Hey Man What In The Hell Do We Know? We Strike Out And Then We Strike Gold

Good new: I'm finally reunited with my Canon camera!  It was a very lonely two weeks, but we're finally back together!  Which means--YEA!--pictures again!  

I finally had the day off today, and after a horrible run, I decided to go check out the Toledo Museum of Art.  Now, one of the first things that drew me to it was that it was free (since I'm poor!), but I was also intrigued about the different type of art it might house.  I'm not exactly a connoisseur of art--I believe that you know instantly whether you like a piece of art or not.  I'm also not one to sit in front of a painting for hours, contemplating what the painter must have been thinking.  But I do enjoy walking around, seeing beautiful works of art; in particular I love Andy Warhol, Edgar Degas and Claude Monet.  Here are just a few shots from my visit today (and a few of past outfits)--Enjoy :)

Peace!



I want this clock so badly!



Claude Monet's Water Lilies--absolutely beautiful



This was the most unique piece of art I saw, but also the most creative!

Woman has a TV for a brain, but I love her dress and that she's carrying a cocktail! :)





SPARTANS--WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?


Proof that less isn't always more with jewelry!
 And now for some fashion!  I bought these pants a few months ago--as soon as I tried them on, I knew I had to have them.  They're super comfortable, and just a fun ikat pattern.  I'd been looking for a pair for awhile, but was being very picking about what I actually wanted to wear.  They're a little tricky to pull off, so I suggest keeping everything else you wear very simple.  I pair them with a plain white shirt and some gold sandals, just to had a little pop!  Even my boyfriend, who at first made fun of me for buying these, said they looked great--and that's a win in my book! :)

P.S. Yes, I'm a little kid who likes to play on the playground--got a problem with that? :p

One of my finds at Fort Wayne's Three Rivers Festival antique fair!  Gorgeous!





And now for today's outfit.  Remember these two outfits--two different options for wearing the same deep-slit skirt from Express?
From Give 'Em A Little Leg (June 7, 2012)

From Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made Of (March 17, 2012)


Well today I decided to wear it as a dress.  Further proof that you can get many uses out of just one item of clothing!  The slit is still a little high, so I was cautious not to "flash" anyone today, but I have to say-- love this skirt as a dress.
