It's Marvelous Monday, guys, so I went and put some clothes on. If you're new to Marvelous Monday, head here to learn more.
This week's theme: metallics!
The Three Laws of Robotics are:
- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
Metallics always make me think of robots and cheesy science fiction movies and TV shows. I painted my nails with a new chrome nail polish today ("No Place Like Chrome" from Essie), and they totally make me think of Cybermen from the 60s. I'm not even sorry.
I also brought metallics in with my bag, and my cool shark tooth necklace, and my headband. In case you couldn't tell. You're welcome.

Let's go see how the others styled their metallic looks! I'm sure they were stellar, and certainly infinitely less nerdy than me. Also, don't forget to congratulate L, who got married this weekend! Congrats, L!

Hey. I like your face!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was trying to get a shot of my earrings I liked, and that happened, and it somehow magically ended up here.
DeleteRose gooooooold, so pretty. I adore that bag & your necklace is so cute, never seen a rose gold shark tooth necklace before. And, of course, I love the dress, I mean its black and lacey, so to me its perfect. ;P
ReplyDeleteI like how you thought about the metallics, it definitely makes me think of cybermen & futuristic sci-fi worlds. But it also makes me think fo a kind of 60s/70s world of tomorrow view of the future, like how people thought there would be flying cars & robots everywhere. Almost a dated look at the future?
Yes! That's what it is, and that's what I love about it. I attach the oddest things to other things in my mind (like the time I fell in love with a bag because it made me think of a Creamsicle, which I don't even like that much) and it just makes fashion that much more fun for me.
DeleteAnd I love this dress. I haven't worn it much lately, as the lining doesn't breathe very well and it doesn't feel particularly nice in heatwaves like this, but I might just throw my cares aside and wear it anyway!
I'm the same I buy things because they remind me of something and no one else gets it, but I still give special meaning to a lot of items I own. :)
DeleteSuper cute outfit and oh man do I love that bag! Before I seen the pictures, I was totally expecting you to be totally full blow metallic based on your into. Lol, but I do like this look very much.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI was actually really disappointed that I didn't have shiny clothes. I feel like I have misled you with my Isaac Asimov and cheesy sci-fi adoration. Haha.
Cute outfit! Your dress is lovely, and I really like your metallic accessories. The purse is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's been described as the "holy grail of bags," and I am quite inclined to agree.
DeleteYour dress is so pretty and I adore the shark tooth necklace, makes me think that i should wear mine but I like your more because its like a rose gold. Mine's an actual shark tooth I got at a fair. But yeah I would love to see your nails, I've been wanting to try to chrome kind of polish but not sure which one.

btw i was trying to go to the website for your giveaway but for some reason the firmoo website doesn't load. Just letting you know. I don't know if it's my computer or the website is just down right now.
Thank you! Honestly, for all my love of copper/rose gold, I actually got it because it's a shark tooth. I have a real shark tooth necklace as well, but I don't wear it quite as often. I'm honestly a sucker for anything shark-related, as they're my favourite animal.
DeleteI'll be sure to put up a picture of my nails before I take the polish off. :)
And finally, I checked the links on that post, and while one of the projects loads quite slowly for me, it did open. Hmm. Let me know if you're having any more trouble?
