A DUI for the DAY
It’s virtually impossible to not DUI (Dress Under the Influence) while living, working and walking the streets of Williamsburg. The street culture is rich and writhing in punk rock, goth, steampunk, jazz, geek-chic, grunge and even the vestiges of the electroclash era.
I’ll be running around BK today grabbing some groceries and later heading for a run around McCarren Park. Other than that: Quick fabric photo shoot of some Ghanaian textiles for Source4Style and dropping off my Beta Max tapes to convert to DVDs.
So I know some of you were asking if you could see this LBD “dress down” or “punk up.” Well here it is – short skirt, short hair, big glasses and all. Almost unrecognizable from yesterday I think! Wearing it as a petal skirt paired w/ a vintage PLASMATICS band tee circa 1984 that I scored from RetroEra back in August; vest from Buffalo Exchange; fingerless bow-tie gloves from Catbird; Model T handbag from recycled rubber – English Retreads; a ruffled duffle from the Ebay Green Team; “Kiss” thigh-highs from Stockingirl; red-seamed boots by Madden; and geek goggles by Urban Outfitters.

One of my fave Brooklyn bands that I first heard at Moto, which boasts live music every night: If the Sea Was Whiskey by Tin Pan.

Wow, what a change! Love, that you can dress the lbd down too. 🙂 You didn’t cut your hair for real, did you?

This month’s LBD is my absolute fav, and I may even buy this version for myself. I love how you’ve shown such a huge variety of what can be done with a little creativity and the right accessories.
On another note, I seem to be having problems with the site – I can’t navigate back to previous days (either with the calendar on the left or the Day Previous button below the current day’s look) – anyone else having these problems or is it just me?

I love your outfit today also! Amazing style!
To Rebekah: yes I do have the same problems as you, can’t navigate back to previous days…?

LOVE. The top-to-toe look is fab!
Rebekah: Not just you. I was trying to check today’s hair against yesterday’s hair but the only way to get from day-to-day is via the month view. Something’s a little off!

Cute, but–did you really cut your hair?!?!?!!! Such a radical style departure, I’m interested to see how it will go moving forward.

I have the problems with navigating through the site too. Phew, not just me then.
Sarah, that must be a wig or not?

Yes sorry about the site! I’m also having trouble and love to zoom back-and-forth between the days to see how different as well. I’m surprising myself. New stuff coming soon!
