well, the holidays are approaching. i don’t know quite what it is, but i can certainly feel it in the air. my outfits are getting more casual, i’m losing the motivation to get work done, and today i’m blogging from my boyfriend’s parents house! we’re here to relax and hang out for the evening. my almost-day-off got me thinking: i’m going to be out of town for several days coming up, and i might have to actually pull away from the internet and leave the blog on vacation! it’s probably a good thing because now that the semester at school is over, i really do need a good break. and what better way than to enjoy a big thanksgiving dinner with family?
so in fitting with the mood, i dressed very casually today. no frills. and i was entertained by the way it came out: i’ve got black and blue, highs and lows, silver and gold. almost my entire outfit was vintage found in thrift shops for a few dollars each, except for my fancy pants j brand jeans. and i’ve had this men’s watch forever, but i hardly ever wear it! in fact, i think i’ve had these boots for 2 years and i never wore them until today. it’s kind of amazing how i still struggle to think of an outfit to wear some days when there are so many items in my closet that i haven’t even worn yet. but sometimes i’m just waiting for the right opportunity to wear it. does that ever happen to you?
wearing:
vintage navy blue puff sleeved blazer, thrifted
vintage plaid blouse, thrifted
high rise skinny jeans, j brand
vintage justin roper boots, thrifted

That jacket is super sweet!! And I ADORE the boots and your watch. This is a fabulous casual outfit.
I do the exact same thing…..entirely thrifted outfits, then one fancy pants item! My go-tos are j brand jeans and kensie skirts.

Yes, I tend to "save" outfits for that right event. But most of the time, that event takes too long to come around, and I end up wearing my new clothes the next day. :P
Great boots and coat! I love your haircut too. Too cute. :)
i love your haircut!
i really like those boots, how could you not wear them?! haha. i have loads of things in my wardrobe i've wore only once or twice though, but now i'm not earning as much i'm finding myself making myself wear them in new ways
Gorgeous. I love mixing navy and black together.

I agree with those above- the boots and the watch need to come out more often!
i do love this outfit…the boots are fantastic :)
yes i do that too, i save things for the 'right' occasion as i don't want to waste them by just wearing them round the house!
You should wear those boots more often and those skinny jeans fit you amazingly! =)
