while this guy spent a good portion of the last day of 2011 cleaning out his closet and taking a buttload of clothes to goodwill, i reached into the depths of mine for some nye inspiration. i’ve only worn this dress once before because its pretty loud and really little. i tried my best to make it a little less scandalous and more age-appropriate but still dressy and fun for our evening of excitement. also, i flippin love these booties. i kind of wish i could wear them everyday. 

dress, bracelet: f21

sweater: hand me down (although i think still f21)

socks: kohls

clutch: gift

necklace: hand me down

shoes: journey’s - cant remember the exact brand right now :-/

ps - last time i wore this dress, we were bowling: 

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.

…in a far distant land called savannah, i stumbled upon a guy on the street with racks of vintage clothes, just giving them away! there were tons of tweed jackets, so i grabbed as many as i could carry and ran home before he could change his mind. when i got home i realized they were all for a woman at least three times my size, but i didn’t care - i would have them tailored and they would be amazing. of course that didn’t happen. they sat in boxes and moved with me to at least four different apartment before i decided i would never have the time, energy or money to fix them into beauties like this coat and in a feng shui fit, i gave them all away. (i didnt say this was going to be a happy story)

coat: banana republic

how flippin adorable is this shirt? i love that the camera looks like my mini diana (which, by the way, i’m working on a project with and i’m so excited to finish the roll and get it developed soon!). 

also, i kind of did my hair! you’d hardly know me if it weren’t for the toms.

my mom asked me a couple months ago what i hipster was and i couldnt really give her an answer. all i know is that i dont qualify for two reasons: one - i’m not cool enough. i care too much what other people think. and two - my open declaration of love for all things hipster immediately disqualifies me. i love hipster clothes, hipster glasses, hipster boys, you name it. so there ya go.
