How was everyone's Thanksgiving?? I hope you got full on good food and good company. Ours was filled with good Korean food more than American, but still delicious.

Tip of the day: When in doubt of what to wear, wear black with one statement piece. You guys probably already knew that though.

This is what I imagine an eskimo/cowboy lovechild would dress like. It looks like the snow isn't going anywhere this time. I'll have to pump up my creativity with bundled-up outfits because it is starting to wane.

I totally felt like Karl Lagerfeld in this outfit. Especially because of the bow. All I need now are some cut-out leather gloves. And maybe a Chanel bag...or six. And here are my new gold heels! I love them but I love that they were $2 more.

This was taken on Friday. My husband and I met up with a fellow blogger and her husband (for the second time) at a local Korean restaurant, Jang Soo Jang. It was so much fun and we're so glad we met up with them again! That's what I like about blogging - you meet some great people around your area that you otherwise wouldn't have met!!

How do you like my new birthday shoes?? I LOVE them. I still need to break them in so I'm trying to wear them every day. I have wide feet and can only dream of wearing vintage skinny ones! So right when I saw them I knew they were coming home with me. The socks look a little funny though.

I am officially 22 today. It was a nice laidback birthday for me and my husband. All I wanted today was to go thrifting and have the husband all to myself. He is often at school til late at night so I really don't see him very often, but he put school on hold for me today and took me shopping (guilt-free)! I got myself two pairs of shoes and we watched a movie and had a snuggle-fest while eating pizza and cheesecake. Seriously, such a great way to start the week!
Going to the Chapel

This is what I wore to a friend's wedding yesterday. I didn't wear this to the sealing though. I like to change it up and keep things interesting...or I wasn't content with what I was wearing earlier because we were late and I quickly threw things on! I also forgot my recommend but the nice temple workers were able to let me in after a few calls. (Whew!) To learn more about LDS temples, please click here.

This is going to be a quick post. I just came back from a girls night out, which was much needed. I even got my makeup done by a pro. If anyone needs their face done, I have the perfect person for you.
Totally Pinked Out

I'm in the process of creating my Christmas list. I never really shop for clothes online. I prefer the consignment or thrift store so it's weird to think of things I want instead of going to these stores myself and looking for a little treasure for a lot less! What is on everyone else's list? I think I may need some help/ideas...
Animalistic

I felt like Kate Moss with this scarf. Almost. I definitely got stares on campus. I'm not much of an animal print girl. I'm not much of a print girl period, so I wasn't sure how much I could take and thought a scarf would be the best way to ease into it. I also recently got a pair of animal print flats for free so I'm getting there. Do you own any animal print?
Taking Care of Business

under
black blazer,
black jeans,
outfits
This felt very business-y. My work doesn't necessarily require business outfits, just decent ones. I think if I had skinny blue jeans on it would've been better... Does anyone know of any good brands for skinny jeans? I can't afford to buy another pair of J Brands, which would be my first choice... Also, these shoes are NOT comfortable. It was final sale and an extra 30% off so how could I resist?? I should've tested them out more before I bought them.. I guess I do have something to sell to Uptown Cheapskate now.

I taught my first Relief Society lesson yesterday. After being in Primary for a year and a half, it was definitely different teaching adults!
Cowboy Up

under

I definitely felt very western in this outfit. Plaid? Blue denim? Boots?? Yeah...very western. The tunic was a little expensive for me, (Can you tell how cheap/poor I am?!?) but it's a tunic so it is more versatile. That is my reasoning.
Embellished

I LOVE my new ATL top!! especially because of the embellishment of the fabric flowers. It's such a simple design (that many people could DIY) that adds so much to a basic tee. Now I want to do this to all of my tshirts....once I figure out my new sewing machine. Did I mention I'm a horrible sewer? My husband is better than me.... This was the day (Thursday) that I realized I needed brown boots too. Don't you agree? There's too much black going on here.
The Boyfriend Look

under

I broke my rule of opposites - I like to play with proportions (e.g. baggy with tight) but I think this looks too baggy. It looked great on Keri Russell but I'm not sure this fits my petite body. And I'm missing a belt.
The Perfect Boots

under
shopping
My second pair of Miss Me boots cracked again. I'm SO done with them. I'm on a new search now. This is what I'm looking for in my perfect pair of boots:
- pull-on, no zippers
- black AND brown - I realized today I need brown too :).
- knee-high
- fairly flat
- <$100
- not western-like, motorcycle-like, or riding-boot-like but a hybrid of the three
- durable....maybe leather?
- waterproof

This outfit was definitely inspired by Rosa from Love at First Shop. I often peruse my fave fashion blogs to get some kind of inspiration and Rosa's feminine classy style came to my mind. I tried to copy this outfit. I obviously can't pull it off like her... I wish!
Flower Power

yellow necklace
This is probably the third time I've worn this necklace because I frequently get stared at. It's definitely a statement necklace, that's for sure. It was fun to make but it's not fun to see something you made just sit on your dresser. I've tried to incorporate it into my outfits but often changed my mind. But after months of disuse, I had to do something about it. I get compliments on it but you know there are people who stare thinking "Why is there a garden attached to her chest?"
