Fuzzy Cardigan

Sweater: JC Penny (similar under $23) // Dress: H&M (super similar for $45) // Necklace: Topshop (similar here) // Bag: Nordstrom BP  // Booties: Shoemint (similar) // Tights: Wade and Belle

I almost got rid of this black shift dress but something made me keep it. Turns out that was a great idea considering how easy it is to style year round. The 3/4 length sleeves make it a versatile piece and a wardrobe staple. 

This just goes to show I get rid of way too much of my stuff. I have a bit of a problem wearing things 2 or 3 times, and then tiring of them. With this problem of mine, you just might gain. I'm selling my very gently worn (and sometimes even new with tags) clothes and accessories on eBay. Check out the goods here!

There's snow in Chicago. What's new. These photos were taken before everything turned into a giant ice mountain. Back when it started to snow we thought it was novel and pretty. I'm so beyond that point right now. I would like to see my ankles again. I know they are in there, trapped under some fuzzy socks and snowboots. Come on Mother Nature, give me a reason to get dressed again!

Some days the light, the outfit and all the tweeds, textures and colors just work together in perfect harmony. This was one of those days. 

 I hope you all are enjoying the begining of the week as much as I am. I started Monday with no school for MLK day and had some ladies over to do a fun little photo shoot/collaboration (more on that soon! Can't wait to share!) and see my "new" apartment.

With the rest of the day I caught up on Glee which always leads me to tracking down an item of clothing seen on the show. This time it was an amazing Trina Turk dress Quinn wore that was on Mega sale (sooo many cute dresses on sale with an extra 20%off!) and I literally got THE least one in stock! Yay for me. Anyone else think the best purchases are ones that have a backstory with a sweet ending?

Also while catching up on my magazines, something I very rarely have enough free time to do, I came across a picture of Gwen Stefani wearing these L.A.M.B heels and fell in love. The only reason I'm not seriously considering getting these is I know myself, and know a 4.25 inch heel just isn't practical for me. I rarely wear a shoe with a heel to school and if I do its a mid heel. Guess I'll just admire from afar.
