Toozday Trouser Edition

Follow my blog with bloglovin
  The
      Trouser
                Pant.
A garment thoroughly bridging the gender gap.
Although it has been a consistent staple in a man's wardrobe,
the trouser pant has surely seen a more speckled walk-in walk-out relationship with a woman's closet.
However, trousers are back, and adamently reinstating themselves as an essential for the feminine side.

Hey Charlie, I feel a breeze down there and it sure feels nice! Quite the refreshing alternative to the skinny jeans that cling to my gams like leeches from a deceivingly harmless lake.
And now for a few trouser finds on Etsy...

Dear T. Rouser Pant,
      How you lend a polished hand to the ensemble without demanding an ounce of effort in return. You are the X baby master of love. Meet me under the mango tree. I'll bring the Jack.

Desaturated

Floral prints forever, but it's the dark florals that really get my blood flowing. Something about dainty flowers floating amidst a dark sea fills my jello brain with mystic seacrets... and compels me to shout out Au Contraire! In hardly appropriate situations, of course. Found this dress at a neighbor's yard sale yesteryay and can comfortably say that I could wear it for the rest of my days. It's been quite enjoyable sitting in this dress and burying my soul in the Grandes Dames du Cinema book I'd scored at the flea market. It's in French, but what better excuse to brush up on the ol francaise? Note: Getting books in another language that I have a great interest in reading makes it very easy to get motivated on learning the language. Ingrid Bergman is really wonderful.

It's nice to imagine that these ladies just wore black and white (plus varying shades in between).
It's nice to imagine that they had gray skin.

The Flea Circus

A day at the Albuquerque flea market never fails to please. In the unlikely case that nothing peaks my interest at anyone's booth, I know I'll at least be coming home with a plastic bag filled with roasted green chile from one of the chile stands. The smell of these things permeate the entire market, it's wonderfully intoxicating.
As the day played out, we ended up finding much more than chiles. A good day at the gold mine you might say...
Jordan found these.
That album in the middle is Hall of the Mountain Grill - Hawkwind (featuring Lemmy from Motorhead).
They're supreme.

These beauts will be up on my Etsy (http://www.knifesauce.etsy.com/),
unless I selfishly decide to keep them to myself.


Across the street from the flea market we see this. A GARGANTUAN statue of Paul Bunyan, perched atop a Vietnamese restaurant. I love Albuquerque. Speaking of Bunyan, after a day of walking around in my stiff as a board Doc Martens, I was left with Paul bunion blister fucks all over my feet. I wouldn't be so patient if I didn't love the red devils.

And finally, the newest on the Etsy...
