What I Wore: The Owls Are Not What They Seem
Life has been Lynchian as of late… I thought I might dress the part.
My favorite garment to bring out in the spring is my beloved owl skirt. It has actually been requested by friends lately as it seems to be their favorite as well. It was purchased in a church basement thrift store in a $1 bag sale during high school. It has seen many incarnations since. Playing it up a little more ladylike is how the owl skirt fits in this spring.

I haven’t done an outfit post in a while (what photographable outfit does one wear while moving and unpacking, anyway? haha) so here are a few things I wore this week.

What I Wore: Librarian Lynx
I was lucky enough to receive this fabulous faux-lynx coat as a gift recently. It passed through quite a few hands to get to me and I am very appreciative!!! I’ve been coveting a lot of faux fur pieces lately and this is just perfect, not to mention WARM! Form and function? Awesome.
(Also, not shown in all of its glory here, is The Boyfriend’s latest drawing for his Thesis Exhibition. More on this soon!!!)

I also found these slouchy boots while scouring thrift stores with my mom on Black Friday. Not a bad day for thrift stores, at all! 🙂 I found them for $3.50 and never worn.

What I Wore: Halloween
- © Ciara Pickering 2009
Halloween was AMAZING! My best friend is up visiting me and he and I and The Boyfriend put together some pretty fun costumes. I was inspired by a slashed top from Rodarte Spring 2009. I remember seeing it on Karen O on the cover of Nylon’s June/July 2009 Music issue and even back during those still hot days of summer my costume idea began to take shape.
(Pardon the low quality of my one full outfit picture – cell phone pic was the only one that kinda turned out.)

Halloween (Eve) Inspiration: Eraserhead

My best friend, Dalton, is here visiting and so I don’t have the time to make a huge post but… I didn’t want to leave you hanging, so here is my look for tonight. This is not my Halloween costume or really a costume at all I just got inspired by my favorite film, David Lynch’s Eraserhead.

Dog – meet Clark! This is his Halloween shirt 🙂 He likes to dress up like his mom.
Getting over this *super-fun* flu I’ve had is making me crave comfort clothes… sort of. One cannot make an outfit out of lounge wear, well, not an outfit to wear out of the house anyway. So, I made due with a LOT of super-soft jersey and a few favorite, bright pops of color.
What I Wore: Silver Lining
The weather lately has been beyond dreary in this particular area’s typical way. I have a love/hate relationship with rainy weather. It is definitely good for naps and lie-ins or burrowing away in the studio starting outlandish projects one may or may not finish… (i.e. my new knitting project). A slick, cloudy day is also very good for a little weather-inspired game of dress-up.

I’ve also gotten some productivity in today – more or less completely cleaning out my digital clutter – music, media, projects, etc. Yay!
What kind of activities do you occupy yourself with on a gray, drizzly day? Let me know in the comments!
