Takeoutfit

Every time I wear this cardigan, I style it very similarly. I usually pair it with a neutral bottom and a top that echoes a color in the yarn.


Sweater, Takeout. Tee, Forever 21. Skirt, No Boundaries (thrifted). Boots, Matisse. Earrings, Monica D. Bag and leggings, Mossimo.

Pins-A-Lot

I had planned on piling on the necklaces today, but I couldn’t bear the weight of them around my neck. Instead, I wore seven brooches on my lapels.


Blazer, New York & Company. Vest, Cherokee. Skirt, Peyton Place (thrifted and shortened). Tights, We Love Colors. Boots, Nine West. Brooches, all thrifted except the owl who is borrowed from Tina.

All My New Things

I went shopping for a pair of practical boots on Saturday. I wanted a tall, flat, riding-style, leather boot in a cognac shade. However, the shelves at DSW were nearly bare. I ended up with a “fungi” color, instead. I’m not sure I love these, but they are practical and comfortable.


Sweater, Nordstrom Rack (I’ll look up the brand, later). Turtleneck, gloves, and skirt, Mossimo. Tights, Anne Klein. Boots, Matisse. Belt, thrifted. Bag, vintage. Scarf, Images (gift). Necklace, Zad.

I was also looking for a long sweater that I could wear as outerwear or a tunic. I think this one will do.


Lastly, I bought these tights on impulse. I’ve admired this color on other bloggers (like E), but wasn’t sure enough of the shade to place a We Love Colors order and pay for shipping. This Anne Klein pair was near the checkout at DSW and I’m very happy with the color (and quality). Next time, I’ll try them layered under black lace tights (again, like E).

January spending is complete! A budget report will follow at the end of the month.

Little Lace Number

I seem to be wearing this skirt with increasing frequency. It gets a lot of wear around the blogosphere as well. I know of at least three other bloggers who own one of the colorways: Tania, Kyla, and Erin. They can’t get enough of this little lace number, either.


Cardigan, Wet Seal. Sweater, The Limited. Skirt, Mossimo. Tights, Stocking Diva. Boots, Diba. Belt, thrifted. Necklace, vintage. Headband, self-made.

The best thing about this skirt might have been the price. It was on clearance for $4.24.

And Pearls

The (faux) pearl collar on this sweater compels me to accessorize with more (faux) pearls.


Sweater, vintage and stolen from New Gate. Skirt, Parson’s Place (thrifted, vintage, and shortened). Tights, We Love Colors. Boots, White Mountain. Belt, thrifted and vintage. Bracelets, Claire’s, Forever 21, and thrifted.



I’ve only worn this sweater twice before. I seem to have trouble pairing it with other things.


Any ideas?

Chili Bowl

We went to a chili party today and brought our newly invented "Triple S" chili*. It’s spicy, sweet, and smoky (and vegetarian).


Sweater, I Heart Ronson. Dress, No Boundaries. Tee, Forever 21. Jeggings, Mossimo. Boots, Diba. Necklaces, thrifted and borrowed. Purse, vintage. Gloves, Buffalo Exchange.

There were four kinds of chili to sample. (I only made it through three tastings.) Of course, I wore my eatin’ clothes.


Too much chili! Too much heat! I surrender!
