So the light looks different in this picture because it's very early for me to be awake. In the summer, I tend towards a vampiric schedule (it's all Blokey's doing). Then to get on regular people's clocks, I have to do some marathon staying up. We have to fly out early for a friend's wedding this Friday and I'll be busy with bridsmaidy things all weekend. I told Blokey last night, "Do we suffer now or suffer later?" I meant sleep deprivation but he smirked at my guilt stricken, Protestant ways.
On the agenda today: buying grapes, cutting 450 words from this darn manuscript, syllabus-ing, doing laundry (he will carry, I'll follow), and getting veggies from the CSA. Including 2 lbs of potatoes. Carb heaven....
I really like this skirt, but it works better with a belt in the belt holes, because of the fit. Luckily, I have the rest of the month to fix this.
Also, didja hear about In Professorial Fashion's Wonder Woman conference? You should totally participate, because it's gonna be the tops! The cat's pajamas! The bee knees!
Top: Copper Key
Belt: thrifted, via Beacon's Closet

This outfit FTW! I see why you picked that black top, it looks really good on you. And great accessorizing. You need to submit this to the boots-in-summer CFP, too.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! All the subtle military details are great, especially those awesome boots.
ReplyDeleteUmmm. Are you submitting this outfit to our bad ass boots conference over at FA?!?! If not, you should feel some Protestant guilt right now!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this outfit!
ReplyDeleteLookin' awesome, Rad. Those lace-up boots just WORK for you!
ReplyDeletethose boots are ace! Have fun at the wedding!
ReplyDeleteFabulous outfit! I love everything about it!
ReplyDeleteWell, in my nit-picky way I was going to remind you to submit this for FA's Boot conference (because I still have to take photos of myself in my boots-for-summer) but I see that everyone has already pointed out what an awesome boots-for-summer look this is. You look very, very cool in this--temperature and temperament. Does this mean that the heat wave of 2010 in NYC has finally subsided?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the editing. Eep! 450 words? Go, Rad, go! Be ruthless!
Excellent boots-in-summer. I must try that!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about 6 x August! I wear a lot of basics, and I'd love some inspiring ideas on how to make that more interesting. Step one appears to be summer boots!
LOVE this ensemble. LOVE it. Also, I cannot get enough of those boots.
ReplyDeleteAnd finally, thanks for the shout out. After the awesome FA Badass Boot Conference, the WW Pose Conference is going to have a tough act to follow! Lucky for us, everyone's poses are super-bada$$ thus far.
Hi Rad,
ReplyDeleteYour my first stop so I will not run out of my alloted blogging time. I read yesterday's post and todays so I'm all caught up.
Today's outfit is edgy chic to the second power! We are only at day 3 and I'm getting a little bored with my choices. How are you doing?
Thanks for the nice words everyone! I got married in these darn boots so I wear them as much as I can/
ReplyDelete@PM: I fear the military vibe will be very common the next few weeks.
@Cynthia, LHdM, and D-Med: Done and done! And it was a downright high of 84 today. Or so. I may have slept through a bulk of the day...
@KB: I hope that I can be creative and remain interesting! These boots are my "folkloric" staple. I want to traipse about in meadows in them, even though I am two with nature.
@SU: I have a little anxiety about how to remix the same pieces over and over again, but I hope to keep it fresh with accessories.
Somehow you even manage to look cool in those boots, Rad. This is a combination that could take you far, far into the future...
ReplyDeleteI like the black top and brown belt combination.
ReplyDeleteyou are rocking these 6 clothes, innit. i loves you and send my best to your lovely chicago friends.
ReplyDeleteLoving this great neutral look!
ReplyDeleteGood luck altering your sleep schedule, and have fun at the wedding!
Those boots are simply fabulous! They totally make the outfit.
ReplyDeleteLove those boots!
