Even with the extra hour thanks to Daylight Saving Time, the weekend was still too short. I finally wrapped up a DIY I started weeks ago and caught up on my blog reading. And then it was Sunday evening and I got excited because even though it meant the weekend was over, my new favorite TV shows were on. Have you seen Once Upon a Time yet? It’s a fun take on classic fairy tales. And Robert Carlyle plays Rumpelstiltksin, which infinitely adds to the awesome. And there’s The Walking Dead. This season has been fantastic so far (although there could be a little more zombie carnage)!

And because this is a fashion blog, not a “what did I watch on tv blog,” here are some outfits from last week and yesterday.

I have since recovered from a delicious Thanksgiving dinner spent with friends that are really more like my family. It was so much food that I needed all of yesterday to recover. Seriously. No Black Friday shopping. I can’t believe it either.

Last Thanksgiving, I realized that long skirts and dresses in jersey are the best thing for overeating. There are no zippers, nothing to constrict me; in fact, there’s plenty of room for my food belly to expand.

I’m also taking this opportunity to share all the layering required for me to leave the house. The beige thing I’m pulling off my arm is actually an elbow-length glove. My giant knit hat is in my purse.

Also, dig my awesome boots. I first saw them in Free People and nearly forked over $200 for them at the beginning of fall. On Tuesday I snuck out of the office for some fresh air, somehow ended up in Marshalls and found them for $80. Holla!

coat- H&M
gloves- Gap
scarf H&M
sweater- H&M
sweater vest- Topshop
skirt- H&M
boots- Boutique Nine (Nine West company)

Friday night tapas for a girlfriends birthday! I bought this dress at the end of spring from Ebay and have been waiting impatiently for the weather to cool down enough to wear it. Right before I left the house I realized I’d better put a skirt on underneath. Once I put on my jacket and bag, the side of my dress rode up and I was really happy to be wearing that skirt!

I saw this outfit on the Briannelee and loved all the jewelry she piled on. I also loved her inspiration for the outfit- the glamourai, who everyone should visit for inspiration. Her ability to pair patterns and colors and layers is just far out.

So in turn, after Briannelee was inspired by the glamourai, I was inspired by her and threw on a ton of necklaces. They totally made the outfit!

 
blazer- Zara
vest- Topshop
skirt- New York & Co.
shoes- too old to remember
necklaces- Wet Seal and The Habardash Vintage

I will not pay $65 for these shorts.

I will pay $10 for fabric paint and find a pair of cutoffs. But thank you for the inspiration.

Years ago, I bought a t-shirt from Wet Seal (remember that place? I worked there for years. embarrassing fact #1) that had the words Search and Destroy emblazoned on the front in silver. The skinny hipster (before it really caught on) in my English class asked if I was a fan of the song. He was pretty cute, despite the unwashed hair, so I said “Oh yeah, it’s awesome.” I had no idea what he was talking about. I finally heard the song last year and I was right- it is awesome. Anyway…

My outfit today isn’t especially Iggy Pop-esque. And my jeans are too tight. All my jeans are a little too tight these days. But it’s okay- I was tired of eating food anyway.

Chloe kitten was woken up from a nap and not in the mood to pose for the camera. Such a diva.
 
vest- topshop
shirt- j.crew
jeans- 18th amendment

ps- that lil’ Sam Edelman box in the corner? You’ve seen these shoes on everyone else, but I finally got a pair. And I’m wearing them tomorrow!
