I kind of feel like a school girl playing dress-up with Mom’s animal print and fancy handbags in this outfit. Go figure, the belt does in fact belong to my mom. But the red corduroy is festive and the leopard print is fun– no denying that!
Once upon a time, there was an affair that brought maidens from all over to an enchanted land…
The Anthropologie 50% Off Sale.
And in a dark corner in that crowded sale room, I found one single pair of my long-lusted-after Bowed Lacerta Mary Janes.
And I just couldn’t say no. We are now living happily ever after.

I realized this past weekend that being home, bumming around on a Saturday, is no reason to not wear fun clothes if I’m feeling particularly glitzy. That kind of inspiration comes from my girl Carrie Bradshaw. The woman who cozies up with Big and his takeout while wearing Jimmy Choos and pearls. In case ya didn’t know.

I wore this lacey number and my favorite sequinned gold clutch out last week to the Boston Bloggers Holiday Fiesta, hosted by the lovely av of {long distance loving} and Katy of Modly Chic! I had so much fun catching up with some of my blogger gal pals from Rendez-Vous New England this past fall, meeting many new faces and friends, and just celebrating the holidays! And I sure don’t hate an excuse to dress up.
In other news, five days until Christmas…!

American Eagle is making a total comeback in my book. Embellished sweater with that familiar and cozy AE feel I’ve known since high school? I’ll take it.
Oh it’s been too long.

Awkward:
-I own two hats that I love but that are also a bit embarrassing. A sequin beret and a winter panda hat with ear flaps. Yeah. On the same day this week, I saw what appeared to be a 3-year old wearing my panda hat, and who I assumed to be was his grandmother wearing my sequin beret. Starting to question my life choices.
-Flash mobs. I may or may not have been in one. You can see the evidence on NBC News here.
-My neighborhood sushi chef recognizes me now. Too many Philadelphia Rolls have I eaten recently.
Awesome:
-Dance show this weekend!! Grueling tech rehearsals leading up to it, but the final result is always so worth it.
-Grandeskinnypeppermintmochas getting me through these long nights!
-One of my good bloggy friends, Jennifer, sponsors causes every month on her blog. Right now she is teaming up with Awake & Alive to help them open a school for students in Ethiopia next fall. You can learn more about it here, but know that just $10 provides uniforms for a child. Think of how much we spend (or spent) on clothes for one school year…. more than $10 I bet 😉 Plus Jen will give you a month of advertising space for every $5 you donate! Now getyoselves over there and support an inspirational woman and a great cause!
New favorite thing? Glitzy skirts and cozy sweaters.

Linking up with The Pleated Poppy‘s What I Wore Wednesday with my Thanksgiving outfit!
I think my family would have T-Day dinner in sweats if they could, but every year I push for something a litter dressier. Hey, be thankful for what we have right??
