[wearing]
jacket: michael kors (exactly)
top: club monaco (similar)
pants: anthropologie (similar)
scarf: forever21 (similar)
shoes: tom's (exactly)


+
the boy had never tried bubble tea, so a trip to chinatown was in order to fix this. comfy shoes and crazy pants were also necessary for the endeavor.  

dotty and the orange day

[wearing]
orange: thrifted (similar in purple)
gray: thrifted (similar)
tights: forever21 (similar)
boots: oldnavy (similar)
necklaces: forever21+dottymade


+
i don't typically pair an 80s-ish thrifted thing with another of its kind, but this brightness needed some serious grays. and this is probably the closest i've come to matching the red books in that book stack. some days just call for crazy bright orange. and some times when a shirt hangs in my closet for six months mocking me, i eventually wear it.

dotty and some leggings

[wearing]
cardigan: polo ralph lauren, borrowed from the boy (similar)
sequin sweater: j.crew (similar)
leggings: simply vera (similar)
boots: old navy (similar)


[going]
on saturday errands...not wearing pants. while i am thoroughly opposed to tights masquerading as pants, somehow i am okay with leggings and a giant cardigan being an outfit for a lazy saturday. i'm thinking it has something to do with the bum coverage.

[wearing]
sequins: j.crew (similar)
furry mcfurerson: forever21 (exactly)
gray jeans: forever21 (exactly)
boots: vintage (similar)

i finally came across a fur vest that didn't make me look like pimp or that i got attacked by a bear.  yessss.

jake found this scarf while getting out his winter clothes and assumed it was mine.  and it's not.  so, it's been hanging over the bedroom door until we figure out who it belongs to.  in the meantime, it is being put to work and keeping me warm.  

this is outfit number SEVEN from my packing and remixing challenge. see what i packed in my suitcase here.

[going]
on a quick jaunt to the grocery store to pick up granola supplies.  i always feel sillier than i actually look wearing these boots, so i need photos to prove to myself that they are not that weird.  and that they are very friendly with scrunched down tall socks.
