poncho love

Lately I have been experiencing some serious poncho fever, thankfully though I’m not the only one though because I keep seeing more and more to buy! I got this very cool one a month or so ago from Pixel 19 Vintage, and I am dying to find another in earth tones.

Since Cincinnati weather is the most unpredictable thing ever, it actually ended up being a pretty chilly day and I was cold all day. Oh well…

It was the perfect opportunity to rock my new red knee socks though.

red alert

I have been trying to keep from shopping too much, so I allowed myself to spend a little at a recent trip to Fashion Cents and picked up this number. I don’t usually go for tan items, mostly because I forget how well it matches everything else. So I was pleasantly surprised when I started playing around with it and some of my accessories. This particular outfit I just kind of threw together so I could wear my red tights. Alas, right after I took these my puppy jumped up on me and ripped a giant hole in the leg. C’est la vie. That’s why I absolutely cannot justify spending any more than $10 on a pair of tights.

I love this little camera! If you look into the viewfinder, this is what you see, and every time you click the shutter, a new animal comes up. I’m kind of surprised that these came out this well.

I’m especially stoked about this dress because it completes my girl scout uniform Halloween costume! I blatantly stole the idea from Calivintage‘s costume this year, and as you can see her execution was totally perfect, per usual for Erin. I’m obviously channeling this costume already with my shoe choice!

Jeans? Again? I know, I know. But I like this whole ensemble a lot, I really love the color palate. This was also a bit of a special occasion because I can fit into my high-waisted jeans again! I always gain a bit of weight in the winter (who doesn’t) but I had sadly gotten to the point where I couldn’t really wear these guys comfortably. Although due to the giant pile of laundry I have yet to do, I didn’t have any other clean jeans so I tried them on and VOILA!
