New Year's Eve

Hello! I hope everyone had a fantastic New Year! I can't believe it's 2009. I'll have graduated high school 5 years ago this June. It's such a strange feeling! I still feel really young most of the time.

Did you make any resolutions? I have a few to keep in mind but I haven't really made any formal ones. I pretty much make the same ones every year, ha.

Here's what I wore on New Year's Eve:


The white shirt and the leather skirt are both thrifted.

Mat wore a vintage Christian Dior sweater:


Happy New Year!

Christmas Day

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and got everything you wanted. My Christmas was very laid-back; I split my time between my house and Mat's. I normally don't get dolled up for Christmas, so I just wore a sweater and some jeans.


I bought this MSU sweater forever ago, but this is the first time I wore it! It isn't my usual style, but it fits really well.

Mat wore a vintage Pony t-shirt.


We pretty much just hung around all day and ate a lot. I still wake up early on Christmas morning. We also watched The Nightmare Before Christmas, because I had never seen it.

Feel free to tell me all about your holiday!

Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve, y'all!

I had to work all day today, so I'm tired and am looking forward to relaxing, but I wanted to share what I'm wearing tonight:


A 1981 t-shirt that reads "Sneaky Peat." I think it was for a band?



I kind of hated this sweatshirt for a while because it dyed some of my favorite shirts green, but, it is super soft and holiday appropriate.

And since I'm baking cupcakes (Holiday Funfetti!), here is my beloved apron and one of my favorite thrift store finds:


It says, "For THIS I spent 4 years in college??"

You also get a nice glimpse at my holiday outfit, haha.

That's all for now. My family is waiting for me to start watching Christmas Vacation. We've watched it every Christmas Eve, without fail, for as long as I can remember. Do you guys have any holiday rituals?

I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday!

Chaos

I've been busy lately, which is both good and bad. The weekends especially have been extra crazy, leaving me no time to blog. To make up for it, this week will be full of picture-heavy posts!

Friday night I went to a formal dinner at a friend's house, which gave me the perfect excuse to wear my long-sleeve sequin shirt. I know I posted it a while back, but here is the shirt in full effect:


It is more silver in person. I also considered another outfit, but rejected it due to the cold weather:


The skirt is the vintage item. I just picked it up recently. I can barely move in it, but I love it! Here is a close-up:


It looks almost plastic-y, but feels like crushed velvet. I also got an amazing leather skirt yesterday that I will post soon!

Saturday night Mat and I did a Rock and Rummage event in Wyandotte, where I wore another recent purchase--a Christmas sweater:


This normally isn't my style but I really love this cute little sweater. I think it's because the fit is nice and slim, not like most Christmas sweaters you find at a thrift store.

Lastly, here is an item I picked up recently to be put in our Etsy shop:


I apologize for the crappy quality--I need a new digital camera (hear that, Santa?). This is a black blazer with gold stripes and gold buttons. It's perfect for the holidays!

I dropped about $40 yesterday at thrift stores (when I should be Christmas shopping), which got me a ton of new things, both for the shop and for my closet. I'll be posting all the new items on my blog this week before they go up for sale. Mat and I are also doing another Rock and Rummage event this Friday, and I'll post all the details for that tomorrow, so be sure and check back!

Well, that was my weekend! How was yours?
