Heads Carolina, Tails California

What I'm wearing:
*H&M Striped Knit Jacket (similar here and here)
*Yellow Laundry by design Dress (similar here)
*Gold BCBG Flats
*Forever 21 Giraffe Necklace (similar here)
*Michael Kors Horn Jet Set Watch

I used to hate black & gold together, since it always reminded me of a bumblebee, but it is a color combination that has definitely grown on me (it is also my alma mater's colors!). This jacket also reminds me of Beetlejuice but that is a different issue altogether. It is *just* not yet warm enough to wear skirts and dresses without tights, but I just can't bring myself to wear them. I am about to pack them up for good. I love tights, but after a long cold winter of wearing them almost daily, I'm willing to shiver for the next couple of weeks until it warms up for good. [Edit: ok, I take it back, today it is definitely warm enough to go bare legged!!! Gorgeous day outside.]

I don't know what it is with me and animal motifs in prints and jewelry, but they delight me to no end. Like this giraffe pendant from Forever 21. I love the long chain but also think it would look cute on a slightly shorter one as well.

These are two of my recent anthro bargain scores from their sale! This is actually a pitcher for creamer and a little thing for sugar, but I decided to re-delegate them to holding my brushes/pencils and my rings. I think they add a little fun to my dresser top, and I love the light minty color. [anthropologie Produce Stand Creamer and Sugar Set, both are on sale for $3.95].
