet...they immediately leapt to mind when I saw this dress...perfect, yes? 

This was my first time wearing this grey & black polka dotted vintage necklace...I hardly ever wear grey.

My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Perversion, Sin City & Golden Nugget eyeshadow by Too Faced, MAC lipliner in Currant, Homegirl lipstick by Kat von D, & OPI nail polish in Black Cherry Chutney. 

The shoes...should I keep them grey? Hmmm....

I wore this outfit to LEAVE THE HOUSE to get a mammogram...it's been 11 years since my last one. All clear. I wore the other pair of grey shoes I own to walk around in. Davina & The Vagabonds performing live on stage at The Dakota in Minneapolis. 

John Davey playing in my hometown, Marquette. DJs on Twitch playing the soundtrack of my evenings. 

Carsie Blanton, Pat, & Joe doing their monthly rent party. New Wave Saturday night. 

Social Distance Live UnderCovered doing Non English songs. Glenn Crytzer Quartet playing songs of 1938. Sunday night DJ chicks. 

Michael Waite. Working on the Roman shades for the dining room...sewing the lining. 

DJs playing music. And Rye's bed fell off the fainting couch in my office...& he went with it.

Great fit on another boring dress...sigh...do you see a pattern here? After I typed that sentence, I went & deleted dresses from my GB closet that looked like a yawn fest. Cute ruffle midway down the skirt. The white flowers were raised & looked a bit cheap to me. 

Oops...the lining was completely out in back...I hate dresses that do that...line the dress or don't line it, but bits of random fabric that need tending to...nope. 

I liked how I styled the dress. This was my first wearing of this necklace & the cardigan (I had to pop the tags off). 

My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Goddess, UD eyeshadow in Fireball, RSVP eyeshadow by Lime Crime, NYX Liquid Suede lipstick in Foiled Again & Life's A Beach, Trinket lipstick from Sugarpill Cosmetics, & OPI nail polish in Conga-Line Coral. 

Michael Waite. Blueberry Rooibos tea at night...I'm not really a tea drinker, but Kate & I got this tea years ago at Chocolatarian & it is delightful. DJ Baby Berlin spinning 90s happy hour. 

I'm Too Sexy mix on Twitch. Duran Duran via DJ/VJ Ant. And check out these gorgeous layered fishnets from a chick on the Flummunity...I suspect she added the flowers herself & it's just stunning.

I rather liked this dress...but I've gotta say...I'm getting tired of all the blue GB has on offer...& they've got me liking blue. The geometric pattern & various shades of blue were bold, the length was great, & the fit was spot on. GB is calling this a fit & flare dress, but it's more fitted than that...& look here, I actually used the matching belt that came with it! There was a pocket over each breast...why?!! Pockets over breasts should not be a thing. 

Another conservative dress that I think I made cute...but completely work appropriate. That cardigan really changes the look...I like the added orange, but the pattern on the dress is so striking...that it's good without too...but...the pockets!

I haven't worn these shoes in ages...they make me really miss the thrill of the hunt of thrifting. 

My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Sabbath, Nars eyeshadow duo in Mediteranee, Orange County lipliner by NYX, Habanero lipstick from MAC, & OPI nail polish in Atomic Orange. 

DJs on Twitch getting me through a Friday night with some dark music. 

It's a girlie outdoor visit!!! And look...we're all blue & matchy. It was so lovely & normal to lounge around outside on a beautiful day with a beautiful Kate. 

Saturday night new wave tunes via Late Bar's Planet Earth. UnderCovered covers Riot Grrrl bands. Glenn Crytzer & his quartet playing songs from 1937. And more spooky music.

I just adore turning around & seeing these 2 cuties.

Gwynnie Bee has been adding a lot of Eloquii lately & I'm always sucked in by the colors & patterns...but why do they all have neck ties?! I hate them. I prefer to wear necklaces & it always ends up looking sloppy no matter how jaunty I try to tie the strings. Great fit & gorgeous colors on this midi dress...but my favorite part was the slimmer fit ruffled sleeve ends. 

I've had these purple shoes for several years & never wore them...all of a sudden, I find myself thinking they are the perfect shoe for an outfit. Weird.

This is my first time wearing these bracelets that I bought on Etsy in 2018.

My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Psychedelic Sister; Azalea, Agate, & Day Spring eyeshadow by Natasha Denona; Sugarpill Cosmetics lip color in Locket; & Copper Pot nail polish from Sinful Colors. 

One of my Fluvicorns...Half Truth Tanyas in purple (I also covet them in green)...found on the Flummunity on FB...brand new *swoon*. Michael Waite & friends.DJ Baby Berlin spinning 90s alternative happy hour. 

Music to surf the internet to. My first visit to see my primary doctor in over a year. And Tracey dressed up on St. Patrick's Day painting a green china cabinet. 

Listening to DJ/VJ Ant on Twitch. Making the first Roman shade...eeeeek. And Them Coulee Boys playing online live in memory of their friend Max Graham.

I'm not a twofer dress fan, however, I really liked the colors & pattern in the skirt..so why not give it a try? In person...all I could see was a repeating vulva pattern...so I threw avocados into the mix...does it help? The fit was great, with nice pockets...the top portion of the dress was a t-shirt material that attracted ALL the lint. 

These avocado leggings just make me SO happy...what is it about fruits & veggies on my clothing that is so exciting to me?! 

As much as I've expanded my color palette...I'm always happiest in autumnal colors. I just looked back to find out how long it has been since I dyed my hair...last October, which is also when it was last cut. How is it possible my hair grows soooo slowly? 

My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Mildew, Mon Ennui Cosmetics eyeshadow in Rustette & Lumiere, Rubeneque Paint Pot from MAC, Coral Plated Retro Matte lipstick by MAC, & China Glaze nail polish in Agro. 

Test driving a Dodge Challenger...which is our next car. We had planned on getting one last year, then 2020 happened & we weren't leaving the house. David & I drove past a Dodge dealership on a Sunday & they had NO Challengers in their lot...but this used car place had several...so we jumped in & sped off...David is a safe, but adventurous driver & he always makes me squeal with laughter. Being a girlie girl...the only thing I care about with the car is that it be Plum Crazy (close to their original 70s purple)...& they haven't made those since 2019. We looked into getting a new car painted that color & it would be a minimum of $14,000! So, we are looking all over the country for a used Challenger in my preferred color...they get snapped up quickly. 

Fluevog was having a sale...20% off sale shoes...& I could not resist...but I only got this one pair. I decided to go with opulence over practicality...big surprise...but aren't they amazing?! Laith Al-Saadi playing on The Ark's FB. DJs playing New Wave & Goth-y songs on a Friday night. 

These are all the possible necklace contenders I picked to go with this outfit...David helps me decide which one. March's Boxy Charm. And DJ Baby Berlin playing 80s New Wave.

Late Bar Chicago's Planet Earth with more 80s New Wave. And Social Distance Live, UnderCovered: Elliott Smith. The Lowest Pair...as much as I miss actual in person live music...when am I ever going to be this spoiled for entertainment again?!

Davina & her husband, Zack...playing live on FB to get in some practice. She debuted her version of Love Cats (The Cure) during their Valentine show & she played it again here & improved it. I liked it before, but now I love it. I drove to Appleton last Monday for my second PRP shot...one more to go. My knee is a bit better, but it's too soon to tell.
