Turtle Necks and Slip Dresses

 Believe it or not, but it is actually freezing here in Texas. Once the weather starts getting cold, a full out panic breaks out among Austinites. We aren't eqiupt for this weather. We are used to it being one million degrees outside. When the first nip of cold swoops through the air and pricks the bare arms of a tank top clad Texan, all hell breaks loose. Everyone is all of a sudden saying their goodbyes as they lay day and accept defeat, just waiting for the cold to take them. Seriously, you would think we were trying to survive naked in the freaking Tundra or something. Even if you live in a warm state and don't have that many pieces of warm clothing, it is really easy and cheap to transition your wardrobe. Your summer and spring wardrobe can take you through the entire year, you just have to get the hang of layering. Splurge on a few sweaters, some knee high socks, and a nice jacket. BOOM, you're ready for the cold. I have had the same beautiful leather jacket for years and I wear it with everything, it was definitely worth the money and it makes it so I don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on new winter clothes. Well, me personally, I am a shopaholic so I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes just because I love doing it, but for all of you normal people, stocking up on a few layering pieces is a money saver! I hope everyone is enjoying this cold weather!

Layering Up

 Today was absolutely brutal in Austin. It was cold, windy, and rainy but I just had to make a trip out of my house for some sushi with my boyfriend. I will always risk getting pneumonia for raw fish. When it's this dreary outside, I like to layer up with some color. I matched my favorite cold weather items (black litas, black coat, black stockings) with some of my more colorful pieces hanging in my closet. A white leopard print dress, pink beanie, light denim button down, and bright jewelry mixed with my favorite black items made for a nice cozy outfit. Just because it's miserable outside doesn't mean you have to look miserable. There is no rule saying you can't wear bright colors on a dull day. Go into your closet and do a little experimenting with layering. Have some fun with the cold weather! Pretty soon it will be boiling hot and you will be crying because you miss your winter clothes.

Merry Christmas

I decided to get really dressed up this Christmas. At this point in my life, I will take any chance I can get to dress up. What is the point of wearing boring clothes? Exciting clothes makes for an exciting life, and I am not going to waste my life wearing boring clothes. This skirt is exquisite. It is made out of small winter white roses and it is just so beautiful. It is my favorite holiday skirt. I think it is very important to have a piece of holiday clothing that really stands out. It could be a flower patterned skirt, or a sequin dress, but every girl needs that one fancy piece of clothing that really stands out. I hope everyone has a fabulous Christmas, and I hope you are all standing out this holiday season!
