It’s not my best effort. It’s boring. And I think it’s actually a great example of why a Black Out Challenge is such a good idea. I didn’t feel bad in this outfit, but I sure didn’t feel my best.
The tassel on the back of that necklace seemed like such a good idea when I made it, and I do still love the aesthetic of it, but that thing basically ends up in front tangled up with the rest of the necklace most of the time.
I will say this, I was comfortable at least. This was basically the same as wearing PJs to the office.
I forget where I got that adorable mustache ring. If I weren’t so lazy, I’d look it up, but I AM.
Nathan found this at a thrift store for a buck fifty or something. I love it. I hope that all it needs is a new battery (yes, I wore a non functioning watch all day). The battery is a 396. We have looked at CVS, Target, Wal-Mart and Office Depot. No luck. I know they sell them at the Swatch store, but the Swatch store is in the mall. I used to love the mall, but now it’s just like, a big shrine to things I want and cannot afford. It give me hives just thinking about it so I am avoiding going there. It’s not looking like I am going to get out of it if I want the watch to function though. BOO.

order the battery on ebay. I got a like 8 pack of swatch batteries for like $6 bucks. I have a few swatches and now apparently have a enough batteries for life. (Mine is the skin kind)
I have that watch too! Mine was a Christmas present in 1986 and I've never been able to part with it.
I know what you mean about the mall. The place that sharpens my kitchen knives is in the mall and I have to walk past a Victoria's Secret (hello, beautiful stuff that will never fit) AND Journey's (hello shoes that I can't afford). They should put the places that provide services as near an entrance as possible!
Your blog is cute, and I like your tasseled necklace.
do you have one of those "battery plus" stores near you? they have tons of different batteries there.
hush yourself woman, you look great!
I seem to breaking the no-black week rule too, completely not on purpose I swear. But I love your rock look today, totally awesome.
yes!!! an old swatch watch! that's so awesome...i miss swatches. i love that necklace you made!
I think the tassel on that necklace is adorable, but it makes sense that it would be hard to wear.
Hahaha. Lucky for your BLACK-OUT week is over or I'd be all up in your bidness.
OK, not really.
Oh my gah, I love that Swatch. I remember that one from when it first came out. I have probably 20 Swatches and they're all out of batteries. It's too hard to keep up with that many watches!
Anyway, I think these pictures are adorable and you look great even if you felt "lazy". Still two thumbs up from me~!
For an outfit created out of alleged laziness, it sure is very stylish! Love all the accessories and how they play off the black!
You look like a New Yorker!
You still look effortlessly cool - and I love those clogs! That necklace is amazing...what about making the tassel longer so that the weight of it holds it down your back more?
Heh, I remember that Swatch. I have one with a dead battery too(but not that pattern).
I love the mustache ring and your picture with it is hilarious. You are too fun!
Black can definitely be super chic--and I do think you think chic and sleek here--but I'm always drawn to brights!
It's the heat - it's just lazy-making. Ugh...it's already 96, heat index 114 in Houston.
flipping love the moustache ring :) You are so clever. I basically wear all black every.single.day!
