Check Me Out!

Just back from a great weekend vacation with my family, about which I will post over the next few days... There's one particular fashion experience, bordering on the surreal, that I can't wait to tell you about.

However, exciting news du jour is that Super Kawaii Mama has made me over high-style here. As mentioned, I won a contest a couple of weeks ago and here's but one example of how Ms. SKM would dress me up:


What I love about this - aside from the me-centricity and FANTASTIC pieces - is that SKM has really taken my shape and my needs into consideration. Any of the outfits she worked up is ideal to go from work to fun, from early morning to hot-as-hell afternoon. And the delicious eclecticism with which she's paired things echoes my own. I like to call it "crazy put together". Perhaps the French (or Australians) have another way of saying it.

Oh, and though I didn't mention this to her, anyone who actually knows me knows that I am pale as death and I NEVER leave the house without sunblock 30 and a huge-ass hat. So how ESP-stylist is she?

At any rate, I am so thrilled to have had the chance to see some new looks, just for me, I might not have considered. BTW, if you are short and curvy, they may be just the thing for you too...

For your viewing pleasure (and my own), I'm going to see how I can work some of these ideas into my wardrobe - mindful of budget, natch. Thanks again SKM. I'm so appreciative of your creativity.

  5. I love the striped wedges. They're not checkered, but they make me think of the upcoming Grand Prix (wish I had tix).
