comfort creature









thrifted cardigan, thrifted dress, F21 tights & necklace, Kelsi Dagger "Fortune" wedges,DIY wrap bracelet


This outfit is the product of me rolling out of bed, showering and throwing whatever felt comfortable. I usually tend to go for jeans,  but my polka dot tights were begging to be worn with this long dress. This dress is so fun and the length is perfect because I don't have to worry about it being too short when I sit or showing my bum when the wind blows!

I bought this bracelet as a necklace and it was on clearance--I should have questioned why it was on sale but I couldn't pass up the deal! It was actually too short to be a necklace. Luckily, both ends had lobster clasps, so I wrapped around the chains and linked them together and voilà--a chain bracelet!

This just goes to show--don't give up on something because it doesn't work how its supposed to, change it to work for you!

I'm getting use of all my winter sweaters (I also thrifted this one for $2.50) and this one puts me in the holiday spirit! My favorite part of the holidays is finding gifts for all my loved ones, its such a fun thing to shop for others--especially when you have younger siblings! 

Hope you all are having a lovely Tuesday!

  8. Great cardigan and tights and I love your whistle necklace. I too am in the middle of Christmas shopping for my family- my little brothers and parents are easy to buy for, but my little sis is a tough one!

  9. Wow that looks like the world's perfect outfit combination of comfort and style...I just want to curl up in the sweater, but the shoes and black skirt/tights keep it from getting too grandma-y, and the skirt is just the perfect length!! Fashionista, you've got amazing style! I am an excited new follower! http://thearcenciel.blogspot.com/

  14. Ah, can I just say that you are SO classically beautiful? I feel like you belong in... I don't know, the classically beautiful club? Okay, I'm sounding ridiculous.

    I'm loving this look - sometimes the "I just rolled out of bed" outfits are the best... and the most comfortable!

  69. I am absolutely in love with this outfit. hard to believe this is a just rolled out of bed outfit. I love everything which looks a bit like a norwegian knitwear so you immediately won wearing this sweater. but it's your combination which wowed me. The length of the dress is unexpected and paired which the wedges the dress has such a modern appeal.
    Big, fat LIKE!
