after weeks of neglect, i have finally decided to start on the massive, days-long project of doing my laundry. no joke. i have somehow amassed so many articles of clothing that my bedroom has been overtaken. i am afraid to look at the dry-cleaning bill. but the fun part about laundry day is that you always end up wearing some silly mess of things that happened to be clean at the time. for me, this turned out to be a very fun endeavor because i got to dress in my best rendition of advanced style. i.e. like an eccentric old lady, wearing this new faux fur stole that my mom gave me for christmas, and these killer leather gloves i got on etsy.
and guys, i totally pulled out a sash again. remember when i was the master of the sash during the late spring/early summer? i wore them as belts and as turbans almost every day, but they finally had to go back in the closet because i only had them in spring colors. but i am beginning to see the possibilities again, especially when it’s laundry day and i can’t be bothered to wash my hair. haha!

OMG you look so stunning!!! love the combo of fur and lace tights together and your headwear is super awsome!!!
This is the best laundry day outfit i have seen. I remember the tragic outfit of the laundry day episode of "the gilmore girls". Great choice, and i love the turban.
I love that sash with the fur! Its so Grey Gardens. Your always a style inspiration, keep it up

Cleaning is no fun! It gets ahead of me too often, and here I am a neat freak!
You look absolutely amazing though :))
I wondered if any one else would make the Grey Gardens/Little Edie comparison…yep, they did and I so agree….what a look for laundry day! I usually resemble Madame Trash Heap from the Fraggles.
This look is amazing, I love layering, and the fur is stunning.
