First, Second, and Third Helpings!


First things first: Amanda from The Upside of Wonder made a little chat room last night and I got to chat with some awesome bloggers!! It was a bit of a throw-back to my 13 year old self. I say we have a girls night drop in to hang out online because it was so much fun. I'd love to chat with some of my other favourites out there. 

Second things second: I could not find anywhere good to take outfit shots. The driveway was annoying me, my toes were too cold to walk anywhere through the snow, and I was generally fussy about everywhere I went. This brings us to the garage door and my "oh well" face. All I wanted to do was show off my lovely new coat! Is that so much to ask!? My mom...I mean Santa... gave it to me for Christmas and I love how marching-band-y it is. This is actually the outfit I wore to our Christmas dinner (so I'm only 2 weeks behind)...

Third things third: One of my moms friends was getting rid of her old-standing-jewelry-dresser-thingy. She gave it to me FULLY STOCKED. She just left everything she didn't want it. I've only dived into the ring area so far!

coat - pink martini
sweater - j. crew
belt - mom's
dress - old navy
tights - winners
boots - aldo
headband - homemade

    Oh my goodness I love this outfit! So beautiful. And I would die for those rings... I adore rings probably more than any other jewelery, yet never wear them. Something to do with chubby fingers. :(

    This outfit seems very classic. I love the shape of your coat, and of course the pattern on your tights.

    You are so amazing! I love how you can make garage door photos so chic! Love your coat. And that chat room sounds like so much fun! I was obsessed with chat rooms in jr. high. :) And I am soooooo jealous of your jewellery dresser and all the rings left behind. SOooo lucky. I had one when I lived with my parents, but my mom took it back when I moved out. So sad.

    You may not have liked the location, but the photos turned out great. I am always mildly jealous of snowy backdrops. The white just makes outfits pop. It is only a mild jealousy though. I have no idea how i would cope with actual snow. I am a FL girl at heat after all.
