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!!

  23. 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!

  24. 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! :)
