Viva La Jumpsuit!

Jumpsuits forever!!!
FOOOORRRRR-EVVVVVV-ERRRRRRRRR
(if you haven't seen the SandLot at least 1,000 times, 
then you might not understand the generational significance of the word "forever")
(believe me, it's a big deal)


Do I have some kind of weird, Freudian complex that makes me want to wear 
what basically amounts to the adult version of a onesie?


(yes)


Which 11111111111?

I can't choose - somebody help!

No, seriously, or I'll buy them all. I have a bad habit of doing that when I can't choose.

Sweater Dresses!

YAY - it's time for sweater dresses!
Some of these are "body-con" which I'm pretty sure is fashion slang for "body conscious" and means not subtly that you (and everybody else) will be literally conscious of your body/every little ripple underneath your dress.
the good ripples and bad ones...

Choose wisely, friends...

Cold Rained In

Not nearly as fun as being snowed in (and "fun" being relative to how much food/water you have....as well as cable), but I do the best I can. There was supposed to be > 2 feet of snow on the ground by now, but alas...not one flake. Anyways, hypothetical: suppose I were snowed in - and wanted to make some sugar cookies -  but Oh No! I don't have any butter - that means I need to go to the store for ingredients - but what should I wear? What should I wear........


Is there a lot here? Sure, but when you need some butter, you need some butter -

Been a Long Time (I shouldnt've left you without a dope outfit to step into...)

Heh heh? You like what I just did there (the title, silly)? Well it only makes sense if you know Aaliyah's song by heart....which anyone who came of age in the 90's does!!! That's a given.

Anyways, it has been a long time. I was asked to make a Xmas list and I listed Old Navy as one of the items; like, literally, all I said was "Old Navy." Those two words, nothing else. That's what I want for Xmas - the entire store.

With that in mind, of course I did some online shopping to see what I actually wanted and it was hard to narrow down because, you know, I will own the whole store come Christmas....but here's one outfit that I would wear if I had all the pieces.


Personally, I'm tempted to layer the vest over the sweater - but that's mainly because I can't choose which one I like better. Black, sheer tights. Stunna!

Old Navy (obviously): Belted jersey dress, 29 (sale!); Faux snakeskin flats, 26.94; Faux shearling vest, 29 (sale); Popcorn knit sweater coat, 40 (sale)
Boots: Meteour - Steven by Steve Madden - Stone, Piperlime.com, 189.50
Bag: 2209 by Street Level, Piperlime.com, 53.99 (sale)
Earrings: (All from Forever21.com, from left to right) Bejeweled flower studs, 4.80; Ridged center earrings, 3.80; Floral teardrop earrings, 5.80
