little facts {sexy style}

Dress- Gifted from ML; Blazer (worn like this)- BCBG Maxria (Thrifted); Boots-Aldo; Necklace- Smart Set

I'm linking up with Rebecca with an R  Little Facts which came at the perfect time because usually by Hump Day my brain is fried and frazzled so I need all the help I can get! Don't worry- I'm not going to get all Jenna Jamieson on you- but it just so happened that my three little facts are all on the sexy side this week (although did anyone see Glee last night-pretty scandalous for High School kids!) 

Photobucket


1) tantric tanning: in my first year of University, my roommate and I wanted some colour but we couldn't afford tanning at the nice salons so we found a sex shop that had $4 tanning in the back rooms. (And yes it was as sketchy as it sounds, the female shop owner was always hitting on us and the beds had burn marks -don't ask, don't tell!) Needless to say (and judging by my translucent skin, I haven't gone back- although there was the spray tanning addiction this summer but that's a story for another day!)

2) career contemplations: speaking of sex shops-I got a job at one after University but thought that an office job would be more appropriate on the resume so declined the offer (which I sometimes strangely regret).  Plus I'm not sure how my parents would feel about paying my way through school to then have me selling erotic whips.

3) lingerie love: now that I work for a lingerie boutique, my lingerie collection has doubled, heck even tripled.  I used to hang out in a ratty towel dress, now I lounge around in an adorable polka dotted silk romper.  Let's just say the man's not complaining!

  3. That tanning story made my skin crawl..just a little bit. And I think it's awesome you worked at a sex shop - you must have some great stories from that.

  4. You did have me nervous for a minute! I do have a friend who did sell erotic products through parties, and now has difficulty deciding whether or not to mention it when applying for jobs!

  11. These facts were awesome! Yeah, I don't know if I would want to work for a sex shop either. Although you may come across some interesting characters, lol!

    Love your whole outfit from head to toe! Heather

  13. How pretty are you?!?!? Love this whole outfit :)

  14. Hehehe! I don't know why (take it as a compliment), but I can totally see you working in a sex shop. It's probably better in the long run, though, that you didn't take it. Although it would have been tempting.

    I didn't even know you worked at a lingerie store. Where've I been? Huh! That sounds fun. Is it expensive? Is it local? I want to come visit you and buy a polka dot silk romper for myself.

    Also, I am becoming increasingly aware of bloggers who have the ability to ROCK a blazer, and you're one of them. I am not. I'm cleaning out my closet and putting all blazers in the giveaway pile. I just can't do it. But you can. Nioce.

  15. Cute outfit. I would have been to scared to go tanning there.

  16. This dress looks great on you. A friend of mine worked at an 'Adult Store' for a while. It was the classy kind though. Well lit, with lots of costumes for strippers, I can picture you working in THAT type of sex store ;)

  21. You are too funny!!! HAHAHA Loving the stories. The dress you're wearing is so beautiful. I love the print and jacket you're wearing with it. The dress reminds me of beautiful watercolors. Hope you're having a great day.

  23. What a beautiful dress and the blazer compliments it perfectly! Polka dot silk romper?!? I want one!

  24. Gorgeous outfit. And lounging around in actual lingerie sounds so wonderfully decadent. I'm jealous.

    I tried spray tanning a couple of times but I always panicked and took a deep breath right when the spray hit my face. So, my innerds were very tan, I think.

    xo,

  25. That dress is adorable! The greys are so pretty on you.

    I would have taken the job at the sex-shop. It's one of those jobs that I think builds character if you can hack it, then again, the lingerie job sounds awesome too. Selling frilly things has got to be so much fun.

    I used to tan as a kid, but once I hit that middle school goth phase, I never bothered again. Plus skin cancer is hereditary in my family and I'm terrified of it.

  26. haha #1 is killing me!!

    This is a very chic look, the thing that stands out/really makes these photos is how your hair and the fall leaves really contrast the monochromatic outfit. very eyecatching.

  27. hahaha, I love your sexy little facts - such a cute idea! and it's really cool you work at a lingerie shop - you def have the body for it!!!
    On the fashion side, I LOVE this outfit from head to toe!!! It might be one of my all time favorites of yours - the color looks great on you, loooove the boots, and the tights and blazer - ah! I love it all!!!
