What?! Two looks in one post?! YES. And there’s leopard.

This leopard-print pajama-style blouse is another recent purchase from the French sustainable brand Balzac Paris (check out my earlier review here). I didn’t wear it 2 days in a row, but I did wear it twice within a couple weeks, happened to get photos of both outfits, so I figured why not post both looks together?

This way you get to see how versatile it is. You can wear it with jeans, or…with different jeans.

But you must admit – other than the denim, these are two very different outfits. One I wore to work (casual Friday), and the other I wore to play outside at the zoo. Option 1: concrete jungle. Option 2: actual jungle.

The wide leg jeans are from Madewell, and even though I don’t shop there much anymore since resolving to be more eco-friendly, I still say buy any jeans you really love, and then wear them enough to make it worth the buy.

These Stuart Weitzman pumps, on the other hand, I scored secondhand for twenty-six dollars. If you’re less patient and have money to spare, check out these.

And there you have it. One shirt, two (sort of similar) ways.

Before you ask, no, I did not put a letter to Santa in the mailbox. I’m not that level of cute. I’m only “decorate a few cookies” cute or “hate-watch bad Christmas movies” cute. No matter what level of cute you’re feeling this holiday season, just know that you can be as jolly or as scroogy as you want and it’s OK. I’ve now witnessed how hard this time of year is for people who’ve suffered a loss, and it really sucks. I can’t fix it, but I can remind you to not feel bad for not feeling festive all the damn time.

Switching gears completely, this jacket is an epic consignment store find! It’s a genuine suede jacket from Lafayette 148, perfect condition, that would retail for over $1k, but I got it for just over $150. I mean really.
