Coffee, Cocktails, & Clothes

…the 3 things that keep me going 🙂

I try not to be wasteful, but when your disposable cups are adorable (and they hold your life’s blood, aka coffee), how could they possibly be a waste? You can find these at Target!

One of my favorite recent outfits. It was inspired by a look from Little Blonde Book, but I swapped her t-shirt out for a sweater because, you know, Midwest winters.

Faux leather and plaid: they almost still look sort of good even in parking garage lighting.

I got this tumbler last Christmas and used it for the first time at this year’s Christmas party. Better late than never? It’s been looking super cute in my cabinet the last 12 months though.

I picked up this scarf on my recent trip to NYC. OK, sure, technically it’s from Loft, where I can and do shop on practically a weekly basis. But still, I picked up this scarf in NYC. I’m very worldly.

Yet another decent work outfit that didn’t get a proper photo shoot thanks to limited daylight. Sometimes I have to remind myself that the vast majority of people are not weirdos who take photos of their clothes, and some of them are still kind of productive members of society.

See all my fabulous poorly lit outfit pics as I post them – follow me on Instagram!

The Weather Outside is Frightful

When: a weekend in December // Weather: cold and wet // Real life: holiday errands

I really thought I was smiling (convincingly) in these photos. Alas, my disdain for icy cold rain reads pretty clearly on my face. But with how hideously frigid it’s been the past week, I wish I could go back to cold rain. Sounds splendid.

On the bright side, I discovered this sweater looks a little more flattering with a vest (see it sans layers here).

Anywho, I hope you’re all staying warm and cozy while waiting in long lines at the Post Office. Happy almost Christmas!
