GET ME DRESSED // 002


getting dressed for a date or a somewhat formal event in the colder winter months can be a bit of a challenge. you want to look seasonally appropriate and warm, but not like a sherpa. my little sister is getting married in december, and finding a wedding-appropriate dress that will keep me warm outside for long periods of time without looking ridiculous in photos (photos photos photos!) has become a project and a half. 

i found the sweater dress at need supply and it's sort of made my life complete (it's since sold out). it's a hug in clothing form. not to mention it happens to have zero shape to it, which is a-ok by me. what is it with me lately? i love dresses shaped like potato sacks. they're all i want to wear.


this dream catcher necklace is a new favorite. it was a gift from Penh Lenh, a jewelry line in partnership with Abolition International, empowering Cambodian women to free themselves from former hardships, realize their dreams, and become whole again. it's a great cause, the pieces are beautiful, and i love the opportunities i've gotten to help get the word out for causes like this whenever i can.

  3. I'm addicted to gray and black (forgotten white also exists) so imagine my coming out, Natalie!
    But really let's not get carried away here, I just need one colour at the time to consider myself dressed. We don’t want crazy, do we? ;) xxx

  6. Love the dress and tights and the boots. And heck, I like the tattoo also. I wrestle constantly with the quandary of whether or not to get "inked" myself. Especially since it's kinda frowned upon in the church. oh well, I will probably do it anyway.

  12. I want to kiss those sheets every time I see them! You have probably told the world already, but where are they from? Also, this hat is not a mistake like most hats are. Hooray for good head wear.

  15. partially off-subject question: your little sister's wedding is back on?! yay! (I hope?) If you already covered that I must have missed it. Either that or I'm a wee bit confused!

  17. loving this series! can't say no to a great pair of tights! :)

  18. Oh, I think I want about 75 of these tights and leggings. Question: do they run true to size? I wear a 4, sometimes a 2, and am worried if I get a small they'll be tight around the butt and thighs (esp the leggings). Also, if they only come in S, M, etc I can't see me wearing the same size as you, since I'm 5'6" and 120 Lbs and you're not... and I'd wager I weigh like 15 lbs more than you at LEAST. Crap, probably like 20, LOL.

  22. Wow, I like the whole set. It's so simple but I can't take my eyes off of it)) I like color tights too. Actually,the first post on my blog is dedicated to mustard tights)) http://www.mslingva.com/2014/10/h.html
    I also combine them with white socks when I put my Converses on. Your idea of matching mustard and grey is interesting. I'll surely try it too)
    Best regards,

    Alice (Mslingva)
