Better Leave Her Behind With The Kids, They're Alright

I wore this outfit on an ill-fated Saturday night. First, I burned my hand making dinner. We had set plates down. On the stove. On a burner. That had been boiling pasta 5 minutes ago. So that was not awesome. But I put my hand in a bowl of ice water immediately and avoided any permanent or even temporary damage. Then I got all dolled up…

And we went down to The Handsome Kitten (which is what our friends Jason and Kat’s apartment becomes when it is used as a show venue) to see our friends Giggle Party play. Now I knew before hand that that crowd would be on the younger side. OK? I understood that. What I didn’t understand is that we would be the ONLY people, besides the band, who were over 18. I am not kidding. It was wall to wall teenagers in there. So I stayed for maybe 20 minutes, panic building in my chest, and then had Nathan take me home. There is almost NOTHING I find more frightening than teenagers*, and that many of them in one place at one time? A big no thank you to you.

But I really liked this outfit, so I goofed off and took a few poor quality indoor shots for you before I took it off. And I added antlers in case you got bored.

Oh god, the children. SOOO bad! SOO SOO bad! They make me hate anything vampire related and the radio. I am literally afraid to listen to the radio.
*shudders in the corner

I used to get annoyed with teens easy, but I have been working with them at a Teen Center on the base here, primarly the middle school aged..I love them now. They are such an awesome mix of child and trying to be adult.=)

Love the pop of red in the boots.

You have some really great books on your bookshelf! Sorry, I love the outfit and the antlers, but I spent more time reading the titles of your books!

Raquelita said...

This outfit is so fun! I'm sorry the teenagers scared you away from your evening out!

C said...

Oh god, teenagers give me the heebie-jeebies. I ADORE these pictures, though! The lighting is all subtle and awesome, and the antlers don't hurt any! Plus, you look great!

Individually they're better than a teeming throng of them but I share your feelings.

Your antler pictures remind me of a book I had when I was little. I don't know what it was called, but there was a girl who grew antlers so she hung laundry on them or hung donuts on them and covered them with a big piece of cloth when she went in public and pretended she just had on a really big hat.

OK now I have to go figure out what it was called because it's killing me!

I love the outfit (esp. the skirt and boots), and as someone who has more than their fair share of antlers on head pictures, I heartily approve of your posing choice!

I spent more time looking at your books than your outfit too (ah ha ha), but I LOVE these pictures. The antlers are the best touch evar.

So sorry you burned your hand and had to deal with teenagers though--ugh.

XOXO

Love the outfit!

I think you mean the book "Imogen's Antlers". I read that to my preschool class. When her antlers disappear she gets a peacock tail instead.
The outfit- so flipping awesome. I now want a sequin skirt.

Teenagers whom I do not know = scary.
Teenage boys especially.

Love love love your skirt!!!

What a great combination!

I too hate teenagers, mostly in groups, but I didn't like them when I WAS one, so.....I didn't really have a point there. Teenagers. Bad. lol

Goober said...

Love the outfit - and I love the antler shot.

I agree about teenagers, especially groups of them. I stopped at Starbucks yesterday not realizing it was across the street from a high school. I practically dove over the counter to get my coffee so I could get out of there as quick as possible!

Rebecca said...

The sparkle skirt and boots look great together. I keep wondering if I can get away with cowboy boots, since I live in the Midwest.

Kat said...

Since this was my party, I have to say these teenagers (for the most part) were pretty awesome, but then again, they tend to give me money for playing music, so I am biased. I do not blame you one bit for bailing though! Handsome Kitten shows are usually not that full of teens.

I had a bad burn a few months ago and I still have the mark! :-(

FutureLint said...

That outfit is awesome TO THE MAXXXX!

Candycane said...

Great outfit - shame your couldn't stay - I always feel akward at things like that too ...

Can I ask how you got your goodreads widget on your page - it won't stay on mine *frustrating*

Also was reading your book titles behind you :D

Amie said...

Packs of teenagers freak me out too. They did even when I was one!
Loving the outfit though. That skirt is killer!

K said...

I feel the same way about the younger crowd. You looked great though!

There is nothing boring about this outfit, adn I love every bit of it, including the temporary antlers.

Teenagers give me hives.

Kelly said...

Slaymaiden - yessss that was it!

Cowboy boots and bare legs with skirts or shorts are always perfect in my book!
