Dinosaur Dreams

Another 'bombing around town' outfit. As it happens, i'm bombing around town today as well....so this will be a short post.

First - those are black lacy 'low cut' peds from Chinese Laundry via T. J. Maxx. They stay in place, shield the foot from friction, and don't sprout holes (like these evil Peds from HUE).

Secondly - i couldn't get the camera to pick up the stripes in this jacket on this day. So look over on the coast or at UC Berkeley to see those nice stripes.

Thirdly - i lied. Mostly this is a short post because i have nothing to say, of interest or not. However, some intrepid paleontologists have unveiled the discovery of two new dinosaurs in Utah, namely Utahceratops and Kosmoceratops. In my opinion, the latter species should rightly be spelled 'Cosmoceratops' as it '...boasts the most ornately decorated dinosaur head known to date, with 15 horns.' Ha! The next time some Ignoramus sp. give you grief over your own concern with ornamentation, remind him or her that the evolutionary process saw fit to encourage and maintain maximum ornamentation as long as 76 million years ago. That's even before the Americas had come into being as continents!

hhmmmm.....that's giving me a whole new perspective on the pyramid studs on this bag.

Lace Tank: Jockey
Jacket: McCalls Pattern M5594, made by me

  2. I read that about the new dinosaurs - that's so exciting (I love paleontology, archaelogy and anthropology)! I would love to go on a dig sometime.

  6. I love that tiered skirt on you! It's flowy and poufy without looking bulky...if that makes sense.

  7. Hi Kelly! sorry i've taken so long to respond to your comment.....i agree! that's one of the things i also like about this skirt. it's nice for hiking, etc. - you can get that 'full skirt' look without having too much fabric to keep track of in those porta-potties and outhouses, if you know what i mean ; )
