Holiday Party ? holiday party?

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?

It's too cold for tights :( 

 

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,

WIW yesterday to look like willy wonka

 

  

 

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!

WIWT Simple

 

Hairbow - DIY with antique doiley

Skirt - Old Navy

Top - Forever21

Trouser socks - Kmart

Shoes - Ebay

 

Ahoy, some craptastic photos. I really just did not feel like setting up the tripod, fussing with focusing, and all that jazz. Hell, I didn't even really do my hair today, just bobbypinned it into submission. So You'll have to forgive me in that respect. ;) 

I found that doiley in one of my favorite Antique shops, that is sadly closing, Sin City Antiques. It's bittersweet, because stuffs on sale, and a ton of things I can finally afford, but they won't be there by the end of the month. I'm sick of the ecomony blowing so much. 

I haven't got as far as I wanted on my Bjork costume yet, I have a feeling my friday night before Halloween will be ruined because I'll be gathering tulle and tearing threads. Oh well, it's going to look most awesome by the time it's done! 

Don't forget to enter the giveaway, and I'm also excepting sponsors at this time for super cheap!

WIWT 

 

 

   

Total Chipmunk face! xD

 

So I was lurking around on my reading list the other day and fell in love with the crop top sweater that Carmalized Vintage had up on the site. I made it my quest today on my day off to find something equally as awesome. I found it, and I fell in love! I've never been a big fan of sweaters as they seem to fit kind of awkward on my long torso and ahem, generous stomach. But Realized the whole crop top and high waist combo has been a total relavation! To be cozy and stylish is kind of a great feat for me. But I think I pulled it off alright. I paired it with my most favorite vintage wool skirt. I realize it's quite simple, but I'm not one to pile things on am I?

Vintage Crop top sweater - Thrfited

Nude tank top - American Apperal 

Vintage Wool Skirt - Thrifted

Belt - Ribbon, obvisously I need to go to the school of tieing cute structured bows

shoes [not pictured] - Vintage Navy Flats - Thrifted

 

I'm also in the process of updating my etsy! Lots of cute dresses from the 1960's will be up tonight! For real this time. :)
