Glitter Plaid Tried to Kill Me

Wednesday was the day I couldn't get dressed comfortable. I tried to wear this Roxy strapless dress I wore to that wedding in Raleigh, NC back in Sept.

Self-timer note: Camera is on some tree knots. -Not working well. That marathon stuff messing up my route through Central Park really made me really cranky.


I rode my bike. This is along 5th Ave. around 8:30am.

It's early and I look insane. I feel itchy. And I'm terribly hot.
These tights are not OK with these booties. I went to the drug store and got new tights before I went into work.

I'm not going to crop this or fix the wires & outlet in the photo because it reflects the chaos and struggle of my day in this doomed get-up.
Outfit #2. This is a sweater-dress that's been hanging out in my desk. It was comfortable, but way short. And I'm on a bicycle. I now have footed tights, but they're navy. Everything else is black.


I needed something to put under that Roxy plaid dress because the back panel of elasticized ruching was literally killing me with itchiness. I had a lace-topped stretch dress that I put under the Roxy plaid dress and that seemed pretty cool:


Then I put my coat & gloves, realized it was lipstick time...


I'm working a lot of layers here - lace, studs, glitter plaid, faux leopard fur...


Then I put on some MAC Girl About Town because today, after sorting this dress out, I was a girl about town.


I rode the bicycle up to Bendel's on 5th Ave for another MAC make-up class. I realized my lights were either lost, misplaced, or stolen, so I had to call Matt to bring sneakers and escort me and the bicycle home. He brought Bonnie in a taxi to pick me up. I Love the idea of Bonnie riding in taxis. She gets picked up quickly too because she's so pretty, I'm sure.


I can't ride at night with no lights! That's just not safe. I'm walking the Bonnie and Matt's walking the bike. That was Wednesday and now on Sunday, I still haven't found my (clip-on) lights. I think they must have been stolen from the bike room in our building because I would never leave them on in public. I usually remove them and put them in my purse. I still have some faith that I Just can't find them because they're small.

However - Since it's so dark so early now, I stepped-up my brightness game and Matt installed some brighter lights.
