Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

So, it wasn’t an intentional inspiration, but as I was looking at myself in my outfit (especially once I donned my sunglasses) I was struck with the feeling that I was directly channeling Peter Seller’s character Dr. Strangelove from the eponymous movie.

Maybe it’s a stretch, but between the grinning skulls, the noir pallet and those round sunglasses, I can see the resemblance. But I digress…

I will never deny my love for skulls or the color black (it’s my last name), and I know both things tend to infiltrate my outfits, but when I saw this skull dotted shirt I knew it was destined for the blog.

I know the great leggings debate has divided our country, but my personal beliefs are, if your top covers your V&A, then you can wear them as pants. And, if I’m choosing any pant/leggings to strut around in, they’ve got to be the smoothing, slimming Hold Your Haunches leggings. I’m a totally believer in loving your body (including all your lumps and bumps), but sometimes I want to tone down my vajiggle-jaggle a bit when I’m traipsing around town. (Also, they’re super comfy.)

How’s that for a fashion bomb?
