dark grey American Eagle vest
taupe Old Navy tiered skirt

Just a quick outfit post, I have lots of GRE-studying to do before my class tonight! The vest makes me feel very academic, not really sure why.

Honey Glaze



What I'm wearing:
yellow J.Crew tie cardigan
black Martin + Osa slouchy t-shirt
black/creme printed anthropologie zip skirt
black Hue tights
black Frye Lisa T-straps
gunmetal Martin + Osa Bubbles necklace

This gorgeous weather is making this Monday bearable. I love this skirt, it has a zipper that runs down the whole front of it, I wish I took a better photo! And the best part is, I scored it on sale for just under $30!! It was originally $128 so I'm really happy with this deal! I'm also currently obsessed with this necklace, I can't stop wearing it.

(Yes, I do know that our yard is covered in leaves, but for now I think it provides a nice backdrop.) I will be really sad when all the leaves are gone until spring.

Purple Rain...



What I'm wearing:
Forever 21 faux fur vest
Martin + Osa silk cashmere v-neck sweater in Sugar Plum
Martin + Osa Ponte Button Tab skirt in black
grey cable knit sweater leggings from American Apparel
black Steve Madden "Intyce" boots
black Handmaid by Michelle Frantz bag

Today is just one of those chilly damp days where you just want to stay home and snuggle in bed. Alas, I had to go to work. I was having some real tights issues today, for some reason I couldn't find a plain black pair, and once I did think I found a pair but in the light they looked navy, even though I don't think I've ever bought a navy pair. Anyway, I got frustrated and just went for my grey sweater leggings. I don't think I've ever worn these as leggings on their own, I have always just put on a pair of socks over them and tucked them into boots. (Today I'm wearing Halloween socks, I'm always behind in festive wear.)

This outfit was definitely warm and cozy. Maybe just a bit *too* warm and cozy. While I was working today, I spied the most adorable knit sweater on a customer. Of course I had to ask where she got it. She told me she got it from Forever 21, very recently, so I had to go check it out after work. Too bad F21 is waaaaay on the other side of the mall, and the mall was incredibly crowded. Also, the crowded F21 store was extremely hot. As I was waiting in the long, long line to check out, after successfully hunting down this sweater, I felt as though I was going to melt. The combination of faux fur vest, cashmere silk sweater, sweater leggings, and boots almost made me faint. At least I know this will keep me warm!

Rain, Rain, Come Again Another Day....






What I'm wearing:
cranberry J.Crew turtleneck
bow jumper (from my sister's closet)
grey striped Hue tights
grey patent Sofft mary janes
anthropologie Inverness trench

Sorry for the lack of outfit updates, the rainy weather had really put a damper on my photos! My indoor photos were all horrible. Today I was able to snap a few quick ones before it started drizzling again. With the nasty weather, I have gotten a *ton* of use out of my anthropologie Inverness trench. I absolutely love the full skirt and the bow detail. I've gotten compliments on it seriously every single time I wear it. And yes, I do look absolutely ridiculous in the coat photos, but I really just wanted to show the cute bow detail. The full skirt is fun to twirl in.

I do feel like this is a very doll or "little girl" kind of outfit, but I love it anyway. So glad I found this jumper randomly in my sister's closet when I was home. Hope she wasn't planning on wearing it soon! (Sorry S!) I just thought the bow and the trim at the bottom was darling. Paired with the turtleneck and the tights, it's a perfectly cozy outfit!

Quelqu'un M'a Dit




What I'm wearing:
charcoal J.Crew turtleneck sweater (looks black in these pics though)
floral silk Anthropologie skirt
mustard yellow socks from Target
Target Kamaria ankle boots
coat stolen from my sister's closet, Korean?

It's a rainy day in Atlanta.... it's been raining ALL DAY. Which is why I tried to take better photos of my outfit but the lighting is horrible all around. So you'll have to settle for this boring background again.

I love rainy days when I don't really have to do anything! Didn't have any plans for today, but this morning I took a practice GRE exam. (Bah, not so much fun). Then my mother and I went out for some yummy Korean food (soondooboo and naengmyun / spicy tofu stew and cold buckwheat noodles) which is always something I love to do. Then of course to delay being out in the rain some more we stopped by the bakery and enjoyed lattes, split a croissant, and snacked on some macaroons. Lovely. =)

Aren't these booties so fun?

I think that they don't look that bad for only being $30. Love the color too! I figured for such a trendy boot, I'd go for the save vs. splurge. Love that they are military inspired.
