Black for Batman

I wore an all black outfit to go see Batman: The Dark Knight. I have like 16 mosquito bites on my legs from the other day, but it was simply too hot today to wear pants..

The denisebrain theme-o-matic!

You know how I do monthly themes? Maybe you don't...If you read my blog I always mention my monthly themes, and you can also find the current month's theme at my web portal, denisebrain.com. I sometimes decide on a theme that becomes my vintage clothes sales strategy for the month (for July it is white clothing and accessories), other times it is more vague.

I've always kind of hated to see the themes go at the end of the month, so I've now got a handy dandy theme-o-matic which has favorites from the past couple of years.

Try it out here.

White, always cool for summer...Please visit My White Album (through the end of July) and keep checking my eBay listings all July for vintage clothing in shades of white.

Dance!

Inspiration from dance wear: leggings, arm warmers, wide/loose sweathers, cropped tops, hotpants, leotards (/body), layers, all the colors and so on and so on. Most photos were found at 'discount dance supply', a few are from 'energetiks dance wear' and zielladance.com.
