The colors, man...

[shadesong]

I feel so weird this morning.

I'm not wearing any black.

I *always* wear black.

But today I am not.

Bone sandals (bone the color, not made of bones, but wouldn't that be weirdly cool?)
Long patchwork-print twist skirt in shades of cornflower blue, lavender, pale sea green, and dove grey
Lavender half-sleeve stretchy shirt with a little cleavage notch
Silvery AriEarrings
Hair in stealth pigtails

And you?

You sound yummy!

You go/went to Rice? stronae went to Rice...

Re: Henry Rollins voice over

[alfheimr.livejournal.com]

I work at Rice. I love it here. On days when the wanderlust doesn't pervade my being I want to stay here forever.

I didn't know you worked at a university! That makes, um... *counting on fingers* one, two, three, many... Well, lots of us. yendi and settsimaksimin and kellinator and I, to start with...

[iroshi.livejournal.com]

Memememe! University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. All sorts of yummy medical students running around. LOTS of pretty ladies...*sigh*

Re: Henry Rollins voice over

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yum! Our students are not as eyecandyish; we just have a few pretty ones.

Re: Henry Rollins voice over

[deza.livejournal.com]

OK, so I work at a tech college instead of a university, it's still higher education... Sorta...

Re: Henry Rollins voice over

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

That counts! I knew I was forgetting people.

Re: Henry Rollins voice over

[gallowglass.livejournal.com]

I'm at a university, writing up a thesis though. Feels like very hard work sometimes. ;-)

[deza.livejournal.com]

Who are you, and what have you done with the real 'song?

I'm wearing glasses, a burgundy oversize top, jean shorts, white Keds (no socks), granny panties, and a stretch lace bra. Why coldn't you have done this yesterday, when I was sporting an ALA tattoo?

[gothwalk.livejournal.com]

Enh.

Green-combats-odd-socks-black-boots-black-tshirt-glasses-ponytail. The usual.

And my shoulders are so damn sore that I wish they were clothing, so I could take them off. Dunno what I did to them.

[yendi]

Blue and gray Structure shirt.
Beige pants.
My usual white New Balance shoes, with white socks.
Batman boxers.

[edie22.livejournal.com]

black slip on shoes, black jeans, grey panties, green tie-dyed dragon con shirt, white cotton bra, headphones, glasses.

I am also sick. I came back from Boston with "The Plague"

my own contribution

[dslartoo.livejournal.com]

Why do we all feel so compelled to respond to these? :)

Reading from the top, glasses (well, not when at the computer), elastic band for hair, white Gary Hoey "Hocus Pocus" T-shirt, watch, faded blue jeans, white athletic socks, white tennis shoes.

Hm. Seems to be a "white" day for me, just as you're having a "non-black" day.

cheers,
Phil

Because it makes shadesong happy? And we ALL want to make her happy? ^_-

[sogi.livejournal.com]

odd i usually wear black also. but i ALSO find myself not wearing black this morning. forces are aligning against us.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Very odd. We must wear all black tomorrow to counteract the effects of today...

Re:

[sogi.livejournal.com]

Go silver! I don't own any yellow gold. Don't like the stuff.

Re:

[iroshi.livejournal.com]

I don't mind it, but it makes my skin look sickly. Totally wrong colour for me.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

The only yellow gold I own is my garnet ring.. it was a 21st-birthday present from my parents. Everything else in the house is silver.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

My everyday jewelry:

Rings:

Silver claddagh
Set of two thin silver bands: the top one stamped with "make - express - accept - try", the other stamped with "peace - joy - magic - love", so as they turn on my finger they make nifty phrases
Silver Celtic knotwork band
Silver Celtic knotwork ring with oval malachite in the middle
Gold ring with big fat garnet

Bracelets (both silver cuffs):
Wide silver cuff from Until There's a Cure (www.until.org)
Slim silver cuff with "One Day at a Time" stamped on the inside

Necklace: silver heart-in-hand with the word "create" on a ball chain, choker-length.

[voltbang.livejournal.com]

At the renfaire I bought four three silver rings. One is clearly celtic knotwork, two are knotty. And my tattoo is celtic knotwork with tribal stuff.

I'm wearing all the black that you aren't wearing...

[bethynyc.livejournal.com]

What am I wearing today?

