Old Navy

I couldn't come up with a witty post title this early, so there ya go.....just "Old Navy". My friend Cristal facebooked me last night with this cute dress she purchased from Old Navy. Of course, I had to copy her and purchased the same dress in yellow, along with a few other things......

What I like most about these pieces is the simplicity. I can go classic to retro to (slightly) edgy with different accessories. I also love cute, knee length, knit dresses for Summer. Can you tell I am ready for the warm weather?

The only thing that gets me about Old Navy is their sizing. I wear anything from an XL Misses to a 3X plus. Generally I am a 2X plus, so....that's pretty insane. I always read the reviews when I order online, and if the item is said to run large, I always size down.

One item I did not purchase was the one below. I am in awe of this bathing suit. How could it possibly look good on anyone? Liquid lame over curves?.....well, maybe.

Oh, my knee is OK by the way, no amputation needed. Just rest, ibuprofen, and some knee sock nightmare to wear daily. Oi.

Don't forget, Friday is the last day to enter our giveaway!

Have a fabulous Tuesday!

Fashion Nugget of the Day: Blues, Pedi, & A Jacked Up Knee

Hello my fab readers! I wish you all a Happy Easter and Passover!

This is a fashion Nugget from a couple of weeks ago. I haven't been able to take many photos as of late, since I mysteriously hurt my knee. I have no idea how or when it happened, but last Sunday afternoon my knee was as swollen and hurting. Yes, it is time to go to the doctor.

Cristal and I went to get pedis and lunch later that day. The pedis turned our marvelous f I do say so myself.....

Aron and I went to the Needle Art Expo last Sunday, before the knee carnage occurred. I wasn't planning on getting my Prison Commie Star tattoo on my wrist touched up, but I did. Why the name for my tattoo? Well, a few years ago I went into (very reputable) tattoo shop in Florida asking for a bright pink star. I ended up with a faded, red piece of prison tattoo work on my wrist. Yea buddy.

Here is a quick pic Aron snapped of me getting the tattoo retouched. It is crusty and healing right now, so I will spare you the photos.

We ran into the guys at Outer Limits comics and Aron snagged some good stuff. One guy had some amazing tattoos. They are artwork from The Walking Dead graphic novels.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday! Don't forget to enter my giveaway!

My Favorite Thing: Leopard Print

Since I was about 14 years old, I have had a thing for leopard print. I think it all started with this vintage, 1960s, faux leopard coat my Mom gave me. Except for a hole in the lining, it was in impeccable shape. I would wear the leopard coat, Alice band, and super bright red lipstick to my middle school classes. Ahhh, the bravery of youth :)

By the way, I still own (and deeply love) that coat.....
