on drugs at the dentist

So listen; I've had a special place in my heart for Thakoon ever since his Resort 2009 collection with the sheer little knee highs and sparkly skirt skort.
This place in my heart grew 10-fold upon seeing this look from the Fall 2009 collection:

YELLOW FUR

is this real life?

Speaking of Resort 2009 (see: a few posts below) MY FAVOURITE COLLECTION HAS BEEN THAKOON. Sorry for the caps but it had to be stressed (and I love to format).


LOOK. LOOK AT THAT. Look at the weird petal-y metallic skirt with the peach floaty top and look at that strange floral print skirt and look at that great mesh-y black sweatshirt. And, ok, most of all, look at the sheer nylon knee-highs. This must be said: I covet this look.

So last week, on a day off, I ventured to The Bay (lovely Canadian department store) and picked some up. They aren't quite as sheer but they do the trick. See:

just fyi: I'm REEEELY tall (5'10 like Cindy Crawford. Actually, 5'9.) so it's hard to get my whole self in a shot. See how I have to slouch? I bet you're sad you're missing the bow atop my ponytail. I am. Also, sorry for the sick outfit.

Also acquired on my shopping trip: white stockings. EVER since Betsey Johnson Fall 2007 RTW (ie: since Spring 2007) I have been DYING to rock white tights with white shoes and finally FOUND some opaque-ish white tights by Calvin Klein. Next purchase: white Keds.

How amazing is that last look amirite or amirite?
