Winter Greys


I really really love the color Grey. I love that it can look either utterly elegant or completely schoolgirl casual. In fact I've just picked up a super cute knee-length grey pleated skirt (scholastic in every way and on SALE for $12) along with a fab pair of grey ribbed legwarmers. Yes, legwarmers! Can't wait to wear them!

Furry Moon Boots? Check!

Longtime readers know I'm always jonesing for moon-booty winter-footwear options. This winter, there were no such agonizing (or there will be less agonizing), because I have purchased this year's model. Behold:



Vintage Pajar fur boots, $28 from Goodwill's online auction site. Actually I'm just assuming they are vintage, but I'm positive they are going to rock my socks.

Shopgoodwill.com: worth poking around!

Get the Look: Mrs. Claus

Today I injected a little bit of Santacon into my outfit, enough that my boyfriend was amused enough to grab his camera and record it for posterity. I came into work and have gotten "very festive," "very Christmas-y," and my favorite: "very...Mrs. Claus." So, if YOU would like to take holiday dressing to a borderline-literal level, I recommend pointing your sleigh at the aforementioned Urban Outfitters, where I purchased the piece de resistance of this formidable outfit:



Silence + Noise embroidered buffalo plaid dress, was $68, now $39.99 online, BUT I only paid $19.99 in the store. I went in for holiday cards, I came out with a dress. Btw, no Mrs. Claus is that insanely buff.



Pair it with these Frye "Andrea" belted boots, marked down to $329.99, OR find your own vintage Dexter boots in a giant thrift store in Portland, Oregon, like I did. I mean, you're a CLAUS -- you can travel, and quickly.



Then get these socks from any Target (just not the online one). Arrange them so the fur cuff just peeks out above your boots. Bam! Instant (yet subtle?) Santa boots.



If you want to really push it, get one of those infernal berets that can be slouching atop the heads of every girl south of the north pole these days. This one is the most ridiculous of all, so that's what I'm showing. Urban Outfitters "popcorn" beret, $34.

And away you go!
