To: Mr. Garrett Hudson

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!

Heroine

Coat: Banana Republic, Pants: Old Navy, Shirt: Thrifted, Shoes: Land's End, Bow: Handmade, Necklace: Claire's

 If I were a mutant, I would probably have crazy thirfting/discount shopping skills. I thrifted more than half my outfit today. Shoes: $2, shirt: $3, coat: $25. Yes, that's right, a Banana Republic coat for only $25. It was probably originally somewhere between $150-$300. Amazing deal!

 If I had a choice in my ability though, I think I would want to have the power to control the weather, like Storm. She can fly too. Can't go wrong there!

I originally bought this shirt to give to Garrett, but then I decided to keep it because I love love love X-Men. All the movies (as a whole) are in my top 5. So, I sewed in the sides a little and called it my own!

 The lightning bolt necklace was a Christmas gift from my 8 year old niece last year. She's such a sweetheart! I actually wear it all the time. She's already got great style!

If you were a mutant, or a superhero, what power/ability would you have?

New Boots!

Dress: Forever 21, Jacket: Candies, Tights: Target, Socks: Target, Boots: ModCloth

 I am sooo excited about these boots! These were my one Black Friday purchase and my first ever ModCloth purchase. They were 50% off and too perfect to pass up. These are another one of those "the heel is a little too high but I don't really care" boots.

 I would have posted these yesterday, but Cassie, Liz and I were invited to an 80's birthday party (pictures to come!), so we spent too much time getting ready while rocking out to Pat Benatar. :)

Today is a rainy, cold, dreary day. Perfect for staying inside, being cozy, and reading a good book. I'm currently in the middle of the first Game of Thrones. It's so good so far! Are you reading any good books?

Sea-Foam

Sweater: Takeout, Tank: Wet Seal, Jeans: Target, Shoes: Vera Wang, Necklace: Forever 21

  This sweater isn't something I would normally buy (this is another item from the cousin hand-me-down), but now that I have it, it's one of my favorites and is being added to the rotation. Sea-foam green is my favorite color ever. I don't surround myself with it nearly as much as I should.

 At 5ft 6, I am taller than all of my girl friends, except one (I'm lookin' at you Jenna!), and even some of my guy friends. Garrett is even only a couple inches taller than me. So normally, I stick to flats or 1-2 in heels. But when I spot a pair of shoes, mainly boots, that scream perfect and amazing, heel height doesn't matter. I have to have them, so I suck it up and pretend that it doesn't bother me than I'm 8 billion and a half inches taller than the rest of the world. (That might be an exaggeration...)

These are one of those pairs. :)

Pajamas in Public Cont.

Sweater dress: Max Rave, Tights: Target, Socks: Target, Boots: Kmart, Cowl: Betsey Johnson

 Yes, this outfit is basically a rendition of yesterday's. :) It's just so comfy, I can't resist!

 A recent topic of conversation I've noticed on many fashion blogs is tights. I love seeing women's different opinion on tights. Some women save certain dresses for fall/winter to pair with tights because they are too short. Some women hate tights. Others love them! Having spent majority of my life taking ballet lessons, where the standard uniform is tights and a leotard, I'm pretty used to them. I find them much more comfortable than jeans and if you double layer them, they are just as warm!

The guy across the street asked for my autograph! lol.

What are your thoughts? Pro or anti tights?

P.S. My mom bought me this cowl on our mother-daughter bonding day. It's Betsey Johnson. I'm a sucker for anything designed by her!
