Hi guys! How are you doing? I seriously miss you! Just dropping in with a simple outfit I wore out to dinner and a movie a few weeks ago. But let's be honest, I changed out of these heels immediately after these photos were taken!
Outfit Details
Top - thrifted
Jeans -H&M
Hat - Eddie Bauer
Heels - shoemint
Earrings - Charming Charlie
I have been living in these high waisted black jeans I picked up from H&M the other week, and the top is a recent thrift find. The movie we saw was Big Hero 6, which I thought was really cute. Anyway, not to sound like a broken record, but my shop and seasonal job are keeping me so busy that I barely have time for anything else! I hope you guys are having fun shopping for gifts and being merry!

So here's the story of these overalls. The short version is that when I ordered these, I thought they were going to have a loose casual fit and they turned out to be quitefitted instead.
The long version is: About a month ago, I got it in my head that I NEEDED a pair of "skinny" overalls with a more tapered leg after seeing them on some of my favorite bloggers. I actually ordered a pair, paid for it, and then was told later that they were out of stock. How to companies sell things that are out of stock? Isn't that's what computer inventory systems, etc., are for?! Anyway, I grumpily turned to ebay to search for an afforable pair and landed on what looked perfect, except that it was from China and I never know what size to get (when in doubt, the largest one possible). Which is what I did. So, I then waited a patient (HA) three weeks for my XL overalls in the mail, checking the tracking progress, oh you know, at least once a day. So, they finally arrived this week and it was like Christmas morning, which is how it is when anything I order off the internet and then wait a long time for arrives. I ran upstairs to try them on, and lets just say the "slouchy-cool" fit that the model in the picture showed was NOT how these bad boys looked on me. At all. Let's just say I felt like a stuffed pork sausage in my new XL overalls and ripped them off and decided I hated them.
Fast forward a day or two and I decided I'd give them a second shot to run some errands. And lo and behold, this set of photos is actually my favorite outfit in awhile. When I finally decided to put them back on without the image of how they looked on the model in my head and tried to embrace (ok tolerate) my hips and thighs, I felt so much better! But let's just say there won't be any back-end views of me wearing these quite yet on the internet.
Does this ever happen to you, especially after ordering things online? Its so easy to get it in your head that you don't measure up in some way to things you see in the media. As they say, comparison is the thief of joy! But I think its super important to remind yourself that whatever thoughts of jealousy or longing you are having about something you see in someone else's life, someone else may be having those same thoughts about YOUR life!
Thanks for listening to my rant guys. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

You guys its COLD. Like it apparently snowed near us this morning. And rainy. And may I point out that it was in the 90s during the day last weekend? At least its Friday!
I wore this out to grab a few beers at a local brewery (Lefthand) and eat Thai food with R and his sister while she was in town. The mustard pants (or jeggings as the tag read - what an awful term) are new from an outlet store while we were driving home from the mountains. And jeggings or not, they're super comfortable (and apparently on sale now)! I paired it with a cozy sweater I picked up last month that I've been waiting for the cooler weather to wear.
Anyway, more exciting shop things happening, as I was asked to start selling my vintage in a local salon in my new town! It will be my first in-person vintage location and I'm busy getting a collection together to bring over next week! Hurray!
Have a great weekend!

p.s. Do any of you guys use rewardstyle with your blogs? I am just getting started with it and if you have any tips or want to tell me about your experience with it, I'd much appreciate it in the comments! :)
Some days its a struggle to find something to say on the blog. Perhaps its the feeling of being in limbo in between seasons that finds me a bit lacking in the inspiration department right now. While I am enjoying dressing for slightly warmer weather on some days, it still feeling like I am just waiting for something.
This dress was one of my favorites from the shop, and is now on its way to a lovely lady in Australia (as these were taken a few weeks ago). I decided to pair it with a matching green varsity jacket and red boater hat for a pop of color.
I hope you are all having a good week! If you are feeling inspired by a new project or exciting news, etc., I would love to hear!
