Holiday Outfit: Christmas Converse, Red Velvet Skater Skirt, and a Striped Sweater

By
Happy Christmas Eve! I can't believe it's already the 24th. To keep with the festive nature of this day here is a very holiday appropriate outfit. I wore this for our family Christmas card pictures. I'd been trying to find an excuse to wear my Santa-like red velvet skirt with my Christmas Converse so Christmas picture day turned out to be the perfect occasion. This skirt is mostly appropriate for holiday times due to the strange nature of its velvet material. Instead of a fine fuzziness it leans toward strange red faux fur. It's perfect for this time of year because it seems like something Santa's suit would be made out of.

What do you think about my Christmas Converse? I've had them since high school. Some years I forget to dig them out of my closet so they look mostly unworn after all these years. There are only so many days I can wear Christmas Converse! These are definitely a pair of shoes that will remain in my closet for many years to come because they're so unique and ridiculous. Maybe one day a child of mine will want to wear them! They'll still be sitting in their box waiting for December to roll around.


skirt: romwe | striped sweater: forever 21 | tights: walmart | shoes: converse 






I hope you're having a wonderful holiday if you celebrate and a fantastic Wednesday either way. I'll be spending time with my extended family eating various soups and tamales. I'm particularly excited about the white elephant gag gifts we'll be opening too. They're probably my favorite part of Christmas besides being with my family! 

Anyway, be safe and happy holdiays!

Those shoes are the best for Christmas. I love stripes and it is always a good combination with the velvet skirt. I adore my red velvet skirt, they are the best.

Botanical Fun

These pictures are from my outing to The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which just so happens to be conveniently located about 8 minutes from my apartment. There were still a nice amount of flowers blooming so it was really pretty. I decided I needed to get more wears out of my pretty Steal the Game Show dress from Modcloth so I took some inspiration from other bloggers and wore it as a skirt! I actually really liked how this outfit turned out. Plus it was easy to walk around in all day because I wore nice, comfy Keds. dress (worn as a skirt): Modcloth.com blouse, belt, bag: thrifted cardigan: ann taylor loft; thrifted shoes: keds sunglasses: kohls earrings: forever 21 I quite enjoyed my brightly colored nails. They're China Glaze Papaya Punch with an accent nail of Electrify from the Capitol Colours collection. I've been loving having the whole Capitol Colours collection. Especially since it's Hunger Games themed. If there...

Work Outfit: Light Blue Jersey Knit Dress and White Block Heels

By

I'm a big fan of what I call "pajama dresses," which are really just jersey knit skater dresses . They're comfortable enough to sleep in, yet can look 100% put-together if styled nicely. That's exactly what I did with this light blue dress California-based shop Tobi sent me to style. (Someone even asked me why I was dressed so nice at the dog park! I told them I just came from work, of course.) For the debut of my newest pajama dress, I added my silvery beaded Stella and Dot necklace and a pair of white block heel sandals from Forever 21. I actually bought the shoes back in December on sale and had to wait for it to warm up to finally wear them. Happily, they're comfortable enough to walk back and forth to work, which is really all I can ask in a pair of cheap shoes.  daydreaming skater dress : c/o tobi | shoes : forever 21 | necklace: stella & dot | sunglasses: forever 21 Check out more from Tobi:  shorts  |  jewelry  |  casual dresses ...

Outfit: Concert Tee, Black Denim Mini Skirt, Pink Tights, and White Converse

Here I am wearing a concert t-shirt again. At this point I'm not sure I'll ever stop wearing them. Maybe when I'm 70 I won't wear them with bright pink tights and white wedge Converse, but really, who knows? Maybe we'll all be dressing like Zenon : Girl of the 21st Century by then. (I can only hope.) And if I really take a look at this outfit, all I need is a colorful vest and I may as well have come off the space station. They really liked vests in that movie. I guess they don't need sleeves when everything's climate controlled? It is, however, not climate controlled outside in Atlanta. These pictures are from a couple months ago but it still hasn't reliably warmed up here yet. Also, my hair is now completely different since I had it chopped off again into an asymmetrical pixie a couple weeks ago.
