Deer & Sequins!


I am finally able to cross an item off one of my Wishful Wednesday posts, an article of clothing featuring the ever adorable deer! Upon spotting this item on sale, I literally sprinted towards it, pushing everything and everyone out of my path. Well, not really, but it adds to the excitement....so lets just all pretend that actually happened.


Scarf & Sweater-21
Thrifted Sequin Dress
Leggings-Target
Boots-Payless


I originally wanted to remix this  thrifted sequin dress I wore last year to the Nutcracker, for Everbody Everywear's Sequins+Sparkles challenge, but unfortunately I missed their deadline by like 4 days...opppps. 

So I went ahead with my idea anyway and wore the dress as a skirt and paired it with my sweet little deer sweater. I felt super festive today, wearing this while doing a little Christmas shopping :)



In other news, I got a sweet promotion at work last week! Yay!!

I also got my hair cut yesterday. I finally bit the bullet and chopped the bottom layer off, it needed to happen ever since I started growing it out. I was waiting till the first layer got a little longer so I wasn't stuck with a bob. You guys can't tell though obviously, because my hair is up...haha.

Lastly, I am sooo looking forward to having a nice chunk of time off of work in a few days for Christmas! yay!






Hope everyone is having a great weekend and is looking forward to the Holidays!

What's on your legs?






Cardigan-Thrifted Gap, Dress-Romy, Tights-H&M, 
Over the Knee Socks-Target, Belt-UO, Bike Necklace-F21, Boots-Payless



If you read the P.S. section on my last Wishful Wednesday post, I said I would give you the details on the not-so-nice comment I got on these exact tights. So here it is:

Grandma: "What's on your legs?!?!" Me: "Tights.." Grandma: "Ewwww, what color are those?!".  
Me: "Mustard Yellow." Grandma: "Those are UGLY!!!!!"
Me: "hahahahaha, they make tights/nylons in all different colors now... not just black, brown, navy and white..."

I knew it was only a matter of time till I heard something about these tights.....Oh Grams, I love you. haha :)



 Also, that gray wool thrifted Gap cardigan is possibly the best item I have ever purchased while thrifting. I got it last year, but just recently started falling more in love with it. It is sooo cozy and warm that I don't even have to do much layering....$10 well spent.



P.S. I am a total copy cat and loved the above dress so much that I bought it even though my sister has the same one. Oppppps...sorry Brenna :p
