October Hues

Pocket Frog Love.

Blogging is like exercise. The more you do it, the easier it becomes, but if you spend a month on your couch eating Cheetos, excercise gets a little more exhausting. I haven’t been sitting around eating cheesy snacks, but I have been up to everything but blogging. No writing, no sitting & sifting through Tumblr and Pintrest. I’ve been working, which is rewarding but exhausting, & running around town, cleaning the house, selling a large part of my former wardrobe…and maybe playing Pocket Frogs. Maybe. Don’t tell.

It’s good to be back,

♥ Momo

Fall Wardrobe: Part II

Posted on September 19, 2010 | Leave a comment

Cordelia. Carnelian & Labradorite. Sterling.

“You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”

-A.A. Milne {Winnie the Pooh}

This is my favorite necklace I’ve made so far! Carnelian & Labradorite, wrapped with sterling silver.

I was downtown early before work last week and ducked into Anthro to dig through the sales rack. {You know it’s bad news when the sales associates grin at you and say “We haven’t seen you in forever! It’s so good to see you!”}

Identical dresses, one in plum, the other in a medium grey, they are 100% felted Merino wool, on sale, just put out, the only two XS’s in the entire store. They layer perfectly, and make me happy. ♥

Isn’t that a great way to start Autumn?

James Perse: Funnel Neck Dress

It’s officially getting cold, with promising bits of haze in the morning burning away into warmer afternoons.

Because I never seem to be content with what I have, I’d like a comfy draped dress by James Perse. ♥

Grey Friday

Posted on August 20, 2010 | Leave a comment

Grey Friday tones: Etsy. Followed by more Etsy.

After a too-hot start to the week, Seattle is grey once again. I’m starting to pull out my sweaters and long pants & looking longingly at my boots. There’s every chance that when I stumble out of work, it will be sunny and warm, so more planning is required than a simple sweater and Smartwool-socks based outfit.

It’s an obvious trend here that my posts wouldn’t be complete without something from Anthro. I give the the Dried leaves dress in grey felted wool, with little felt flowers at the neckline, which aren’t annoying at all. Because I’m a sartorial masochist I went in, tried it on, hugged it, and put it back. It broke my heart a little. I recommend that you get a size down – because of the material, you run the risk of looking like you’re wearing a well-tailored sack if it’s too big.

I want to wear it & wander around Capitol Hill taking pretend-pictures with this camera, & wearing this upcycled felt scarf:

Shades of Grey: Basics

Etsy: Eyes of Charcoal Dress

I was meant to wear dresses. They’ve become my favorite wardrobe basic, and I’m unwittingly becoming known for them around town. Going from a tomboy-type closet, with three pairs of GAP jeans, one pair of sneakers, and an endless supply of black baggy shirts, the fanciest thing I rolled into 2005 with was a collection of Nine West knee high socks. A lot has changed in the last five years, as I evolved my wardrobe & became an adult.

Thimble & Acorn {love the name} on Etsy is a new favorite. It’s lovely, in a very utilitarian way; love it.

This top is also haunting me:
