Seeing as I've been wearing underamour leggings under sweatpants probably this whole month, "fashion" blogging hasn't really been an option. I've also been saving monies for a new computer set up, so I've kind of just secluded myself in my house with my cats, a pot of tea, and netflix [which is awesome]. I do have some things planned for this next week though, my work schedule isn't quite as hectic, and I've been getting creative, I'm sick of hibernating. 

I've found some good vintage finds as of lately, and can't wait to show you guys. 

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,

I'll be the first to admit, I loathe winter. No, really, you don't understand. I hate it with the fiercest of hates. But the one thing I can enjoy about it is ice skating. There's just something special about cuddling up with your hunny, hot cocoa in hand, and making a complete fool of yourself skating in circles. I'm kind of the most uncoordinated person you'll ever meet. I can barely walk barefoot on flat surface. But it's just so fun, and puts me in the holiday spirit. 

Here in Cincinnati they've set up the winter outdoor rink in Fountain Square. It's in the middle of downtown and has the possibility of being super romantic! It's not quite cold enough to maintain ice, but it's getting me a little excited.

Speaking of holidays I'm going home in about a week for thanksgiving! Home for me is right outside of Washington DC . I'm taking Brian to stuff faces with my Mom, Step-dad, and half of my siblings [I'm one of six]. It's funny, because I'm getting homesick the closer the day I hop on the plane comes. 

What are you doing for the Holiday Season?

I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday afternoon! I've got a nice big post planned for tomorrow so be sure to check back !

Top - GAP on sale 13.00
Skirt - Old navy
Shoes - Charlotte Russe

Lady like? I'm not quite sure, but I've started actually doing my makeup again, so it can't be a bad thing. Sadly no vintage in this post though. Brian did say that he thought the shirt was when he first saw it.

I've been actually having lots of luck at thrift stores and have tons of stuff to put up on my etsy. I got these boots for myself yesterday for one buck! They're perfect fitting, soft, worn in already, and the best thing I own. I've been wearing them non stop these past few days.

What's your perfect pair of everyday shoes?

I'm going to post an etsy update tonight with a few cute dresses, after I get off of work tonight. I've been a busy girl! 

Until next time,

-Paige

Cowl Neck sweater - H&M , TEN DOLLARS. :)

Dress - Etsy, from the lovely seller Madam0wl

Shoes - Charlotte Russe

I know the dress is a little sheer, but the sweater covered my bum so much so I could probably wear it as a dress. I will be investing in a nice black half slip soon though. I don't really know if I can rock this purple. What do you think? 

ALSO! Please check out my boyfriends blog for unflattering pictures of myself and great reviews about cincinnati culture!

Hope everyone had a great weekend,
