january 28th {gifts}

 merona tiered top {thrifted target stock}   ·  old navy blazer {thrifted}
old navy skirt & scarf   ·  mossimo kachiri boots   ·   forever 21 bracelet

i am convinced that...

·  a bright, printed scarf instantly adds punch & interest to any outfit

·  a 30 degree day in the middle of winter is the greatest gift a minnesotan can receive

·  a bathroom squeegee works amazingly well to remove 3" of snow from your car {trust me!}

·  this skirt is way too short.  note to self:  i need a plain brown pencil skirt
!

·  tina will love her horseshoe bauble bar earrings {you won my giveaway!  check your email!}

tuesday (frustrated)


merona cardigan {thrifted target stock}   gap ruffle placket shirt {thrifted}
old navy full skirt   xhilaration rosette ballet flats {thrifted target stock}

i had such a frustrating time getting dressed this morning.  frustrating as in liking this outfit but worrying about the hemline {thankfully my boss came into work wearing a dress with a hemline at least three inches shorter than mine, but she doesn't often wear skirts or dresses so i can't always count on her to be my hemline barometer} and proceeding to go through every outfit i picked out on sunday and had hanging on the back of my door until they all wound up in a messy pile on my bed and i settled back on this outfit.  i hate mornings like that.  i wake up with plenty of time to do what i need to do before i need to get out the door to work, yet it is seriously anxiety-provoking when i feel that i need to tweak or completely change my outfit.  that's how it felt this morning... so i just settled on this.  the process that went into selecting it definitely took the joy out of getting dressed this morning and appreciating the little details of the rich magenta/plum color of the cardigan and ruffle detailing on the blouse.  needless to say, i am signing off and i am going to make sure i have something ready to wear tomorrow and hope that i can do a little better getting dressed in the morning! have a good evening!

wednesday (summer, part 2)


old navy blouse   merona cardigan   old navy skirt
forever 21 belt {thrifted new}   mossimo kachiri boots

i'm not sure if it's technically an "indian summer" right now in the midwest, but the weather pattern we've been experiencing in this week has been beautiful!  so is that cover of "indian summer" by ben gibbard.  i'm just going to stare out my window now and listen to this song while i gaze at the yellow orange leaves!  happy wednesday, indeed.
