make that five, actually, counting last night. i wasn’t able to get a ton of time off work for this visit home, so while i’m here i needed to make sure i see every extension of my crazy family and squeeze in as many traditions as possible. i am fat and exhausted, but if those are the worst of my problems, consider me one lucky girl.

you know the awesome thing about the internet? you can post things like wish lists just because you’re looking for something to blog about, not expecting anything to come from it and then BOOM! people know what you want! which is how i ended up with this amazing coat as an early christmas present from a secret santa. i plan on wearing the shit out of this baby, so expect to see much of it in the near future.

my new nutso holiday work schedule sometimes leaves me scrambling to find a photographer every (dress up) day, but i am LOVING the three o’clock light! it’s so friendly and flattering. 

this is another outfit pretty blatantly copied from someone else (this time from jessica of what i wore). although now that i look back at it, it isn’t as exact as i was thinking it would be, which is good. but that’s why we’re all doing this, right? to share and inspire? plus, she was the first personal style fashion blog i ever followed and my inspiration to actually start doing it myself. 

jacket: hand me down

dress (worn as a top), belt: f21

skirt: hand me down

scarf: stole from mom

this is what i wore for the chik-fil-a/tmnt adventure earlier in the week. fyi - it was a blustery night. this skirt was an unintentionally dangerous option. 

sweater: h&m (hand me down)

tights: too old to know

not gonna lie, i totally copy-catted this outfit. i saw a pin on pinterest and immediately knew i could do the same thing. hooray inspiration! i don’t know if you can see it or not, but the tote says “i love sweets!! i am happy when i’m eating!” pretty much me in a nutshell.

i’ve started this book before but didnt get a chance to finish it, let alone get very far. but i’m halfway through it this time and i love the noir and the drama. 

i somehow almost always end up with a collection of pretty things on my dresser. 

new glasses. obsessed. 

a pretty little kitty in my neighborhood. 

flowers brighten up my desk at work. 

i seem to be having an la themed entertainment week. 

the man friend and i went on a sushi date and i forgot to take a picture of this adorable sushi cat until he was all messy. 

holiday shoes!

we had a “thankful day” at work, and gave each other thank you notes. i got this little love letter from miss josie. 

i’ve had my ears pierced a couple of times, but it never seems to work out for me. so the majority of my life i’ve spent lusting after gorgeous earrings that will never be mine, and i’ve been pretty okay with it. but i found these little clip-on gems at f21 and decided to go for it. i love how they instantly make you feel fancy! there were also a ton of clip-ons at the flea market this weekend, but none that i had to have. but at least now i know there are options.

so it seems i’m at the time in my life where everyone is growing up and getting married. its a little surreal, especially considering most of the time i still feel like i’m twelve. so while nontra and steve are off to savannah to check out the location for their big day, i’m cuddling with this guy and finding things to borrow from nontra’s closet.* 

dress: target

scarf: american eagle (i think)

everything else: ?

*all of it is borrowed.
