Ice Cold

I got my new booties & my sunnies in the mail today! The boot color is PERFECT - you can't really tell in these pictures because of the overcast, but they're a wonderful deep indigo. The mouth of the shoe is a little wide for my taste, but they'll be great with skinny jeans or my deep blue tights. They'll make their actual debut this weekend when I'm visiting in Oberlin!

I love the sunnies, too - they have a great vintage feel and they were a steal at only $5! Actually, this whole outfit was a steal - other than the leggings, everything was bought WAY on sale. I'm trying to only buy new things on sale to keep my budget down...

Shades of Gray

It was cloudy & cold today, and I was inspired to dress in shades of gray. When I'd first bought these tights, I was afraid that they'd make my legs look bruised... Instead, I like them a lot!

I also really love the high-waisted zipper skirt. In the summer I pair it with a black tank top, but this is the first time I've worn it this winter. I like the look of long sleeves with a mini-skirt. I think it's sexy without being too slutty...

My friend Arielle came up to visit for the long weekend, and I really loved the bright sapphire color of her dress - her eyes are really blue, so the bright blue is a fantastic color on her!

Man's Shirt

Well, it was only the second day of school and I was already running late. To make it to class on time, I threw on a pair of grey leggings & a lace tank under this man's dress shirt I found forever ago. A couple of quick accessories and some wool socks & I was ready to go!

Rainy Day Comfort

It's been super rainy all day (and cold!) so I wanted to make sure that I dressed warmly and relatively comfortably. Also I had a piano lesson and was going to be sitting in a freezing cold lecture hall for class... ugh.

The shirt I'm wearing is actually inside out - the "right" side is studded (which I like a lot) but I wasn't really in the mood for it today. Fortunately, the studs are small enough that they don't show through to the other side.

I absolutely LOVE animal print... adding small pieces with animal prints are the best way to jazz up an outfit. These shoes are great because they have a pretty high heel and a natural looking print...
