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!

First off may I congratulate you on an entire year of not spending any money on clothing??? You are my hero.

I adore this outfit. All the bright cheery colours are wonderful in winter.

Funny enough even though the colour of the hat was wrong it matches your shirt perfectly.

All the best to you in 2015!

bisous

I love how you styled this romper and managed to stay warm :3 The time flying by is also bothering me very much :< And I feel like it flies even faster since I am on the uni *sigh* But what can you do, right :D Happy New Year dear <3

Yeah, I know the feeling. I always felt like I missed out on so much when I was in school, because I was so busy. I never felt like I had any free time, but you'd be surprised at the time you can carve out for yourself if you shuffle things around and change priorities a bit. :D I manage to take some small vacations here and there. I hope next year, you will have more time for yourself! <3

Aww, thanks! They're one size too small for me, so I'm thinking in a couple years I'll have to sell them or give them away. I might as well try to wear them as much as I can before then! :D

So many layers all worn so perfectly and you wouldn't even know! If I tried to layer a dress under shorts there's be lumps and bumps everywhere. The colours are beautiful and I am in love with that coatigan!!

Hehe. It just takes practice! I'm working on a tutorial about how to wear dresses tucked into pants/shorts and how to wear rompers as tops without looking lumpy and frumpy. That will likely get posted later in the Spring. :D

This is so freaking cute and I had no idea you had all those layers piled on! I love the color/stitching of the coatigan- and also that is now my new favorite word ;) I think the orange color of the hat is perfect with this outfit. I didn't know you were on a year long spending freeze- way to go! I did it for 6 months a few years ago and it really shifted my perspective on shopping! Happy new year Anna!
