Something Old, Something New

Pleats and Plaid Please

something old - vintage pleated, plaid skirt.

I just wanted to put that out there.  I was overjoyed when I stumbled upon this skirt in Goodwill.  The colors were perfect, and the fit was undeniable.  I had to have it.

I paired the skirt with simple black.  I wanted it to be the focal point of my look, so I didn't do draping or loud jewelry.   The skirt spoke elegance and simplicity.

Chain Mail Tee

Hey guys, I am finally home from celebrating my 30th birthday and getting adjusted to being back in America in this arctic, wintery weather.

In this post, I am wearing a beautiful chain mail shirt I received as a gift from my bestfriend for Christmas.  She purchased this shirt at H&M, and although she thought it would be fitting for me...I probably would have shied away from such an edgy piece.  I love it though, and very excited to have it as apart of my wardrobe.  Let the styling begin~

The Boyfriend Sweater

This post is to highlight a sweater that I bought for "my boyfriend".  Hence it's a boyfriend sweater that I somehow worn more than he has.  This sweater is comfy and cool looking, and that's a kick a** combination.
