Cozy winter wear for a snowy day! I’ve realized that I don’t really like wearing jeans or normal “pants” that much. If I can wear super comfy tights and get away with it outside the house I do! I’m all about comfort and spend must of my time in jiggers (those are sweatpants for those not in the know) or onesies!, And I usually feel like leaving the house is such a hassle because I have to put on uncomfortable clothes — but, just like every winter when lots of layers is a must and my flare ups are at an all time high, tights + skirts/dresses = my best friend!
Sweater dress is from giant tiger.
Tights are from ebay.
Leg warmers are from buycostumes.com
Plus I got a hair cut!! Thanks to Ashley for giving my hair mad style yo!!! The shortness is actually a welcomed surprise! It was time to get rid of the crispiness from all the dying I do and start 2012 with some fresh locks! Yes, the color is horribly faded, but that will hopefully be freshened up before the new year too! As per Ashely’s advice (seriously the only gal I trust with my hair!), I’m going to give my hair a break and just use dyes that don’t include any lifting agents (which means it will be manic panic type dyes all the way)! … it will also be a time of me having to embrace my roots lol. This is what hibernating for the winter is all about though right? Ashely gave me some new purple dye to try (can’t remember the brand right now – I’ve never used them before) and I’m excited to see what happens! fun fun fun

We had a big family gathering to celebrate the holidays so what better time to break out my ugly sweater outfit!
The dress is from repurposeful punk on etsy. The rest is just from my stash of random bits and pieces I’ve picked up throughout my travels.

The last few days have been rainy, dull, and dreary. When getting ready to go to
the Met, I decided I needed some color.. ok, lots of color! It’s kind of funny because I’m a bit Jekyll and Hyde about my sense of style and motifs I’m drawn to. I LOVE bright pastel, rainbow colors, but also can’t get enough of black, skull covered halloween inspired palettes. Rather than thinking of these two diverse interests as an indentity crisis, I like to think I’m well balanced – enjoying both sides of the spectrum.
So usually do a run down of where I got everything but this outfit was put together of old and new pieces that I got from random shopping events. The sweater dress is the newest piece and I got that in the states over the weekend at a mall (I can’t remember the name of the store), but it was on clearance at the very back of the store! I couldn’t believe it when I found it! The belt is from ebay. And the leg warmers are from
McCulloch’s in London, ON. The shoes I’ve had for well over 8 years – they too were a clearance mall find but in Canada. Actually, come to think of it, the jacket (you can see a bit of it in the second picture. I’ll try to get a better picture of it from my pal Sarah) was on clearance about 5 years ago too! haha. This outfit was one of the cheapest outfits EVER and yet it got a lot of attention! Almost too much attention… I’m used to standing out in a crowd due to my hair but so not used to people actually coming up to me to stare at the knitted work that went into something I’m wearing. It would have been very flattering if I had made the sweater dress lol.
UPDATE: Here’s a picture i mentioned above

I’ve decided to jump on the “what I wore” bandwagon (yes, I’m always late to the party haha). I don’t know how frequently I’ll post in this category as I don’t leave the house much (I work from home!). But, I figured since leaving the house is usually the only time I put any thought into what I’m wearing (and I actually get out of my onesies), it’s something to document!
This picture was taken in the Fall.
Here’s what I’m wearing:
Tights (had them so long I can’t remember where they came from)
Spider web necklace (my wedding necklace!) from
beat black

Nothing too exciting but I wanted to start getting in on the “what I wore” project and there was no better time to start than while I was at the market this weekend.
Jeans – from the Western Fair! (betcha didn’t see that coming!)
Hoodie – gifted to me
Shoes – black & pink pumas
Apron – made by momma batty!
Well I stayed up way too late today .. it’s already past noon! Eep! I should have been in bed around 6 or 7am! Have a great afternoon!
