Daily Threads: Fired Up


{Belk Winter White Cardigan (similar), Urban Outfitters Dress (similar), Steve Madden Inka Cognac Boots}

This is going up pretty late - my bad. I had a somewhat eventful day and didn't get to snap these photos as early as usual. Ah, c'est la vie! It was hard for me to pick a look today - this weather is really challenging me with my winter pieces. I definitely did not plan for the 70s; however, I feel like a snob talking badly about this gorgeous weather - so I'll stop.

In other news, there's been some drama going down in our little community. Last weekend, two little girls (middle school age), also known as the local pyros, set half of a near-by field on fire. We were pulling up to our place and we saw a huge (huge!) cloud of black smoke. I was scared to death - it appeared to be exactly where our unit is and panic set in. My baby girl was in the apartment (our dog, not a child)! Luckily, the flames were coming from a patch of grass behind our unit. We'd seen these little girls setting things on fire before. Right in front of our place... when we went out to talk to them, they took off. So we weren't surprised to to find out those two were behind these events. 

Tonight, as I was watching tv, I heard the faint sound of an alarm clock going off. A horribly miserable sound. So I muted the TV and realized the fire alarm in the building across the street was going off. Soon after, two fire trucks, an ambulance, and the fire chief were surrounding the building... Now I didn't stay outside and gawk long enough to figure out what the deal was (I was too tired and full from Moe's), but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being those two little girls. 

Kids....

  11. I never would have thought to wear the same color tights as my dress.

    It really works here.

    Doesn't it trip you out when you realize you're now the old lady shaking your heads at "the kids." I don't know when I got this old!

  18. First off, your outfit is HOT. Absolutely love the dress with the colored tights. You definitely make me realize how well belted cardigans can work with dresses (another thing on my list of things to try during this remix)!

    Secondly, what the heck are these kids doing with lighters?! Sounds like craziness if they set half a field on fire!

  26. I'm so glad it wasn't your unit, or anyone's for that matter. I hope they caught whoever was doing starting the fires.

    I love how the title for your post works with your outfit even without all the pyro tales! That dress is so pretty and as always you look amazing :)

  33. Just a thought that someone might want to check out the home life of those 2 girls. There has to be a reason they are setting fires. Maybe a cry out for attention?

    ReplyDelete
  34. That's crazy about the fires! I'm glad you guys and Maeby are okay.

    I also love this outfit, the dress looks great with the matching tights.

  36. oh my gosh, that is crazy! where are these kids parents?! scary :( hope everything was okay at your neighbors!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Scary! I agree with Archives.. where are the parents? If my boys ever did stuff like that they'd be off to boarding school (or somethin like that) in a hurry.

    Anyway - love the monochromatic look you've created with the tights.

  38. Love how this outfit manages to fit with your fire them somehow :)

    I'm glad nothing happened to you guys and I hope everybody in your community can feel safe again soon...

  39. Yikes! That's scary! In CA fires are no laughing matter - you could take out a whole city. :(

    I love your outfit though - nice & fiery.

    ReplyDelete
  40. OMG... aren't there like, police to reprimand these kids? In Japan, if you start a fire, your neighbors will like, force you to leave the apartment complex.

    Anyway.

    What a great outfit! I never thought pairing similar color dress with tights would go, but your outfit totally works! White cardigan, white necklace, beautiful. I see the 3 color rule here too!

    My favorite part about the dress - the slight V-neckline. Beautifulll outfit as always!

    PS. Before, I thought you were super bling bling and lived in a mansion or something cuz I always see such tall buildings in the background and a wide lawn! Anyway... haha.
