She/Shi Week - Red A-Go-Go!

This is my birthday week! My birthday is on Friday, and L and I are taking the day off to head down to Seattle for a day of shopping and generally wandering around and avoiding anything work-related.

It's also a week for me to celebrate - me! My birthday present to myself was buying a whole bunch of lovely Shi Studio designs when they had a big clearance a couple of weeks ago. They're a local studio and I love their designs, so I'm shamelessly pimping them. Please check them out and order a piece! Every item features a gorgeous piece of silk behind glass, and all leather is locally done as well.

Today's outfit was based around this glorious belt:
I picked up the top in a thrift store on Saturday ($12!), and the skirt is designer vintage from the 80s.

Check out the cool detail on the belt:

I love the texture of the leather - and the silk on the buckle (which is removeable) is red and purple. The buckle is worn off to the side (so I was informed by Cory, the owner and designer) like so:

The belt can also be worn slung lower on the top of my hips. The top is a fuscia pinky-purple with red dragons, by the way.

The stuff:

Rather than go with the expected grey or black shoes, I chose these mossy green ones. I like how they don't quite go...but they do!
