Soooooo anyone besides me ever do an entire little photoshoot (which, in my case, calling what I do a "photoshoot" is really wishful thinking lol) and then realize something like....um, MY BAG WAS BACKWARDS THE WHOLE TIME.  #likeaboss  #winning

 

But oh well.  I'm wearing lots of jewelry, a little white fur, and the wold's most rockin' awesome little booties, so life couldn't have been that bad, even if little things went wrong.  Right?  Right.

 

Business Chic: boy meets girl [again]

Sorry these pics are so blurry......I was definitely standing in my side yard with my iPhone balanced on my garbage can lid.  #likeaboss  #...orsomething  #yolo?

Live Fearlessly

There's some soul food to sink your teeth into...mmm...delicious.

        and
Here's a weekender look with which I sported a beanie and a "bad" attitude:

On Rainy Days, We Wear...

 

Not-so-Daisy-Dukes

Forward

Who doesn't LOVE this coat?  I bought it this weekend.  I am so in love with it. 
Wait 'til I'm able to really feature it later....you'll really see why, then.

Forward.  It's where and how I'm going. 

Painting the World with my Kooky Paintbrush

It was 23 degrees this day, but
a.) I was in a colorful mood, and
b.) I could not WAIT to wear the shoes I had gotten the day before!!!

I'm a crazy person, yes indeed.

Where to start gushing about this outfit?  +sigh+  I just love every bit of it!  The blazer, shoes, and necklace are all brand new additions to my wardrobe, and I couldn't be happier!  I've been on the hunt for those things for awhile (a colorful blazer, a necklace to go under collars of collared shirts [specifically this denim one], and THESE SHOES). 

The shoes, OK, OK, we all know that I'm a shoe gal, so I'll really give them some typed lovin' here: 

I have been craving these shoes (in black) since before Prabal Gurung for Target even launched.  Of course, the black were the first to sell out, +sigh+ so instead I scoured thrift stores for something similar.  There were some shoes I found that could have been similar with some minor surgery, but they just lacked something that couldn't be fixed.  Like, too short of a heel, or not being minimal enough (it's the lack of actual shoe that makes these shoes so sexy and perfect lol), or whatever. 

So then, when I had all but given up hope, I found this pair at Goodwill with the tags still attached!!!!  I was amazed.  But then I looked at the size, and my heart dropped.  They were a 7.5.  I'm at LEAST an 8.5--usually a 9--but I couldn't help myself; I tried them on, anyway. 

Oh. My. God.  They fit.

No idea what face I'm making, here...

And then, of course, there's this necklace.  I was inspired by an Instagram photo posted by Forever21 awhile ago to find myself a necklace to fancy-up-but-not-fancy-up button up shirts.  ...You know what I mean? kinda? maybe?  Well, whatever.  This necklace is exactly what I was going for.  And it's not something that I would've just picked out in the store (if I didn't have a specific purpose)...which probably means that I will find myself wearing it constantly.

Anybody else experience that? 

The ironic, sort of unexpected bits of your wardrobe end up being worn the most?

Sweet Nothin'

Here's something a little strange: I was doodling at work, and just sort of drew a girl in today's outfit.  I was excited about it, I guess.  :)

And please forgive the glaring anatomy errors: I was drawing in pen.  At least she has two of everything she needs to have two of.

Don't you love this faux fur vest I found at Goodwill???  I do. 

I wish you could feel it (...that's not creepy-sounding at all...); it's ridiculously soft!  Wearing it is like being hugged by a hundred chinchillas at once (...'cuz I totally know how that feels...).  Heavenly. 

And it has toasty warm pockets, too!

I hope y'all aren't getting sick of this bag, yet! 'cuz I'm obviously not...

Feel This Moment

I still don't know how much into this neon trend I'm buying...buuuuuuut if a sweater is $1.49 at Goodwill, I'm buying!

Lolz...bad pun.  Sorry.

One thing I'll say for neon, though: it's the perfect thing to brighten up a dreary day!  Especially a snowy day when you're hoping for spring...

I love blogging for you guys!).

Anyway, this outfit is full of cool details.  Here's a couple detail shots:

Love my baaaaag of course. 
The cable-knitting on the sweater is so gorgeous,
and my necklace never lets me down when it comes to adding punch to an outfit!

These shoes (and craaaaaazy pants) have already been featured,
but they're just so awesome that they deserve more time in the spotlight!

Kinda random, but I also wanted to share my animal in the Chinese zodiac. 
I'm the dragon.  :) 
I'm still pleased as punch about that, same as when I learned about it in gradeschool.  I also love hearing about how healthy I am when it's my second week battling the same cold...haha.  Ohhh the irony.  (But in general I will admit that I am pretty healthy.)

What is your Chinese Zodiac animal?

Do you like that animal?

Is the description pretty accurate?

 

I wanted to share a couple shots from my self-photoshoot in my car...'cuz I'm really cool like that.

  Heh...I just wanted to share my awesome new magenta faux fur scarf!  Just a peek for now, but I'm sure you'll see more of it soon.


Annnnnd we'll end this post with an outtake: Mom caught me tugging my sweater down.  Really pretty.  :P 
But, hey, at least I got her to take my photos outside in a location NOT against the blue wall in my bedroom.
