$5 clearance dress: target (it has great waitress blouse style sleeves, so i can't wait to wear it in the spring), cardigan: i don't remember, leopard shoes: target, sparkly shoes: toms, bullet necklace: dinosaur toes, key necklace: bueno bueno. note about necklaces, i felt a little like mr. t when i put on two necklaces this morning, but since the outfit was plain and those are my two favorite necklaces, i figured it would be okay. i love it when a plan comes together (okay, so not mr. t, but it's still the a-team).in my defense, my hair looked MUCH better this morning. since it's so long, it's kind of difficult to do much with it, but my one go to style is a low bun to the side which looks pretty good. but of course i had to show the side without the bun. smart move. also, i did not wear two different shoes today. i may be a little crazy, but not that crazy! i wore the leopard print flats to work, but then went to get the toms this afternoon. chris actually bought me the gold herringbone toms i so desperately wanted for christmas, but it turns out i got the dud pair. the right shoe fit perfectly, but the left shoe was bigger in width and length to the point it was actually too big for my foot. so i went today to do a shoe switcheroo, but they didn't have another pair of size 5 gold herringbone toms. i actually wasn't upset though because it meant i got to exchange the dud pair for a glitter pair! so i'd say the mishap ended up working in my favor! tonight chris and i are going out to dinner with pop and my stepmom, so i'm sure you can guess which shoes i'm going to wear!
the hair accessory is of course flojo. she has separation anxiety, so once i got home from work i had to let her come be in the pictures with me, otherwise she'd end up screaming herself hoarse thinking that we wouldn't be together.
so all in all, i'd say it was a pretty schizophrenic day. crazy hair, a parrot on my head and a picture with me wearing two different shoes. i bet people that don't read blog posts and only look at the pictures will think i need help.
how was your thursday?
one giant bit of news: i am going to list fewer items and less often in my etsy shop as their fees are killing me. but, i will still keep new items coming on my 
i wanted to get a christmas picture for you, but i had certain criteria: 1. show christmas tree 2. don't be boring. i'm glad i have a husband who will go along with any shenanigan i come up with, even if it makes us look foolish! i'm thinking this might be next year's christmas card! also of note - the dress i'm wearing is a handmade 1950's dress i got a few years ago for three whole dollars. the details are beautiful and i'm thinking i need to dedicate a post to the dress!
i really love this cardigan. the fabric is so incredibly soft and i like the simple detail of the scalloping around the collar. i also have to admit that i'm a mexican shirt hoarder. even if they're too big, i can't pass them up. luckily this one fits perfectly, and it even has a bird on it!
the blouse below is one of those things that i wasn't sure about, but carla approved, and i figured she was probably right. it's really lightweight and soft, and my favorite part is the feather-like design.
now for the price, because everyone is interested in thrifting deals, right? the cardigan and pink blouse came to five dollars and some change after tax. verdict: score! the mexican blouse was $2.99. verdict: affordable hoarding score.
