HOME STANDS

1-19-10 1

I think today may be the epitome of my crazy for the week.  And I have to admit, it's going pretty well.  I'm still going to have a bit of upheaval in my schedule over the next couple of weeks, but it will all work out.

Keeping with the theme of the rest of the week so far, I am under-rested and ill-prepared, so today's outfit struck a lucky note when it fell together so quickly this morning.  I scored these Hue tights for $4 a few weeks ago and kind of forgot about them.  Because all of my black tights could walk on their own they're so dirty, I had no choice but to pull these out.  But I'm glad I did, because they're perfect!

I was thinking layered florals this morning.  And also comfy, comfy, comfy.  I think I managed both.

This jacket was an unexpected thrifting steal a while back.  I didn't need another denim jacket, but I couldn't pass this one up.  It was 30 cents!!!  For that price, I thought I would pick it up just to give to someone.  But one I tried it on, I decided it was going nowhere other than my closet.  Because it's a girl's jacket, it's nice and fitted through the torso, but roomy enough in the arms for some serious cuffing.  But why don't Levi's jean jackets have pockets?!  Luckily, my dress does.

  5. Very cute. I am loving the floral mini-dress and boots combo lately. I especially love the happy accident of your tights. I think they're much cooler than black ones.

  7. You know, I've asked myself the same thing in regards to Levi jackets....ha! You look super adorable. That dress reminds me of something I used to own several centuries ago and I remember how special that dress made me feel. Darn it! Never should have thrown it out:)

  8. I was expecting pompoms and cheerleading garb based on your background... Though I usually buck against the coloured tight trend these are the perfect amount of colour but still dark enough to be taken seriously...if that made sense... all the best with the upheaval and life things...xo

  12. Woo!!! You look awesome! One of my faves on you for sure! Chic and comfy. That is what I like! The floral dress gives you such an innocent look but the boots make it a little edgy! And that is such a great price on the denim jacket. I don't think anyone could beat that!

  16. So funny, I have a similar color of hue tights and I wore them twice in one week! shhh.

    Oh and the denim jacket, you can never go wrong, but honestly, I agree why no pockets?

  22. We share a town, Kyla!
    I love this outfit, and the boots look great AND comfortable, which is not something I usually think about over-the-knee boots.
