October Catch-Up: Jax Teller, Name Plate Rings & an Undercut

It seems like the first few days of the month I completely drop off this blog –  especially this month as I've been housesitting for two weeks straight. Angelo and I finally made it home on Sunday, and our cats almost passed out from excitement. So here's another round up post to catch up with what I've been doing recently.

Wearing – I've been sticking to my Capsule Wardrobe, and have been itching to get rid of a ton of older stuff to make some space in my closet.  I talked Angelo into giving me an undercut – which we naturally dyed blue – so I have been keeping my outfits more on the simple side. I like the mixing of simple, classic closet staples with the bright blue undercut. Makes me feel like myself, not quite young, not quite old but still wanting to have some fun with my wardrobe.

One of my favorite outfits, EVER.

And introducing my new navy blue undercut - easy to hide at work.

 Watching –  We binge watched the first two seasons of Sons of Anarchy in a week, and are now making our way through the third. I absolutely LOVE Ron Perlman, so that's been great, but I've been struggling with my feelings towards Jax Teller. Half the time I hate him, half the time I love him. 100% of the time I think he's a babe. My absolute favorite character is Happy, even though he's a pretty much complete psychopath. If I was in a motorcycle gang, I would want him on my side. 

I'm only in season 3, so Jax is still relatively white-trash but I do not judge.

Listening –  My current favorite-d  tracks on 8tracks are as follows – Family of the Year, "Hero." Boyce Avenue, "Fast Car." Gin Whitmore, "Black Sheep." Emily Kinney, "Expired Lover." Taylor Swift, "Out of the Woods." Audra Mae & The Forest Rangers, "Forever Young." Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers, "John the Revelator." Richard Thompson, "Dad's Gonna Kill Me." The White Buffalo, "The House of the Rising Son." Clearly SOA has infiltrated my 8tracks activity.

 

This is my official "walking home from work in heels" song.

Planning – I've started to get pretty into planning our Christmas vacation to Seattle and Portland. I really want to get a tattoo, visit the Space Needle, stay in the Ace Hotel and visit the Oregon Coast Aquarium – where you can apparently shake "hands" with an octopus.

Buying – I took advantage of some Columbus Day Sales, and snagged a perfect dress from ASOS for more than 50% off it's original price. I have had my eye on it for a while, but when the sale price dropped a second time, I jumped on it. I also took advantage of Lo&Chlo's weekend sale, and ordered myself some nameplate rings and a little necklace. I absolutely love her stuff, and have a bracelet from her that is one of my favorites. When she released a coupon code for 30% off, I acted on it pretty quick.

Have you been busy this October? What are you up to? How do you feel about Jax Teller?
