Old: The town of Vincennes, Indiana, which was founded in 1732, making it one of the oldest European settlements west of the Appalachians. Everything there is adorably historical and/or retro. I wouldn’t live there in a million years, but it’s nice visiting Kristin’s extended family for holidays once in a while.

New: This sweater, which Kristin got me for Christmas because she’s awesome. And this bag, which I got myself because I too am awesome.

I’ve been backlogged on outfit photos for a couple weeks now, and for the most part I’ve been posting them in order of when I wore them. But today I’m going to skip a work outfit and show you a look from last weekend instead. Something tells me your Wednesday needs some leather leggings and bright colors in it. Am I right? Of course I am.

Mustard yellow is one of my favorite colors and I haven’t been wearing it as often as I used to. I’ve had this jacket for a few years, and I got it because (1) it’s mustard yellow, and (2) it reminds me of something Michael Jackson would wear. And clearly MJ should be the driving force behind all important life choices. For example, I decided to be born in August because Michael was too. I might not have been born in Indiana like he was, but I made my way here eventually. #twinsies

Speaking of birthdays, Michael and I lost the birthstone lottery. Peridot? Yuck. But personally (and I think I speak for Mr. Jackson as well), I don’t care what my birthstone is supposed to be. I’ll wear whatever gemstone I like. It just so happens that this month’s birthstone (one of them, anyway) is citrine, a lovely orange stone that screams fall.

So when Anjolee offered to make me a gemstone eternity band, I went with citrine! I’ve already worn it 3 times. It’s so light and comfortable and adds a little sparkle without being too glitzy and fancy. Of course, if glitzy and fancy is what you’re after, Anjolee can make you a diamond eternity band, too. A single sequin glove would do the trick as well.
