RED all over!!

Typically I cannot handle the holidays without going shopping for cute holiday clothes. This year shopping is clearly not an option....but it feels SO GOOD. Last Christmas I wore these red jeans with the same shirt but had never tried adding the boots and beret. I recently went with my parents to the local Christmas parade and wanted to be festive while staying warm. This ensemble worked perfectly.

Wool Beret & Scarf: Wal-Mart, Coat: Kenneth Cole (Gift from my cousin), Shirt: Kohls, Pants: Old Navy (Thrifted), Boots: Macy's, Gloves: Isotoner (from JC Penney), Purse: No idea. I've had it for years and dug it out of my closet for another try!

Fall for All (Seasons)

I know we are deep into the Christmas season but I wanted to share this outfit I wore Thanksgiving weekend because I think it works all throughout winter.  My younger brother just bought himself a unicycle which made for a humorous photo opportunity. Then I took the chance to pose with my grandmother, a classy and stylish woman whom I have inherited quite a few vintage pieces from.

Purple gets Professional

Yesterday I was in the mood to wear something really professional to work. My students noticed and responded with "Wow, you look nice today." "Thanks kids...so what do I look like the rest of the week?" :-)

The pictures aren't the greatest quality this week. I took them with my phone which apparently doesn't turn out so smashing indoors at night. But nevertheless I didn't want another week to go by without posting. Stay tuned for some holiday outfits that I put together from clothes I've owned for a long time and yet never thought to combine. It can truly be fun shopping from one's own closet!
