Pre-show prix fixe

Sunday evening...usually a time for winding down, maybe fighting a bit of the Monday Dreads as my friend Rosi calls 'em, folding the laundry finally, finishing the paper. Oh but not last night. I mustered a different kind of motivation from saturday morning yoga, and put on my Converse All Stars and headed out for some Death Cab for Cutie down at Rebel Rebel at Cockel Bay -- a bay I never knew existed til I had to find the club.

I met up with arguably the most passionate Death Cab fan this side of Seth Cohen from The OC, the lovely Stellaand we grabbed dinner at Black Bird Cafe and soon found ourselves in some pizza deja vu. Just a couple of weeks back we grabbed pizza and vino pre-Sleepy Jackson and now we were doing the same thing pre-Death Cab. Continuity can be good, so can friends who love to share a pizza with lotsa cheeze, mushrooms and onions. Rocket and parmesan for cleansing and a simple bottle of house white. Then onto the show, sold out, all the kids knew all the words and the new songs sounded great. But I was about to turn into a pumpkin before 11, so I grabbed a cab and back to Bondi I went.





But an important fashion footnote from my Sunday Bondi market outing with Michelle...will I or won't I succumb to wearing a one piece shorts combo this summer? Yikes. There was a whole slew of them at one stand and at first I thought these get ups are from another era that maybe doesn't need to be re-visited. And then I thought, wow that'd look cool my with pair of lime green Dr Scholls. Are these being sported in North America this summer or is this one of those Sydney fugly things?



And with that, I'm out.

TC,
You're on your own w/that outfit...not seeing them over here...but I do remember one on a Sex in City episode...at a BBQ?...which says plenty, I think! If anyone can pull it off, though, you can! (and i want pics if you succumb!)
xo,
lauren

Dude, call me crazy but I think they are kinda cut. I haven't seen this version around much but plenty of the short-sleeved or sleeveless types with buttons or snaps from the waist up. Go on girl, rock it.

That would be "cute" not "cut." Can't type today.

I feel like if I puttered in a garden or drank martinis at 4pm with a neighbor lady, this would be the outfit. In the meantime, it could be ok for the beach or something...you only live once and I'd keep it tame with a solid color instead of lollipop print or something. Goose, shall I pick one up for you at the market and we can match when you get here? Ann, you game, too? Big sunnies + Dr Scholls would be the bomb, pretty much.

LOL at SR's comment :-)I reckon they look real cute but then I don't follow fashion. Who cares and wear them! Kinda 50's hey.

I always encourage experimentation. It would be like a costume party all the time. I see them with high heels for a completely trashy look, but that is more indicative of my personal style.

I'm only in if there are crotch snaps. athiest crotch snaps.
