ERMHAGERD SKERLS & ARNTZ!!

Today was my Friday so I pulled out all the stops and wore my funnest dress and fabuloustest shoes - together.



Dress: Charlotte Taylor (last worn here)
Shoes: Alexander McQueen

There is an English language school in my building and there are a lot of students there from Saudi Arabia. I usually get weird looks from them but this outfit really confused them. HA!



See, it's purty.



SKERLS!  This picture doesn't really show the proper colour of these shoes. They are quite bright red.  I got these off eBay last year and I love them to bits!



















Mary Walker Designs bestowed upon me a Liebster award. The Liebster award is given to upcoming bloggers who have 200 followers or less. The meaning of Liebster in German is sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing and welcome.

The rules for the award:
1. Each person must post 11 things about themselves
2. Answer the question the tagger set for you plus create 11 questions for the people you've tagged to answer.
3. Choose 11 people and link them in your post.
4. Go to their page and tell them.
5. No tag backs.


Here are my answers to her questions:

1. When are you most alert morning or night?

 Morning. I tend to start to tune out around 3pm.

2. What is you favorite food?

 I've thought about this for a while and nothing comes immediately to mind. Maybe olives?

3. Do you prefer to be inside or outside?

 Inside. That's where the TV is.

4. What color makes you smile?

Red. Definitely red.

5. Do you like your name?

It's ok but no one can pronounce it properly. I pronounce it MEEE-gan. Most other people with my name are MAY-gan or MEG-an. And when I tell people my name sometimes they think I'm saying "ME-kin". WHA?

6. Would you consider yourself as a quiet, calm person or an active person?

 Calm and quiet.

7. Would you rather be by yourself or with lots of other people?

By myself. I'm pretty reclusive.

8. Do you find it hard to answer personal questions?

Nope. Ask me whatever you want.


9. What do you do when you get angry?

I cry!

10. What do you do when you are happy?

Act goofy.

11. Who are you most likely to trust?

My cat Dougal.  *haha*

I'm not going to tag anyone but if you're interested, you can answer the same questions.

  1. This post is definitely why you're one of my favorite bloggers. I love the combo of the dress and shoes. I sometimes like pairing "predator and prey" looks, but this is just that extra note of fun and funky.

    I really like the answers to your questions. I could have answered them all just about the same. Only I'm a "MAY-gan", which people here in the South never get right saying "MEG-an"... One of the things I loved about my husband and his whole family is they already said "May-gan" without correction.

  2. Oh, how cool! I love the shoes! I want them, I want them! I got a kick out of your post title, hee hee.

    I didn't know you were a Mee-gan, groovy.

    I love answering quizzes:

    1. When are you most alert morning or night?
    - night. I'm a total night owl. I wish I could sleep in until noon every day and go to bed at 3am.

    2. What is you favorite food?
    - dark chocolate.

    3. Do you prefer to be inside or outside?
    - inside. Outside is windy and cold, or burny and glarey. It also has bugs.

    4. What color makes you smile?
    - Yellow! But I love red a lot too.

    5. Do you like your name?
    - I do! It's a name everyone knows but not a lot of people have. They all spell it wrong though. Sheila not Shelia! I'm not "Shee-lee-ah," dammit. Shee-lah!

    6. Would you consider yourself as a quiet, calm person or an active person?
    - I'm a bit of a spaz, actually, and a drama queen, but I'm shy underneath that.

    7. Would you rather be by yourself or with lots of other people?
    - By myself. I like being around people, but I like to interact on my own terms.

    8. Do you find it hard to answer personal questions?
    - no, not at all.

    9. What do you do when you get angry?
    - I bury it deep inside me, where it comes out through nasty cracks, sarcasm and passive-aggressive behaviour. I've been working on this for many years, and I'm much better at understanding my reactions and I don't do this as much as I used to. L gets the brunt of it - he's a helluva guy for putting up with me.

    10. What do you do when you are happy?
    - I spread it around! I externalize it! Wee!

    11. Who are you most likely to trust?
    - my husband, a few very close friends.

  3. I am outrageously glad to know how to say all of my favourite bloggers' names now, yay! Happy weekend, MEE-gan - killer ensemble!
    - Amber

  4. Now I am glad to know how to pronounce your name properly. I didn't know there were alternative pronunciations of Megan, I think in the UK they are all Meg-ans. In my head, I will be saying it correctly now, cos you will be bothered about what goes on in my head, I'm sure...

    Anyway - great frock, fabulous quirky print, and MORE amazing shoes! xxxx

  5. It's great how totally unexpected your style is. I was expecting to see a plain pair of strappy sandles and what I got were skulls. How wild is that?

  6. I love the dress. Meegan like Tegan out of tegan and Sara. Which i actually pronounced Teg-an for about a year before I found out.

  7. GAH. I've coveted those sandals for ages! You lucky gal.

  8. I had no idea you pronounced it Mee-gan, it's good to know! It's not quite the same, but my husband's full name is Nathaniel, but people often call him Nathan - drives him insane.

    I love the ant dress so much. It's just too fun!!

  9. Love this post! ANTS! I've always thought they were quietly beautiful, but they just needed better marketing via this dress :)

    MEE-gan. Yay for pronouncing it right, even if it's just inside my head.

    Dougal. How cool a name is that for a cat?

  10. Dougal is an excellent Cat name. That dress is very Purty and the shoes, well, skull sandals are the coolest shoes ever!

  11. Those shoes are amazing! I never would have thought from the first couple of pictures that they were skulls until you showed the top view. Love!!
