MichaMi Style Blog

I’ve always loved the kick-ass outfits worn by those cool and fierce girls you see around the grid (and in many a blog).  I never felt that I could really pull it off though; in my attempts I always felt a little fake, or that the clothes were wearing me, and that I should really be tripping around in a pair of strappy stilettos and girly skirts.  But this time, I’m truly and honestly loving this look.  So much so that I’ve been wearing it for days, and I still don’t want to change.  Now I just need to find some good ass to kick….

So, I was at this Valentine’s party last night and there was this guy…. mmmm… He was cute, and funny and sexy and… HAWT!  We talked, we drank, we flirted, we kissed, we groped, and we may have ended up in his bed… Ok, we did end up in his bed (shut up, don’t judge), and here I am the next morning, desperately trying to get dressed and sneak out of here before he wakes up.

Shit, shit, shit — where are my panties?  I’m crawling around on the floor but they’re nowhere to be found — did he steal them? Fine, I’ll go commando then. I find my stay-up stockings in a shocking state; ripped to shreds! Never mind, they’ll do for now.  My bra decorates the bedpost, and a crumpled-up piece of fabric on the floor turns out to be my little black dress, or what’s left of it.  It’s ripped and mangled and I suddenly remember, with a heated blush, exactly how it got to be that way (and no, I’m not telling you, perv).  All rigth, so far so good — or is it? I’ll get arrested or propositioned if I go out like this. Hmmm…. Oh I know, his white shirt should cover me up nicely; I’m so stealing it.  Ok, just my boots now; where are they?  WTF? Under his pillow? *extracts them ever so carefully*

I do a quick check in the mirror and flinch at the sight of my haystack hair and racoon eyes; lovely.  No, please no! Tell me that is not a hickey?!?! I’m gonna kill him.

It’s time for my walk of shame. Before I go, I sneak a little look at  lover boy, awwwww, he’s kinda cute when he sleeps.

I’m feeling really casual today, so I went with a simple day-time look.  I found this tailored jacket at Argrace ; the striped turtle neck sweater actually comes as an extra option with it (there’s also a white shirt option) and I loved it!  I paired it with pair of favourite jeans and then added large hoops and the sexy zipper boots to add just a tiny bit of edge.

A slightly geeky cruise look for today.  I had to search high and low for the denim shirt until a friend told me about this one here from Gabriel (which is a new-to-me store) and it was perfect. I layered the shirt with a white undershirt (because I love my layers) and then paired it with  a shorts-and-long-socks combo.  I kept my accessories in brown, with the all important geek shades in a lovely tortoise shell texture.

I loved this little tweed jacket from AOHARU as soon as I saw it blogged on the feeds, and then COCO released the white bow blouse and I knew I had my combo.  I wanted chic, but not too much, so I dressed the look down with skinny, ripped jeans and knee-high suede boots.  I finished with some red accents in the bag, earrings, lips and nails to make it a little more interesting.

I got this very elegant feathered skirt from COCO, which at first I tried styling in a classical way. But I just wasn’t feeling it, so I did a 180 and decided to dirty it down.  Hence this feathers and plaid combo!

The moment I clapped my eyes on these knee-high boots from COCO I just needed them! And they are made of AWESOME! As they are flat-heeled I opted for a relaxed and flirty look, with a plain, black mini skirt and cardigan, balanced out with a touch of glam in the sequined top and the heavy-duty jewellery.  Truth’s latest braids finished things off beautifully
