Something Old, Something New

Wacky Holiday Outfit

Tis the season guys, so I am back with another outfit post.  However, this post serves a different purpose meaning that it's not meant to be so cute.  This is an outfit that I would wear if I were invited to a holiday party that I didn't want to go to.  It's sort of meant to shame the person that's making me tag along. hahaha. Have a looksie, and tell me what you think of the outfit.

Looking back on these pictures, I actually like this outfit alot.  Maybe minus the oversized sweatshirt, but still a great look.  Those tights are so festive and cute, and my black brogues are second to none in my wardrobe.  I scored the tangerine rollneck at my local Salvation Army on 50% off day, and I have been wearing it non-stop every since.  The satin skirt is an oldie, but goodie from The Gap.

Happy Holidays guys!!! I'm sticking to my love for black and white in this post with a generous splash of color.  The jumper dress is incredibly old, I bought it maybe 10 years ago.  However, it managed to hide in the back of my closet, avoided being donated to the Goodwill.

When I initially came back across this dress, I can't lie I thought hideous, but honestly at one point in my life this was my absolute favorite dress.  I loved the color and print, and the fact that it bubbled at the knees was a trend that I died for in 2005.  I figured since I once loved this dress, I could surely modernize it a bit making it work for my style and taste now.  And that's what I did.  I added a black and white striped sweater, a choker (which is very in style at the moment), and a pair of brogues.  What do you guys think??
