Giraffe in snow-boots.











Sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream and other times you have to rely on green snow boots(both equally unreliable) I'm wearing a gray flannel dress paired with this gray and black knit poncho. It is, upon first glance, a traditional color pallet with no real intrigue or drama. Just take a gander at those snow boots, that will give you enough stamina to defeat a snow monster. My sister got them at a thrift store for six bucks. The green and purple color scheme is really fantastic, very mid-8o's.

Skinny Love.






















Just picture what your curly headed mother would be wearing on Easter Sunday 1996 and you will probably conjure up an outfit extremely similar this floral dress. The dress is cut in that awkward mid-calf length style and screams "window drapery" pattern. No, my frame is not that angular, its just the shoulder pads. Aside from all dresses' tragedies, there is something almost magnetic about the fabric. Maybe i do only like it for its nostalgic quality. The pattern spans from neck to calf with no break in its rhythem, the belt even shares in the intensity of the motif. Something your mother most likely wasn't wearing on Easter morning 1996 were these leather ankle moccasins(unless she got Easter confused with thanksgiving, it happens)they just drip whimsy and edge and are not only undeniably hip but undoubtedly comfortable.

Does your cat have a mustache?
















It's finally very cold here. It's December, so its fitting. The cold weather is not a legitimate reason not to wear a floral frock, ever. Just wear your little flowery dress with stockings, knee socks and flats.(as pictured above)To make sure you are actually not welcoming in hypothermia, throw on a heavier coat, like this army green mid length coat I pairedwith my frock. Enjoy coat season, there are so many varieties and colors out there for coats and jackets. My next Item to find during my thrift store quests' is a camel colored long coat, goes with everything.
