What I'm Wearing: Playing with Silhouette



Striped sweater: Hebron gap outlet
Loose off-white sweater: Thrifted
Grey layering tank: Tezenis, ages ago
Jeans: H&M
Thick thigh-high socks (not seen, but helping to keep me warm): Forever 21
Shoes: Steve Madden
Jewelry: silver rhinestone necklace (found at a Cypriot flea market), gold ballerina necklace (a gift from my parents in high school), wedding rings




It is another COLD day, so layered sweaters were in order this morning. I've been trying to experiment with different silhouettes lately (not that I don't love my usual 'slim&belted,' but sometimes a little variety is in order). With that in mind, I grabbed a big thrifted sweater and tucked it into my skinnies (the same ones I wore on Friday - the core pieces of my casual wardrobe tend to get recycled pretty quickly when I'm not regularly dressing up to teach). I didn't expect to be a big fan of the look, but I think it's growing on me. I'm definitely going to do some more playing with tucking big-into-slim.


PS - using the word "skinnies" made me think of Daddy Likey's hilariously awesome post on irony creepers. I nearly LOLed my drink all over my computer upon reading that last night. Yes, both "skinnies" and "LOL" are irony creepers for me.


PPS - holiday yarn decoration tutorials are coming this afternoon!

I moved my coffee well away from the laptop when I went to read that.. it's hilarious.
I've gotten into layering as well these days with all this snow we've got. Multi layers of socks, sweaters, scarf, hat, 2 pairs of mitts etc.

Can't wait to see the tutorial!

Thanks, everyone! Good call on the coffee, Aislynn - Daddy Likey is hilarious. Carrie and Sarah, I love my ballerina necklace too! I might not dance anymore, but I can still pretend.
