The Warmest Knit Sweater I Own

My goal for today was to keep warm because it feels like I'm living in the arctic circle lately. This sweater did the trick. I ended up with a green v-neck under it, though, to make things less itchy.


Kind of boring. But I'm a big fan of fair isle.



I hate boots with wedge heels, but these are the warmest boots I own! Why do I own them? I was 17 when I got them... Tastes change.

I do love pom poms, though.

What is this face? I've never seen myself make this face...

Red Riding Hoodie

Whoa, second post in a row with me in a hoodie. I'm way cranky and have had an awful day thus far, so I'll skip the pleasantries and just show you what I'm covering my skin with today.


My boots are a size 40. I am a sasquatch. Oh, and this dress is organic cotton. Eee!

Yep, I told you I was cranky.

This hoodie has these weird side flaps on the hood...

Oh bubble hems, I don't care what they say about you, I like you.

Wild Winter

It snowed like crazy again today. No fun. But today I wore a bunch of old things all layered up to keep warm and dry. I need to change my shoes before I go out.

And hey, check out the red velvet cupcakes I made too (at the end).


It irritates me to no end that these curtains don't match. My grandmother doesn't understand. She thinks they match. Sigh.



Hamming it up. What a geek.



All up close.

Tastyyyyy!

Wallpaper Dress

Normally I avoid dresses that go below my knees because they make my legs look short, but something about this dress... I like it a lot. Probably because it looks like wallpaper.

Yesterday I went for breakfast with my boyfriend, worked, and had my friends Nicole and Barbara over. We decided we want to move to Hawaii. I am seriously considering it. Pros/cons, anyone? Today I worked and shopped and now I'm about to go bake some red velvet cupcakes. Enjoy!


I wouldn't have DARED to wear this dress last week, I was so bloated. TMI, I know, sorry.

Notice how my hair keeps changing...







I bought this bag today for 70% off. Studly.

This got a little goth-y.

I've photographed this Marc Jacobs monocle necklace before, but it's worth photographing again.

And what's an outfit post without shoes!?

Right, oh, and I was tagged. Thanks to Sam!! Her blog is seriously one of my favorites.
1. Go to the fourth folder in your computer where you store your pictures
2. Pick the fourth picture in that folder
3. Explain the picture
4. Tag four people to do the same


This is a picture of my first car, taken very shortly before I got rid of it. It was a 1992 Chrysler New Yorker, and as you can see, it was in rough shape. The headlight cover is missing from an accident I had when some old lady cut me off. Regardless, I still miss that car!

I would like to tag (sorry if you've already done this!):

Merily from Sequin Magazine
Hannah from Cheetos Are Orange
Jaleh from fashionadaption

Uncool As It May Be

Uncool as it may be, I'm really into Hanna Beth's style. Granted, she she doesn't do anything and the only place anyone knows who she is is on Buzznet... Really, I got every single one of these pictures from just searching her name on Buzznet. And granted she's younger than me and mostly probably styled for shoots, but I guess I just love everything she puts on... And it wouldn't be so bad to look like her, either.

Another wonderful inspiration post ahead... Anyone else a fan? What do you think of her?

Big Bang Baby

I've already worn both of these things recently (here & here). This skirt is my new lover, I swear it. So I wanted to wear these cute little shoes I've never worn, but didn't think black tights would be good enough, so I raided my drawer full of tights and found these pretty white lace tights that I didn't know I had and they turned out to be just what I needed. My bag makes me giddy, too. I love structured bags.


It's a little hard to see, but the pattern on these tights is quite pretty.





I moved closer so you could see the ruffles...






Top: Tello's (actually a dress)

Live Without Warning

Yesterday after my post, I went for lunch with my boyfriend, did a little thrifting, and spent the evening with my friends Nicole, Meagan and Justine. We made rainbow cake according to this blog's instructions and went to Friendly's and so on. Today I worked (for once...) and now I'm off to the movies to see Milk with the boyfriend.


It's a shame you can barely make out the detail and bow on my blouse.

I kind of look like an ass. Don't ask what my hair is up to, I don't know either.

Pinkish.

I'm a space cadet.
