(vintage bowler hat, aa reversible zip sheath dress, F21 layered necklace)

i seem to always be attracted to anything black with zippers and most definitely if its a mini. i like this aa version of the simple black zipper dress because its off the shoulder and because its loose fitting, totally opposite from the usual bodycon minidress. i havent tried wearing the zipper in the back yet, but i have worn it open as a jacket/vest and it works pretty well. this photo was taken at la cita last thursday. its one of my favorite bars in downtown.

i will be spending the rest of the night today and tomorrow working on a few garments. we will be debuting our stuff and selling at the collective souls flea market next saturday. im pretty excited and anxious at the same time. its always nerve-racking to have your work judged, but on the plus side its really rewarding to see your things being worn and loved by other people. i will post a flyer and info for the flea market later on this week.

    agreed. zippers are a must right now.
    and case you didnt know.. your eyes.. im so jealous, they're amazing.. and please dont say you dont like them. i've complimented very few people on their eyes and they all say something like 'really? i hate them'..
    ahha i only wish to not of had brown eyes.. man..
