Jack Be Nimble

I finally gave in to my seasonal affective disorder and wore an all black outfit. >_< Hehe. It was in the upper 30s and let me tell you, it felt fantastic compared to last week's negative temperatures.
It had rained the night before, so it was humid and there were puddles and slush mounds everywhere. Now, if only the sun had made an appearance, it would be have been perfect and I might not have worn this. ;P

I did use this dull, overcast, but rather temperate day as an excuse to wear my new vintage sweater.
I pined after it for so long--maybe a year? Finally, I received it through my clothing swap group and I've never been happier. It's a Jack Winter sweater and the oversized floral design and reflective threads give it an 80s feel. It's soft and comfy, though I wish it were longer. To compensate for this, I wore these ModCloth high waisted shorts underneath. Worked like a charm! You can barely see them. :D

Picture

I'm also wearing my new ModCloth boots! The ground was icy, but they provided the right amount of grip and they're so comfortable. I have the brown version, which you've seen me wear already. I liked the brown ones so much that I had to get them in black during last year's 50% off sale.
The zippers on the black version are so sticky and really annoying, though. During this little photo shoot, the zipper on the right boot unraveled and my partner had to help me get it re-aligned. I was so disappointed, because I really love them. I have since returned the boots and I hope to buy a replacement soon.

Anyway, I hope you liked this oufit! It's definitely one of my simpler creations and maybe even a little boring, as a result. Haha. Still, the sweater really puts a smile on my face and I think the all-black canvas was appropriate, though I look forward to wearing the sweater with other colors. ^_^

Black does look great on you, and the colorful print makes the look super awesome :) Actually I did think the shirt was vintage [80's] :) xxx

Yeah, I'm seriously bummed. :/ I got the same pair (along with a dark brown version) delivered today from Amazon! It was nice to put my XMAS gift certificates to good use. :D We'll see how they hold up!

wrong, wrong, wrong, dearie. This is not a boring outfit. It is simple and quirky yet hangs off you with the elegance I could never hope to achieve. ;)

There is something so wonderful about being able to rock simple.

Not boring at all, dear! I find there is often brilliance in simplicity. Like letting the colours in the design really stand out! Besides, it's cold and you look cozy and adorable in your sweater! I love the boots in black. Bummer they didn't hold up!

I really need to get in on a clothing swap somehow, that sweater is amazing! I've been wearing a lot of color lately to distract from the depressing winter as well.

I love that you've done all black. It really makes the pastel colored details on the sweater pop! :D

Gutted about the boots! I've already told you my modcloth 50% off sale sob story in one of my other comments so no need to repeat. Good luck finding a replacement pair! There is little in this world that gives more satisfaction than hunting and hunting and hunting high and low for the perfect pair of shoes and then thinking they simply don't exist and then suddenly - BANG! One day you find them. :D Rewards in persistence (or shoe obsession?), my friend.
