monika’s posterous

just a flash of color

i told my momma about my blog idea of capturing various looks and she said it was self-indulgent and that i shouldn't be so vain.  these were my own fears! however, i think it may be a bit of a generational thing, because i have gotten good feedback from friends.  hm.  well, here is an outfit from last week anyway.  i adore using colorful accessories to make an entirely black outfit more fun.

thursday look

so, if you know me at all, you probably know that i have three great loves in my life: food, dating, and outfits.  today's post is about the look i put together for this thursday.


my girl becca recently gave me the dress you see in the attached photograph.  alone, it's darling and oh-so spring.  however, i wanted to make the outfit a little more "on-the-brink-of-spring-but-not-quite-there-yet" mixed with brooklyn chic.  you can see the result. what you don't see, however, are my bright pink tights and brown motorcycle boots. 

have i ever mentioned that i LOVE arm warmers?  mayhaps the best invention ever.

new blog. new hair.

ok people, are you ready for the girl who never blogs to jump right in?  i am doing so right at this moment and am even attaching a photo of my new haircut. 

if you know me at all, you know that i don't DO boring hair.  not ever.  and so, i am trying to work with this new look and decide if it is funky monkey enough for me or if i need more choppy layers added.  since i am the Last Woman On Earth without a digicam (officially), this photo was taken by my computer and maybe doesn't give you the best representation of the real deal.  my apologies.

i will, of course, keep you updated on how things progress with the hair.  i know you're interested.
