I'm not dead, I promise. I've just been very very busy. 

Between work forty plus hours a week, the holidays,trying to get into college again, mini cat crisis, and procrastination, the blog had an unintended mini hiatus. 

Good news is I've been getting inspired. 

I'm back, promise.

The holidays are really sucking all my extra money and time away from me. Sorry I haven't been posting as regularly. I'm shooting photos for my etsy store later. Lots of fun stuff to go up. Also a giveaway will be up on friday! 

What are you wearing for your holiday parties? 

Headband - CVS
Sweater - H&M
Leggings - More like underarmour, ha it's cold!
Belt - Old Navy
Boots - Wintage

This is what I wore to an antique auction to buy clothing by the racks! I'm so excitied to comb through it all!

Winter makes me want to curl up on the couch, while wearing long johns and flannels, watching horrible movies with my Brianbear. I've have been the most unfabulous dressed person in the entire world ever as of recent. Not to mention pretty horribly broke thanks to my vacation. No money and no motivation has kind of killed this blog over the past week. I'm coming to from a mini hibernation though. I got ten amazing vintage hats before I left for DC. I just really haven't left my house except for work and runs to blockbuster. Brian has promised me a dress up date sometime soon though. Not to mention the Christmas parties, new years eve, and my birthday are all within in weeks of each other.

I did see The Fantastic Mr. Fox movie though, and it was wondering, and oddly inspiring. I reccomend it if you love Wes Anderson. Although it was billed as a childrens movie, I think it's made for a way more mature audience. Still it's the kind of movie I would have loved as a child, but I was a little weird. :)

What movies are your standbys for lazy days?

Glasses- New, cheap, 1980's reporter about to break a story?
Thermal - Gap Outlet
Jeans - Flirt style @ old Navy Blazer - Vintage 1960's / 1970's wool
Boots - Value village thrift
1960's clip on earrings - garage sale

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this look, but lately everything has been quite hectic and cold. This outfit is very much so a result of the two. I can't decide if I even like the blazer, the shoulders are a bit strong for my tastes. 

The local antique store is sadly closing, but leaving awesome deals with it's death. I know I've been the most horrible blog keeper ever, but I promise I'm finally getting all the etsy updates up soon. Plus I'll have plenty of internet time when I'm waiting for planes next week!

I got these jeans the other day because my beloved dark blue skinny legged ones from target have turned into dust. I'm not sure how much I like them anymore, they've started to get way loose already. 

What's your favorite jean? 

Keep warm, stay sane,
