When: Friday, September 17th, 2010

Where: Out causin’ trouble

What: Leather jacket (Century 21), dress (Forever 21), boots (thrifted via Beacon’s Closet), bad girl attitude (you don’t wanna know)

Be afraid… be very afraid!

Last Friday, I grabbed my helmet, jumped on my hog and set out to toss back some brewskies with the gang before ridin’ out for a night of trouble. 

Oh wait, you didn’t know about my alter-ego, Sheila, who’s also a Hells Angel? 

Trust me… you don’t wanna meet her in a dark alley.

But Sheila’s not all bad.  And just to show people that she can be a nice girl (when she wants), she even paired her jacket with an ulta-girly floral chiffon dress and smiled for the camera.

When: Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Where: Work + MAD (Museum of Art & Design)

What: Dress ($20 Banana Republic thrifted via Beacon’s Closet), necklace ($8.50 eBay), shoes ($45 Banana Republic)

Aaaargh! I’m just about ready to give up on silk skirts and dresses for work.  Iron as I may, they always seem to get wrinkled as soon as I sit down.  I actually wore this outfit back in May and photographed it for the blog but never posted the photos for this very reason.  I decided to try it again, but the results were about the same.  Oh well, I think it adds character.  I mean you can really tell that I’ve been working hard all day at my desk, not just standing around looking cool and aloof…

At least that’s what I kept telling myself everytime I caught a glimpse of my outfit in the mirror.

This doesn’t count as shopping does it?  

Score! from Adam Saewitz on Vimeo.

I mean, no money is actually going to exchange hands. So I should be good, right? Great!

Now that we’re in agreement, lemme tell you all about Score! in case you haven’t heard of it… Attendees bring their old clothes, music, books, etc, to the event and drop them at the door. Volunteers sort and distribute these items to themed departments where professional curators organize them into boutique-like displays. Attendees have the option to browse each department and take as much as they can carry! Meanwhile, DJs keep the party poppin’, artists silkscreen custom tote bags, and fashion photographers take photos of stylish “scored” outfits. At the end of the day, all leftover items and proceeds from the event are donated to charity. This year’s event is happening on Saturday, May 29th. I can’t wait!
