this year's costume...a classic witch.

Image
After winning these Tabbi Socks skeleton tall socks on an instagram giveaway, I felt like I had to go with a classic witchy look this year. I'm wearing: dollar store (old) witch hat, old dress upcycled by me, old free people corset, gifted socks, gift sandals from my sister (lazy oaf x melissa) I did wear these sandals for pics but ended up wearing my neon orange gifted sven clogs for actual Halloween because they felt far more festive than hearts! I just wanted to show off the skeleton toe prints on the socks. This Halloween was also my first time ever making pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that I got the recipe from a friend for. THEY ARE A NEW TRADITION. They came out amazing. So tasty! xx  I hope you had a safe and fun Halloween too! We had friends and neighbors over for a bbq and manned the fort for trick or treaters in my front yard. xx I also threw together a last minute ballerina closet look for a party on the weekend!

closet ms. pacman costume idea.

Pretty niche but if you are a huge pacman nerd like me, you may want to throw on all the pacman stuff in your closet that you have for an easy last-minute costume! I'm wearing: eBay beret, old amazon pacman dress, coach x pacman bag from mercari, yellow sven clogs  This would be easy to DIY for other classic games like tetris or pong too if you are crafty like that. xx

If I was really going ALL OUT, I might add a fake mustache, white gloves, a luigi husband and possible yoshi or toad accessories/friends. This is a great last minute idea for things you might already own! I wore: super mario tee from uniqlo, vintage denim ovearll dress, vintage beret, red socks, calou stockholm boots You could also do a bit of easy editing (above) like me for the more recognizable look! xx

Here's a poor lighting (sorry!) shot from a concert look I wore on the weekend eBay diesel blouse, eBay coach bag, thrifted skirt and old (first og pair) of sven clogs bow tie pink heels Here's a weekend look I did for dinner with my family: thrifted jacket and top, eBay skirt, calou stockholm boots and pacman bag from mercari I put together this closet costume and I ended up wearing it all day without the hat and jacket for lunch and errands. I love how the brown makes the teal boots pop even more. Also--SO pleased with this suede fringe star studded jacket that I snagged for only thirty dollars on poshmark! CHECK ALL SIZES, ya never know!  I'm wearing: thrifted hat and shirt, fossil outlet bandana, poshmark bagatelle jacket, thrifted suede gap vintage skirt, eBay justin roper boots, moschino sunglasses from Poshmark

Here is this super fun bright color block look from the 19th! I will TOTALLY wear this again. I felt very happy and bright at brunch with my friend in this look! I wore : pink tee and skirt thrifted, thrifted belt, etsy purse, amazon headband, calou stockholm boots Above is a dreaming of Fall weather outfit I tried on for fun: eBay lazy oaf dress, vintage thrifted blouse, old tights, lazy oaf boots from mercari HERE ARE MY SEDONA OUTFITS FOR MY BDAY TRIP Above is my grarnd canyon hiking outfit-- thrifted tee and shorts (frame) xmas hiking boots by columbia Above is my sedona day look, a thrifted vera wang kohl's dress that I love. I was going to bring my clogs but it was cold so I ended up with cowboy boots! For my sedona night outfit, I brought this poshmark sparkly sequin dress. YES I love it, the color is perfect but it not the size medium the user promised, it is actually a size 4 so it's pretty small. It definitely shows my hip dips but it's ok with spanx and tights, ...

a couple of looks and some wedding guest prep.

Here's a look I put together for my instagram feed but I just don't love it. I think something is off. I don't know, it needs something different maybe. It's not my favorite.  I wore: thrifted shirts and skirt from poshmark, old pier 1 imports pashmina scarf, lsp dr martens from eBay Here's my real life look for a day of errand running before my friend's wedding! Here's my hair half done for fun. Left curly and right straightened with my wave tool from Target. I swear it's better than a Chi! The Chi got too hot and smelled way more like burning hair, in my opinion. I only use heat a few times a year since I don't want to damage my hair. I always use argan oil (OGX) and heat seal spray by Garnier. I also do leave in conditioner the night or morning of straightening for extra protection.  I wore : thrifted top, thrifted gap dress, dr martens from eBay, fall leaves necklace from my husband (thrift store find)  Aaaand...TADA here is my glam gown! I...

new navy clog boots.

Image
I never wore navy and green like this, it seemed like a fresh spin on some of my favorite colors in a new pairing. PLUS I just got these absolutely dreamy Swedish boots from Calou Stockholm in the mail and I was so pumped to make an outfit around them! I tried them on in Sweden at the HQ and loved them but didn't have room in my suitcase. A couple of weeks later, I contacted them and bought them for myself as a birthday gift! They are so pretty! And SO comfy. This color isn't available anymore but the style is still on their website in black or gray if you want to snag a pair for yourself! I'm wearing : thrifted pearl strand, moschino glasses from poshmark, ted baker bag, shirt from my mom, thrifted wrap skirt, amazon socks, calou stockholm boots And here's a valentine-vibe look I put together for fun yesterday at home. I wasn't really up for going anywhere since I had terrible food poisoning (spicy thai food was trying to kill me). xx
