I Pity the [April] Fool, April 2019 Linkup

Last year, while corralling links for my 2014 road trip journal, I came across this April Fool's Mr T linkup from 2014.

One of the many Mr T images/things that I found in 2014.
Click here to see more! Totally worth it! 

For April 2019, instead of dressing like Mr T, let's reveal and linkup some foolish things that we've done in the past (or currently, you fool, you).
I certainly have a few, how about you?

What is it with the brown shoes, Anne? [only the Keds remain unsold -- yay]

Party Time!

I wore this outfit yesterday to help Larry celebrate his 65th birthday:

The vintage Todd Oldham jean jacket got many complements.
Read more about it here.
I got it eons ago at NYC's Canal Jeans (RIP).

I dressed from the shoes up:

These new-to-me Sanita Clogs came this way with multi-colored paint splotches, MAYBE on cork, or a cork-like texture. I snagged them on Poshmark at a steal of a price: $20 and they're hardly used!
From a quick look on Amazon (a slippery slope), new Sanitas go for $75-$140. Really. If you are a clog fanatic like me, Poshmark is a great place to find them. You can connect to my Poshmark closet over on the sidebar >>>>>>>>>>>>

Speaking of that Amazon search, I found trouble:

Trouble not available in my size. Perhaps a blessing.

We celebrated Larry at the BBQ chain Lucille's. I had Blackened Catfish, with sides of Mac and Cheese and BBQ Beans. Mostly, I ate the Mac and Cheese, which never does well as takeaway. One of the other guys had the largest serving of Gumbo I'd ever seen. The "bowl" was about 18" diameter and had a pint "mesa" of rice in the center!. It was Jumbo Gumbo!
It was great to meet up with Larry and friends, we "talked "of many things... of cabbages -- and kings...".

Sock It To Me!

(Ad) Six days with @sox_bond socks.
Sox Bond offered me a generous discount code for my purchase if I posted on IG.

I did that and am posting here as well! They're nice socks! I like them!

Here's the intel [copied from their website]:

They ARE soft and skew warm, due to the polyester. Good for winter!
Most were too long in the foot for my size 7-7.5 foot (which is always my problem with unisex socks). Not sure about shrinkage yet.

Here's how I wore them, over the last two weeks:

(Ad) Day One with @sox_bond socks. Charcoal heather and yellow stripe. Sox Bond offered me a generous discount code if I posted on IG. So far, so good, and look how well they go with my '92 vintage @fluevog Sandal Clogs! Then, the colors of the day (#COTDstyle) for Wednesday are: heather gray and pale yellow! Pale yellow in my Clog graphic and paisley shirt, light heather gray in my PANTIES! 😜#stylediary #iwillwearwhatilike #fluevog #vog_sandalclog Oh yeah, forgot to mention my matchy notebook from @redbubble

(Ad) Day Two with @sox_bond socks. Red dots on navy ground. Sox Bond offered me a generous discount code if I posted on IG. These replace a dear departed pair of Happy Socks that were the same colorway. The 80%cotton/15%polyester/5%spandex fabrication is very comfortable (wore yesterday's over tights and couldn't tell). Plus they're not too big, which was a concern with the unisex one-sizing paired with my size 7 feet. #sockgame Managed to play #cotdstyle The colors of the day for Thursday are: thick textures and kelly green! Chubby fake fur coat (people always want to pet it) and kelly green in my Ungaro harlequin top. #stylediary #iwillwearwhatilike #cotdstylechallenge
