So, while I’m not exactly thrilled about my 15+ pound weight gain in the last year, I’ve moved past the denial phase – you can only say, “This month I’m going to do it!” so many times before it loses all enthusiasm. It’s time to focus on a more attainable task – replenishing my wardrobe with clothes less likely to cause MP or any other circulatory condition. Aside from denim, which I did immediate damage control on, my skirt section was hit the hardest. Composed mostly of minis or pin-up pencils, I was left with very little wiggle room. On the hunt for something with the same mod rockability and more stretch, I found a colorful skull-clad gem by Lucky 13. Sans skeleton, it would easily make up for my lost essentials. But I’m always one for less sensibility and an extra ounce of audacity, anyway. My one gripe is that, although normally an online-only shopper, packing on a few pounds has made me a bit unsure of my actual size. Free exchange policy, anyone? Please? No?

Ever since I ascended into my tween years, I haven’t really been a fan of the color pink. In contrast, I do exhibit most of the girly girl stereotypes – loving lipsticks and liners, living for shopping, and willingness to die for the perfect pair of shoes. I just couldn’t seem to separate pink from prissy. But this tattooed duo from Rock Rebel has put pink back on the color charts. These glitter bombs add the perfect punch to any outfit. Sass up cocktail attire or blow the boring out of your everyday denim. Struggling to resist the sparkly vegan vinyl of the Winged Rose Headband and matching True Love Wrist Clutch, I’m finding them less out of place and more in good tatse. Despite Katy Perry’s words of wisdom, I’m suddenly and unexpectedly all for this glittery get-up.

Would still make an adorable accent to any flat. But a zipper lined, black patent vegan one is truly a rare flower. I’m not normally into girlie girl style or it’s trademarks of pinks, florals, ruffles, and such. But this unique pair from Vegan Chic has definitely grown it’s way into my heart. I think it’s the zipper detailing that adds just the right amount of draw I need to deem it wear-worthy. Too bad there’s no possible way that my little size 6 foot can pull off the only pair of 8’s they have left.
