vintage leather jacket, nordstrom boots (forgot brand), american apparel skirt
Some pictures we took today... I mainly dressed for comfort but I wanted to show this cute jacket I got for $10ish off of etsy last winter but never got to wear. I'm 99% sure it's not real leather but I still love it. 
I tried to take some pictures of our beautiful photo location but none of them turned out the way I imagined it to in my head...there's something about that wire gate dipping into the serene water that just fascinates me.
Just letting off a little rant here: I keep getting press releases about events in the middle of the weekdays and/or requiring an entry fee of around $80...and then people wondering why I don't show up. Well, I'm kind of in school, working 2 jobs so I don't really have much free time...and if I've got $80 it's going to slightly more dire things like electric bills, textbooks, new laptop, and food. The only events I really miss are the blogger get-togethers that I've always enjoyed, but I just really don't have the time or energy to even attend those right now. Thankfully Christmas break is around the corner....
PS. I read you guys' comments in the post from earlier today and now I'm obsessed with the idea of going to the craft store to buy elbow patches and sewing them on every sweater/blazer I own...boyfriend thinks I'm crazy and maybe he's right. Maybe it's the engineering geekiness slowly seeping in...pretty soon I'm going to start thinking pocket protectors are SEXY. Maybe?

  9. Love the combo. I love how you have been styling this cream skirt in so many great ways I would have never thought. The jacket is great especially at that price.

  12. That skirt is so dreamy! I've been obsessed with maxi skirts these days, not only because it's so trendy but also because my legs are covered in awful flea bites. Love how you wore it with an edgy jacket!

  14. That's SUCH a good idea about the DIY elbow patches. Sadly I am waaaaay to lazy and inept at customising to probably ever get round to it, but in theory its brilliant. I love how you've combined a feminine maxi skirt with fierce leather jacket and rustic lace-up boots for a unique take on winter style. Great post as always, and I feel your pain re the invitations that expect you to pay, so irritating. X
