Triumphant Return

This is what I wore during one of the first days of our Christmas break in Cape Girardeau. A day full of thrifting, eating and last-minute gift shopping (though the eating part is always my favorite : )). This was one of the only days I could walk around without a coat on, a feat in itself for late December, and the next day the temperature dropped probably 20 degrees. We even had to come back to Columbia early because of an impending snowstorm...I'd say winter has finally arrived.

Shirt: Thrifted; Sweater: Thrifted; Skirt, Tights, Necklace: Target; Booties: Old Navy

Happy New Year's Eve! Any exciting plans?

Ugly Sweater Love

Anyone else feel weird when they see pictures of "Ugly Sweater" parties on Facebook and genuinely like all of the "ugliness" displayed? Matt and I were looking at the page of a mutual friend who was featured in such a photo album, and he pointed out that the sweater I was wearing because I love a crazy pattern probably would have made a debut at that party, had it been made available to someone. We then continued on through the album, and there were more than a handful of sweaters I would gladly wear IRL, given the chance. What does this say about me? 

Sweater: Thrifted (duh); Jeans: Vintage; Booties: Old Navy

Mostly, I think it says that I like what I like and I'll wear what I please. LG OUT.

Sweater Weather

Let's have a moment of celebration (I know I did) for my first sweater of the fall season! Albeit, I paired it with quite a mini skirt, but it still counts! I wore this last weekend while Matt and I were just mosey-ing around, exploring our neighborhood a bit more. It was one of those moments when I discover someone is watching the outfit photo session, and I get embarrassed and hide on the opposite side of whatever building I'm in front of. #shygirlproblems

This sweater is something I stole from my mother's closet during high school, and have loved to pieces ever since. I have to say, mom was pretty on-point with her sweaters- I have 3-4 of them in my closet. While I can't say as much for her mom jeans, I can give credit where it's due. 

Sweater: Stolen from mom; Skirt: Thrifted; Shoes (altered by me): Target; Tie: Vintage; Bag: Thrifted

Any plans for the weekend? I'm hopefully going to kick this head/throat ache I've got going on. Wish me luck! See y'all Monday!
