I mean, I've been a pretty darn good girl this year.

ModCloth Dove at First Sight romper.  Gap blouse.
Prince of Thieves leggings.  ModCloth Kiltie as Charged boot.

Hi.  
It's December.
I want it to snow.
(it's not going to any time soon.)
I'm trying to patiently wait for Christmas.
Although there's still lots to do until then.
(more shopping, a Christmas tree?)
But besides that, I'm ready.
ha.

Hmmm, anything else on my brain?
Nope,  that's about all I can muster right now.

Happy mid-week, everyone.

Slouchy

kenzie cardigan. Shirt and necklace: Anthro.  J.Crew pant.
Nine West boots.

Mmm hmmm.  I love slouchy pants.  They make an outfit feel relaxed, but not so relaxed that it looks like you forgot to change out of your jammy bottoms.
Oh yeah and they're comfy.

If It Were Up To Me...

...I wouldn't leave my house today.  I'd take my leggings and oversized shirts and plant myself in front of the fire with magazines and a pot of tea. 

But alas, it is Wednesday, not Sunday.

Luckily this ensemble doubles as a dance outfit (just remove the jewelry and some layers), so at least I don't have to change before making my way to the dance studio.
Score one for me.

American Eagle purple striped shirt.  H&M black striped shirt.
Lululemon leggings.  Sweater vest: Target.  Boots: ModCloth.

Monday's Mix: Mixed Florals

Tuesday's blouse.                             Friday's heels.
   Sunday's dress.

That's right friends.  I did it-
This blouse.  That dress.  And I made it work.

Well, at least I think I did.
And fashion's all about confidence, right?

True, it's a little bit of a crazy outfit.  But I've been feeling a bit crazy myself lately.
Perfect.







Alright, all separates taken from last week, and we have a brand new outfit for today's......

Retro Flair

Vintage dress.  ModCloth necklace and Kiltie as Charged boot.
Hue tights.

Ok honestly, I'm not sure if this dress really qualifies as vintage.  And here's the story behind it:  

This dress was found some years ago at a little shop not too far from my house.  They don't usually have vintage or handmade items (the tag inside says "handmade for you"), and I didn't think to ask the story behind the garment.  I mean, the print was retro and awesome, I loved the shape of it, and it was an amazing deal.  So I brought it home with me.

The only downside... the fabric is this nasty, stiff, polyester stuff.  It's pretty gross to touch, but I power through it anyway.  All in the name of fashion, right?

Rusty Plum

Frenchi sweater.  Collective Concepts dress via ModCloth.
ModCloth Kiltie as Charged boot.  Vivi Dot hair pins.  Tights: Target.

Ha.  Finally, I made myself post again this week.  It was kinda like pulling teeth though.  And my own teeth at that.  gross.
  
Don't know if it's the mood I'm in or what, but taking pictures of what I'm wearing has just been a big ordeal for me the past few days.  Other bloggers out there, does this happen to you too?  And what do you do to inspire and motivate your lovely selves?  

You'd think my new shoes would be enough motivation to post more.  I mean, I guess it's helped a bit.
They have been the inspiration for my last two outfits.  Ok, three.  But sorry, I didn't take a picture of the third one.
So those of you who saw it in real live just are that much more cool.  You're welcome.

Monday's Mix: Ha! Not Plaid!

Ok friends.  Even I had doubts about sticking to no plaid for today's Monday mix.  
I mean, for goodness sake, every top I wore last week was plaid.  And I'm not about to create some sort of topless Monday Mix.  ewwww.

But, ah- ha!  Remember how I layered a striped shirt under Wednesday's plaid?  
No? you don't?  
What? you're not paying attention to every single detail of my outfits?
How dare you.

Well, no matter.  I remembered.  Luckily.


Wednesday's striped shirt and booties.      Friday's pants.  





and here we go... these separates mixed from last week's post is today's:

Happy new week everyone!
