what i wore: spearmint

hello!
wow, i can't believe that it is december already! so little time and so many gifts to make! hope you are all ahead of the game and not like me waiting for the last minute!
this outfit i wore this last sunday to work. one of the great things about blogging is being inspired by others. katie from katie's pencil box did just that. my outfit was inspired by this amazing yet simple ensemble. i knew i had the right things in my closet to make it work. with such a small closet i can't go super crazy in the clothes department so one of my favorite things is to read blogs and get inspired by all the amazing creative people out there in hopes to rejuvenate my closet and get inspired without having to spend a bunch of cash.
plus since i ride my bike i want to feel cute and show others that spandex isn't what everyone should wear while on two wheels. i am also sporting my favorite papersparrow necklace that my sister-in-law bought me and as some of you might know i also have the narwhal pouch where i keep all my lipstick goodies :D
the day started off great but the moment i got off the train my back tire got a flat. i had no flat repair kit with me and the bike store on the way to work was closed on sunday, whats a girl to do!!! well i walked my ass to the closest bike shop after work and got everything fixed and now kiki is riding perfectly!

now to make a bike kit for myself!

    I love the colours!! Especially that shade of blue/mint! One of my favourites! You inspire me to finally take photos of an outfit post! I will have to get on that asap!

    Hehe, an update: I finished The Hunger Games today! It got really good once the games started! Now I have to wait to borrow the second book! Yay!

    You look lovely. You and your outfits inspire me! You definetly are a style idol for me I always feel lost with clothing and I love that with blogging I can take all the stuff I learn from other people and make it into a wardrobe for me.

    You look ravishing as always and your right people don't need to always wear spandex ;)

    you look adorbsballz. Seriously adorbsballz.

    So in answer to your question, Storm of Swords is kinda coming along slowly. I try to read at least one chapter a night but I feel like its a little slow this time around...

    flats are the worst, glad it's fixed. i'm always in a bind when it comes to pairing mint with another color..looks great with red!

    Bitchin' skirt! It goes great with the red. Love your bike as well. Wish I could take my bike out for a ride, but in Northern Colorado the weather is not cooperating as of late. My bike rack is still mounted on the back of the car however. (Thumbing my nose at winter.. daring it to stop snowing for a couple of days)

    Such a great colour combo - I wouldn't have thought spearmint green and red work - but they TOTALLY look amazing.
