When I was in college I had a pair of bell bottoms I wore ALL THE TIME. Until I sat in paint then I wore them less but still pretty often. I have been looking for a good pair the last 10 plus years. It is hard when you are short. If you get regular ones and hem them then the bells don't flair the right amount and they don't break on your leg in the right way. Also petite REASONABLE priced bells are impossible to find. These are full length ones that I have faked hemmed 5 inches but they seemed to break still in a good spot. I have those hem clips on them until I can decide how long I want to hem them. I am thinking with about a 3 inch heels. I just am not totally crazy about bells with flats on my body type at least. But I also don't want to stick myself with always having to wear huge heels. They are from Gap. They are on the sale rack right now. The only thing I will warn is they stretch like crazy. These are 8/29s and I could of done a 28 or maybe a 27 (wishful thinking?) I think. One day wear and they were at least a size or two larger. So keep that in mind if you want to pick up a pair. Ideally I want them to be tighter in the thigh and huge bells below the knee. I like them to be a bit on the ridiculous side. I realized you couldn't see my feet after I took these so I snuck a silly video. I set the camera up and ran down the left side aisle and hopped no one heard me. (the pants are NOISY!)
I hear it was a good year.
In an effort to try new things. I am wearing bronzer! I am still not fan of it straight up on my skin in particular but this I mixed with pink and I like it.
Yesterday was Star Wars day. May the 4th be with you. *insert knee slap* Honestly for a very long time I was embarrassed to have been named after it. I thought it was cheesy. Then I got the hell over myself and learned how much I love some sci-fi. Now I like telling people to see the confused face as they do the math in their heads to see if I am lying. Yup it came out in 1977. I was born in 1988. urp. subtract 10. (shut up)
Dave and I have become the biggest Doctor Who fans. I was a 4th dr fan as a kid with my dad (who wasn't though?) Then with the new series I really like Matt Smith (11th) but David Tennat (10th) will always be my fave. I just love him. I told my friend Steve he reminded me of him and he didn't appreciate it. I thought it was the ultimate compliment. Tennant is my kinda man. Insanely smart, funny, quirky, cute, BRITISH I mean come ON! Also him and Rose and the current with Amy are my fave duos. I think they are most fans aren't they? I am still not big into sci-fi I am working into it slowly. Warehouse 13 is another fave.
Are you a sci fi fan? Recommend something? Favorite Doctor?
Do you have comcast cable and an iphone (how very specific right?)When we were in NYC last weekend we realized we'd be getting in at 12 and missing that weeks Who. We didn't set the DVR but we hadn't turned it off. If you get the comcast app on your iphone you can change the channel ANYWHERE so you just have to rewind the DVR when you get home (we JUST made it. The DVR is 3 hours so we rewound just in time to start the 9 pm Who episode that was on Saturday night.

Here's a confession for you - every time I see you post an outfit with this blue jacket all I can think of is ways I wish I could steal it from you. I've been on a constant lookout - todays shopping trip included (though I do finally have a pair of red shoes! :D )

I absolutely love that shade of blue on you.

Never got into Dr. Who, but am a long-time Star Wars fan.

I've actually been in a bit of a rut trying to style the flares as my body type is slightly challenging to dress in pants (I wear dresses regularly), but you certainly can't go wrong with a tailored jacket!
Thanks for this post!

hubby got me into watching (it officially fell in love at the Weeping Angels episode) and now im addicted.
David Tennant it my original Doctor, so he will probably always be my favorite. and Martha Jones was my favorite companion for him. hubbys favorite is Tom Baker.
i didnt like Matt Smith at first, but i LOVE the relationship between him, Amy, Rory, and River Song. im not sure i would like him as much on his own, but i love all of them together.
thanks to hubby, i am also learning all the necessary comic info (DC Comics and Marvel). and thanks to BBC America, i am also addicted to the show Being Human. (but only the BBC version. the american version is awful.)

And here's the USB port! It makes noises! http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-TARDIS-USB-Hub/dp/B0040I7J6G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1304651022&sr=1-3-catcorr
Sorry to be spammy looking with links. I promise they're as cool as you can imagine!
I adore scifi (and fantasy!). I'm currently watching a Stargate SG-1 marathon on Syfy. Sherlock BBC! Seriously, if you haven't seen it - go now. Not sci-fi but definitely awesomesauce. Season 2 should be coming out soonish. Oh and the main actor (Benedict Cumberbatch) was offered to work on Dr.Who, but didn't.
As for sci-fi to try, Star Trek 2009 and Next Gen can usually get people into it. The Original Series is a little lol cheesy imo. Stargate SG-1 is my favored of the series, but watch the original movie first. The series is set right after those events so it helps build the ground work. The series is also 10 seasons @_@! I've heard good things about Firefly but haven't seen it myself. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy! Both the movie and the books are remarkably awesome. I could probably go on, but maybe some of that will appeal to you.
Gotta say though that Matt is pretty awesome as the Doctor. I was surprised! I didn't think he had it in him! I miss David but at least I'm not bored with Matt. My favorite companion by far is Donna Noble. Oh no one compares to Donna!

We're huuuuuuuge Doctor Who fans! We even have a TARDIS (ok, a small USB port version) in our living room. I dig Matt Smith, but Tennant is MY doctor. Though, really-who doesn't love Tom Baker? I've been a lifelong Star Wars fan, but Star Trek appeals more. Star Trek: The Next Generation seriously was one of the coolest things ever. Oo, there's a movie version of "Hamlet" starring David Tennant and Patrick Stewart!
I grew up more on "fantasty" series being a child of the 90s with the whole Xena/Charmed/Highlander. So I'm trying to back track to pick up the Sci-fi stuff.

Love your blue jacket...I also am short and have to have everything hemmed and flare jeans are such a pain!!
Recommendation--cheesy but fun for a sci fi fan, I loved the movie Paul about the alien with Simon Pegg. It was so hilarious. I read a lot of Sci fi as well. If you are not familiar with Dan Simmons, his Hyperiorn and the Endymion books are amazing.
And wil Wheaton?! Nerd-out! I adore him.
