A summer/spring dress and a romper in the winter? Yep! >:D Breaking all the rules. How you like me now, fashion gurus? How you like me, now? Haha. I hope the gurus are very annoyed and lose sleep.

I never thought I would be able to wear this multi-color vintage dress in the winter, but I found a way. :D I just wore a thermal top and a long sleeved top underneath. That seemed to do the trick. Then, I wore two pairs of fairly thick tights and
stuffed all of that into a rather form fitting romper. I don't know how I managed to avoid looking like a sausage. o_O O_o The navy coatigan worked well with the overall outfit, I think. It also kept me super warm. ^_^ My cat ripped out the shoulder of the coatigan and I freaked out, because I have many plans for this little beauty. It can't die, yet! >_< So, I took it to a seamstress and she did a wonderful job. I'm too lazy and inept to do such repairs myself. :F~

The pumpkin colored hat is from my sponsor, Oasap, and it retails for $5.90. The hat I ordered was supposed to be a warm, bright yellow. Instead, I received this hat, which confused me. The thing is, I didn't pay for it, so I guess I don't have standing to complain. I just made the best of it, like I would normally do (unless the mistake was really, really bad or there were significant defects). Maybe this hat was part of a bad batch, but just be aware that if you order the yellow hat, you might not get a hat of that exact color. Fortunately, I'm OK with this light orange version and I think it will get a lot of wear.

I can't believe this is my final post of the year. o_O For some reason, whenever December rolls around I find myself thinking: 'F*ck. Is it really the end of the year, already?' This prompts me to go through my picture albums in an effort to assure myself that I made the most of the year. Heh. I always get anxious thinking about all of the things that I still want to do and wondering if time will just fly by before I get a chance to cross them off my bucket list. *sigh* Nevertheless, I look forward to what the next year will bring and I'm super stoked that you guys will be right there with me, week after week. ^_^ <3

Thank you for reading my blog and for always being so kind. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year's Eve and a very happy new year.
P.S. - My yearlong spending freeze is almost over! Yay!

Hey! Merry XMAS, bros! :D Admittedly, I wore this outfit several days prior to this, but whatever. Haha. ^_^ I thought today would be a good occasion to share since this is colorful and quirky and whatnot.

Picture

So, once again, I'm not feeling super duper confident about what I've done here. Magenta, red, yellow and blue seemed like a good idea in my head, but when I finally put the colors together, I was like... o_O O_o Haha. Holy hell, that is bright! Then I went whole hog and added houndstooth pants just to be really annoying. :D I'm sure this outfit bothered a lot of people. The only thing that bothers me, though, is whether the colors really work together. I won't hash it out
ad nauseam like I did in my previous post, though. I'll spare you! Haha. I'll just give it some thought and make some notes, later. ^_^

Picture

So, these houndstooth pants are really fantastic and I'm super stoked to have them. I got them in a clothing swap and when I received them, they were much too big in the waist. I was pretty devastated, but I saved my pennies and took the pants to a seamstress who I absolutely trust. I asked her if she could make the pants more fitted and high waisted and she did a really amazing job!  ^_^

I'm looking forward to wearing these pants in even more annoying ways. Muahahaha. :D The rest of the outfit is remixed. I hadn't worn the braided blue elbow patch sweater in forever, so this outfit offered a wonderful excuse. It was one of my first ever purchases from Oasap. Click here to see how I last wore it. The bright pink coat is something that I wasn't sure about when I first got it, but then it slowly grew on me. It has become one of my favorite coats. Click here to see how I wore it in February of this year.

The red pom pom hat is from my sponsor, Oasap. It's pretty decent considering that it's only $5.90. I really, really wanted a red winter hat and now I finally have my first one. ^_^ I think I will try to get it in other colors. I probably wear my cat hats a bit too often. Hehe. It's nice to have a little variety. Though, I think these hats make my head look like a melon. Or...maybe it's the other way around? Haha. I *do* have a big head. >_<
Oh well. So, I haven't opened any gifts, yet. For some reason, I find all kinds of excuses to delay that bit. Haha. I'm weird. Anyway, I hope this post has you in good spirits! I'm looking forward to eating way more than a single person ever should and playing drinking games. :D

Every year, my partner and I have this tradition of watching random episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. We're dorks, you see. Haha. It's one of our favorite shows, though. We must have watched the whole thing like four times through, already. Anyway, we devised a pretty awesome drinking game
that we like to play while we watch. *shrug* That is what XMAS means to me: eating lots, drinking tasty bevs, snuggling and being totally lame with someone who loves you. So, here's to being lame! <3
