Revas Rags 2 Roses: leather pants

TA- DA ! I DID IT !

I FOUND ANOTHER PAIR OF LEATHER PANTS :)

I DON'T SEE MYSELF STARTING A ROCK BAND ( SORRY JIM ) BUT I GOTTA ADMIT, I FEEL LIKE A BAD-ASS IN THESE THINGS ! I TRIED REALLY HARD TO LOOK THE PART, BUT I WAS GIGGLING INSIDE THE WHOLE TIME. THANKS TO WHOMEVER ATE TOO MANY COOKIES OVER THE HOLIDAYS. THEY LEFT ME THESE GAP LEATHER JEANS AT GOODWILL FOR 19.99. SCORE !!!

( Quick back-story : I found a pair in December only to return them. They were too tight and painful )

Honestly, I'm not sure how much wear these dream-boats will get either as I don't do pants well ....

We'll see ;)

I PAIRED THEM WITH A FOO-FOO DRESS I FOUND AT TARGEI' FOR 4.24 (75%OFF) AS NOT TO MAKE THEM TOO TOUGH. I FOUND THE PERFECT SHADES ( image 1 & 3 ) FOR A BUCK AT GOODWILL AS WELL. THEY HAVE THAT STEAMPUNK APPEAL THAT I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.....

( no eye-piece, just metal ) ~ BUT MY LATEST GIANT SUNNIES JUST LOOKED LESS 'CONTRIVED'.

OH, YEAH, I'M BAD ....

ATTIRE: GAP LEATHER JEANS:THRIFTED

DRESS: TARGET ~ CROPPED SWEATER: OLD

BOOTS: HARLEY DAVIDSON, THRIFTED

HAT: THRIFTED ~ BROOCH: 1928 (RETIRED)

LATEST GIANT SUNNIES (with silver trim) RUE21

BOO !

THIS "TURBI-TOWEL" IS AWESOME ;)

It is small, has an elastic 'hook' at the nape to tuck the towel in, and looks so glamorous ;)

( You probably don't see these glasses often either as I don't really like them. Too "trendy-ish"-

I usually wear my old black ones. TIP: ALWAYS get the glare-free coating ..... )

BEFORE I FORGET :

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR UP-LIFTING COMMENTS AND SUPPORT LATELY !!! I AM SO HONORED TO HAVE SUCH A BUNCH OF GREAT NEW BLOG BUDDIES :) AS WELL AS MY REGULAR BLOG BUDDIES. ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT IS OVERWHELMING AND APPRECIATED .

I LOVE YOU GUYS :) - EVER NOTICE DRUNK PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY THAT? (No, I'm sober)

DOESN'T THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOOK COZY TODAY ? I HAD WHAT SEEMED TO BE A WEEK OF RUNNING AROUND NON-STOP. THEN, TODAY WE WERE GRANTED A COZY BLANKET OF STILLNESS.

THOUGH I DON'T LIKE DRIVING IN IT, NOR BEING COLD ( The temp. is in the 20's- the average temp. is mid-forties ), I DO LOVE THE MUFFLED EFFECT OF SNOW. IT IS AS THOUGH YOU COULD HEAR A PIN DROP OUT THERE AND THE NOISE FROM ALL THE NEARBY HIGHWAYS DISAPPEARS.
I SUDDENLY SEE THE WORLD THROUGH NEW, CALMER EYES.
THE SNOW REMINDS ME TO BE STILL. REMAIN IN THE MOMENT AND TAKE A VACATION FROM THE USUAL . TO EXPERIENCE THE EXTRAORDINARY. TO SNUGGLE :) ~ TODAY IS A REMINDER OF HOW IMPORTANT THE BELOVED "SNOW DAYS" OF MY CHILDHOOD WERE. I HAVE MORE FOND MEMORIES OF THESE KIND OF DAYS THAN ANY OTHER. I MAY MAKE SOME SNOW-CREAM ;)
AND TODAY, I WILL FORGET THE OLD 'WIVES TALE' THAT THE FIRST SNOW ISN'T SAFE FOR EATING ;)
