Drankin’ & Posin’

by Ashley on August 7, 2008

In my early 20s, I was a bit of a club ho: weekdays out drankin’ and posin’ until 3-4 a.m., rolling out of bed with smeared eyeshadow on to go to class, over-the-top outfits, and making out with DJs. It was a good life, one that treated me & my body fairly well, and I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t still be there today if I hadn’t moved.

Kingdom of Style sent me in to a mild regression the other day, when they featured these studded tights from Bebaroque. I love the sassy way they are paired with booties & a leotard– perfect for sweating away in a dance club, but technically not too revealing at all.

The studs going up the derriere provide the perfect defense against aggressive males, too.

This ain’t no Ashe Mischief style if there isn’t a feathery, shiny, glimmery bit attached to my head. Currently, I’m in love with the new ban.do shop. Each piece is one of a kind, imperfect but fantastic, and comes with it’s own haiku…

I can almost smell the Gin & Regret…

@jen – Thank you for your comment Jen! I’m always excited (and a bit stalking) when it comes to looking for new and great headpieces. The Ban.do ones are absolutely beautiful!

@gilda – Don’t do it! These pieces are certainly a pretty penny, especially if you can’t afford it– hell, I’ve spent a lot of my head gears, but never quite that much …

@Lena – Aren’t they hot?! Something about the leotard just makes them too great for words.

@diana – Diana, you’re so sweet! Thank you for the kind words.

And I feel you on falling for these tights! They’re so subtle and intense at the same time. I’m too scared to try a DIY project of making some, too.

There is a shop on etsy called the candy thief- with very cute felt headbands. I wasn’t that crazy about them from the photos, but I saw a girl on the street wearing one and I thought it looked awesome!
