vintage rider

 yay it is wednesday but really today is my thursday! my schedule is set at work and i get friday's & saturdays off, yippee!! this is the first time in a year & half that the mister and i will have both days off together! we are both so happy :)

today is another bike chic outfit! i will have a bike chic tip for you riding ladies next week, a one good  to help get your bike to working order!


anywho...this is an outfit i wore to work. i love that i get to be bit more casual! this is the 3rd only long skirt i own and i can't tell you how much i LOVE this skirt! i bought it when i lived in sf and i am always on the look out for more of these. i have come across a bunch but they are always just a tad too small..bummer! this one fits perfect!


this skirt is so perfect for riding because of the length, plus i feel so retro and a bit like a mexican pin up poster from 50's that i just love! the pattern on this skirt is so cool, another item of clothing i wish i could duplicate!!


damn this weather! it has been so windy at moments when i stop at a red light i can't get back on my bike because the winding is blowing me over!! so crazy! i can't wait to NOT wear a scarf while riding!!

    cute outfit! i really want that skirt for myself! whenever i ride my bike i always throw on shorts...but you really know how to dress well even while riding a bike...I guess you really cannot sacrifice style for transportation. :)

    Don't let the wind win! Ha ha! I lurve that skirt so much! If I could ride a bike (drat my bad spine)...and was near you...I'd totally be a riding buddy...instead you must peddle for the both of us! Hearts, Janna Lynn

    loving the pattern on your skirt. That wind sounds gnarly. Hope it starts to ease up a bit so you can ride sans scarf :)

    Oh that skirt is fabulous!
    I'm not liking the wind down here either! It's too...windy! I need more hair hands to keep my hair in order while I walk.

    Hahaha, that quote from you is GOLDEN: " i feel so retro and a bit like a mexican pin up poster from 50's" *lol* The best way of describing how someone feels ever!

    That skirt is fantastic!! I'm going to start biking to work too if the weather ever gets nicer!!! I always wonder if I will ruin my clothes on the ride or if I should wear something different to bike and change at work. Looking forward to the tips! :)
