Style Symmetry

WoW! Now this was a show! We made are way up to the 3rd row and danced our way thru the 80 minute set. Their apparent sexual tension is electric. Best of the night was definitely Kissy Kissy, where his guitar was like a weapon to “Stab her kissy kissy mouth”.

P.S. not a pic from our show, I left the camera at home to just cut loose.

Now I <3 Whitney and and all her curves, but I really though Anya deserved to take it.
Especially with her positive attitude and natural radiance.  Thoughts?

Kissy Kissy   I was just happy to get out of the house fully dressed.  This is hairdresser styled hair, so it’s behaving.

James’ thoughts: Once, covers were selected because of their graphic boldness and visual panache. Now they are chosen based on market research that tests the appeal of various stars and cover lines. Is today’s method really more effective or does all this testing just make up for a lack of quality and imagination?

Hel Looks has got to be one of my absolute faves! They offer great inspiration in outfits with lots of spunk. They also on occasion feature the style of older folks (Senior Citizens!) which is definately lacking in the web world of street style sites. My Post of the Day is a two-fer of these lovely gentlemen. The first is Olavi, 87 years young, wears a two-piece suit and a tie everyday. Second we have Konsta, he felt tipped those jeans zebra - awesome! Click the pics to open the site.

This came together like Snap, Crackle, Pop.  Very important for Monday mornings.

I’d have to say this weekend was an adventure, and Sunday was no exception.  I bought the KT Tunstall ticket off craigslist the day prior, (literally) bumped into the seller and his friends in the pit and hung out with them for the show.  She played a solid 2 hour set, with lots of stories and jokes in between, thoroughly entertaining.  She definitely knew how to get the crowd involved with an ‘Audience Participation Vertical Wave’ and the group jumping session she led us on to test out the spring loaded floor.  The most fun song of the night was Black Horse and the Cherry Tree and it’s my least favorite.   I cannot even believe I almost missed out on this concert!

Stoppin’ the Love

I wore a very similar outfit last summer (same scarf, sweater and skirt), it makes me smile when slight modifications can make a whole new outfit. Lately I have been working a lot with the clothes I already have and spending money on concerts instead. That being said, got a sweet deal on a solo ticket and am off to see KT Tunstall (post to follow). Click small pic for more details.

I had trouble putting an outfit together (hmmm, when have I ever said that before?).  So I just left the house in this   I was wearing leg warmers under the jeans for the purpose to actually keep my legs warm, didn’t get to use them esthetically.
