Guuuuurrrrrrl, you just made it to the new year! Woo! Haha. That's right. Still alive and kickin'. Celebrate! I wish I could just get on my hover board and do laps around the block. It's too cold, though. I don't want to freeze my face off. :F~ I got a collar for my cat that lets me hear her thoughts. I was all about it until I heard the things she thought about when she believed we were asleep at night. o_O Thank Zeus for 30 day hassle free returns, am I right? I will be extra nice to her, this week. Hehe.

OK. In all seriousness. Get serious. Jet packs. Shouldn't we f*cking have those, already? I mean, come on, bro. Wtf is the hold up? Last year, Russia was all about sending a bunch of sexing geckos into outer space. Priorities. It's 2015! We should be jet packing up and down and all around this bitch. >=|

You know, it'll probably happen when I'm too old to have any fun with the invention.
No one is going to want to let this old bag of bones go anywhere near that kind of high powered device. I can't blame them. I would surely die and take at least half a dozen poor souls with me in the process. Fun sh*t like this is supposed to be wasted on the young. I'm still relatively young, so hurry up already. Dammit. >_<

Can you tell that I've had coffee before writing this? ;D Mmm.. Sweet, sweet nectar of heart palpitations, thoughts of defenestration and novel ideas. Fashion! What have we got going on here? Let's see. I'm wearing my super awesome, potentially ugly (but beauty is in the eye of the beholder) vintage floral sweater. <3 Love this sweater, man. I got it from Barter's Closet. A start-up company that sought to help people buy and sell used clothing and give clothing to charity. The company briefly sponsored my blog, but it seems to have disappeared. I hoped that they would succeed, but as I'm sure you all know, it's really, really hard to start a business. =/ I still wish them all the best. The owner is a stand-up guy.

Picture

The only other notable piece that I should mention is the cozy oatmeal braided cardigan. I received it from my sponsor, Oasap, and it retails for $44.00. You're probably tired of hearing that, but it's incumbent upon me to tell you when I receive a gifted item. I just feel like I need to do that. Plus, I'm sure Oasap will get tired of me any day now and drop me. So, don't worry. Heh. Already bracing myself.

So, I really, really wanted the cardigan when I first saw it. In the product photos, it looks much longer than it actually is, but I am 5'9". It still covers my behind, but just barely. If you're shorter than me, it will be mid-thigh for you (which is what I had wanted *sigh*). I bought the Size Large thinking/hoping that it would be over-sized. Instead, you can see that it is quite form fitting, though I did stuff a thick, wool sweater underneath it. Hehe. So..yeah. It's warm enough to wear without a coat on a relatively mild winter day. Also, the stand-up collar keeps my non-swan-like neck (more like a chicken neck, I believe) nice and toasty. ^_^ I hope to wear the cardigan often in the Spring. I have lots of ideas in mind. :D

And that's my long-winded, mostly off-topic, first post of the year!
Hope you like the outfit! *^_^*

I love PB&J! :-) and that sweater of course. I think it's funny that you talk about sponsors dropping bloggers (or in this case, talking about yourself). It's something bloggers don't talk about very often, but it's charming that you do! Keep it real. ;-)

I want my effing jet pack ASAP!! I'll join you in your fly-by's if you don't mind an old biatch cackling beside you. Your post made me laugh. I wouldn't want to start the new year any other way.
I lost you in my feed somehow. After rooting around my trough I have found you again and am properly bloglovin' you now.

I really like this outfit- it reminds me of a grandma's couch (which is a compliment.)

Oddly enough, they have actually invented working hoverboards. They will be for sale soon (or are already, I wasn't quite sure of the time line). I was it on a site similar to Kickstarter...

I was hoping for more of a ski lodge chic kinda deal, but I've never been skiing or stepped foot in a ski lodge, so... Haha. There goes that.

That's one awesome cardigan, my friend. I also love a sweater or jacket that covers the behind area. I have what my husband calls "thermal inertia" - where my large derriere gets very cold and takes forever to warm up again. Hence my love for long warm things. Happy new year to you.

Hahaha. "Thermal interia." We may suffer from the same ailment, friend. Indeed. <3

It's so sad that the company didn't work out, specially since the printed sweater is so cute! Love the knit cardi too! I have the opposite problem of you, when I try buying longer cardigans they end up near my ankles since I'm so short lol. Oh the struggle

Hahaha yeah. There's always something about being short that will seem more desirable and there will always be similar yearning about being taller. The grass is always greener, right? :P

Happy New Year....and that vintage jumper is adorable. Upcycling is a great idea so I too hope more of the independent vintage businesses will succeed in this economy.

I just got two more floral vintage sweaters in and one of them also has fruits on it. Haha. I can't wait to style them. I'm going to have so many sweaters to give to charity when I kick the bucket. o_O <3
