Tribal

So... I know I said that the cold weather is my favorite to dress for but I've found that the hardest part is to not just roll out of bed fifteen minutes before class and throw on the coziest thing I can find. For when I do have those days (which have been occurring quite often), I turn to this amazing Kensie sweater  I bought at Nordstrom Rack about a month ago. I'm in love.
The vintage pants are another piece shipped to me from my aunt to model for her etsy store, Very Tres Chic.
I bought the BDG shoes on sale at UO this summer and the origami crane earrings were handmade by my sister message me if you want to buy a pair!

Late Thanksgiving

 I'm a couple weeks late on this post because I took all the photos on my dad's camera and forgot to get the photos onto my computer before I left. 
Well, here they are, I hope you enjoy this little montage of my Thanksgiving night.
P.S. isn't the dining room perfect?
It sure looks like a million dollar dining room but I had to get my thriftiness from somewhere, right?
My mom is the Goddess of Thrifting.
A few of her finds in this room include the chairs she got reupholstered from a garage sale, green goblets from an estate sale,  and I think she hauled the plates back home on an airplane from a thrift store in Wisconsin.

Zac and I flew to Vegas this weekend for a super classy wedding at the Wynn. 
This wedding was for the a daughter of good family friends and I actually went to new bride's sister's wedding this summer. Details of the summer wedding can be seen in this post.
The wedding was a really great time and was beautifully decorated.
I found it quite funny that, being full of big Badgers fans, the wedding party requested a TV to view the game at the reception. The wedding planners at the Wynn said that was their first-ever request for a TV at a wedding party.

I wore a Nicole Miller dress from the Gypsy Den that the owner, kt, hand altered the side openings herself, a necklace made by the same gypsy, thrifted shoes, a vintage leopard coat borrowed from my mom, and a vintage purse I found in a bunch of me and my sister's old dress up clothes.

Almost Famous

With the cold as and excuse, I wore this cozy jacket I bought at Savers and for some reason people (girls in particular, the doods thought it was rad) gave me the weirdest looks. 
I hope it wasn't because they thought it was real fur because this baby is 100% faux fur.
I felt like channeling a 1970s, Almost Famous inspired kind of look today so I paired the coat with a pair of pants that my Aunt sent me to model for her etsy store. A friend of mine pointed out that I look like a pimp straight outta the seventies. YES! Anyways, the pants should be for sale in the near future if you're interested you should check them out on her site. And, for those of you who haven't already seen these shoes in my posting before, they are Classiques Entier from Nordstrom.