From feet up…

Black Doc Marten loafers from Ari via ebay
Black socks
Black jeans
Plain black v-neck shirt, short sleeves, fdrom Old Navy
Black velvet button shirt as jacket
purple cotton underwear
purple satin bra

Usual assortment of rings
Black cathedral bead 3-strand choker, vintage, from a flea market
Black teardrop AriEarrings, because I lost one of the black cathedral bead ones and need to commission a new pair.
Watch

MAC Crystal eyeshadow (light grey) on lid
Sephora black eyeliner over top lid lashline, sort of 60s style
MAC Underworld lipstick
MAC burgundy lip liner

I feel really good!

[voltbang.livejournal.com]

From the top.

My glasses. I need a second pair that I like. I need a first pair I like.
My silver round weave wedding chain
Dark blue short sleeve button down cotton shirt, with lighter bloe leaves and bone colored leaves around the sleeves and bottom of the shirt.
Chrome watch with blue face
silver pinkie ring
white gold wedding ring
Blue Jeans.
Black belt with celtic knotwork buckle Leatherman side-clip
blue stars boxers
white athletic socks
black side-zip combat boots

I left one thing out.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

What did you leave out?

My watch: Leather band, Eeyore face. I'm a big kid.

[voltbang.livejournal.com]

I answered that juestion in a friends only post in my journal. Anyone needs to know who isn't on my friends list, ask me and I'll let you in for a look.

[gallowglass.livejournal.com]

My glasses. I need a second pair that I like. I need a first pair I like.

I've managed to get a first pair I like (round frames, work better on my face than anything more angular), now I need a second pair, so I can use them in succession, just changing the lenses.

Ah, that reminds me. I'm way overdue for my 6-monthly eye exam. I'd better go and write that down...

[voltbang.livejournal.com]

I want to just get my eyes fixed. But it looks like not this year. So I should bite the bullet and replace this pair.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I've been getting frequent headaches again; I should probably get my eyes checked. *sigh* The slow descent into blindness...

[voltbang.livejournal.com]

I think my recent headaches are a result of overdoing it moving. I hpe they aren't glasses changes. That would preclude getting the eyes fixed. They haven't changed in years.

-5.5 right eye
-6.0 left eye

I don't recall the astigmitism numbers but they are low.

[tikimama.livejournal.com]

Bottom down:

silver hoop earrings
black chiffon scarf with pink palm tree embroidery around neck in jaunty style
pink tank top
black cardigan
black pencil skirt with slits
black cotton panties
black cotton bra
pink and black beaded platform flip-flops
wedding ring (rose gold Book of Durron pattern)
silver "vous et nul autre" ring
watch

[ariadnesthread.livejournal.com]

My version of boring-corp-wear. Or, as I call it, Bohemian Businesswear.

Black Birkenstock "Bali" sandals
No stockings/tights (business casual workplace is good for something)
Boring, functional underwear
Burgundy April Cornell dress with white polka dots
Timex watch (good watch isn't waterproof--it's raining)
Silver lemniscate (infinity sign) link bracelet I haven't taken off in over 4 years
Silver garnet/marcasite bracelet
Yellow gold college pinkie ring
Silver sort-of-filigree ring with oval faceted garnet
Silver necklace with single faceted oval garnet
Hair down, black plastic headband holding it back....the better to see my evil grey hairs, sigh.

And the best part, my newest toy--Silver raven ring with garnet cabochon (www.repiland.com). It's so purty. I should have bought a 1/2-size smaller so it fit my right ring finger (it was hella hot when I bought it), because it fits my left ring finger. I *never* wear rings there, till now. Sort of my "yeah, I'm a spinster, dammit" statement. Now I look like I'm wearing a wedding ring.

[nomadmwe.livejournal.com]

Right now... a bathrobe. What? I got up not too long ago... damn insomnia... ;)

After I soak my head, it looks like... bluejeans, undies, a pair of black (hah! There's my black for today!) sandles, dark green "Pennsic XXX" t-shirt, glasses depending on what I'm looking at, and a hairtie so I don't do my Jesus impression.

Tomorrow I shall wear more black to make up for this. :)

[rubrchick]

Grey strappy tank top that used to belong to my wifey and a bright orange sweatshirt I got from the dance show I worked a couple of months ago. No pants! Eeeee.
