Borrowed from the Boys

I'm really into wearing men's shirts/sweatshirts as dresses or tunics lately and I like this tied button down underneath to add a little something extra to the look. And I'm excited it's finally getting a little colder here in the bay area and it's becoming more appropriate to wear beanies and faux fur because I looove them. Hello winter (ish).

Shirt/dress: The men's section of Forever21. You can find some other ones here. Underneath shirt: Banana Republic. There's a similar one at Lulus. Faux fur jacket: I got last year at Forever21. Some other fun options that would look cute with this outfit: here, here, and here. Boots: Lulus. I found super similar ones at Forever21. Beanie: H&M. Other options: here and here.

Friendsgiving

My friends and I had Friendsgiving last weekend. And I obviously requested we all get dressed up, because dressing up is the best, DUH. I joked that the dress code was: Fancypants contempo semi formal promiscuous pilgrim, but I actually think I really nailed it on the head.

Dress: I got a few years ago from PacSun. I found a few other velvet dresses here and here. Shirt: Banana Republic, from last year. There's a similar one here. Sparkly Tights: I actually have no idea where I got these gold sparkly fishnets. But, here are some fun ones, and these, and these! Boots: Lulu's. I found super similar ones at Forever21.

Nineties

T-shirts under tank dresses all day.

Dress: Nordstrom. I like this one and this one too. T-shirt: Old Navy. Boots: Lulu's. I found some similar ones here at H&M. Sequin Socks: Lulu's.  

Black & Tan

Skirt: H&M, super similar one here. Bodysuit: Forever 21. Jacket: Nordstrom; I like this one too. Boots: Lulu's. I like these too.

Island in the Sun

This jumpsuit is super comfy and cute. I love the pattern (I've been liking tropical-looking patterns more and more lately). And it comes in tall sizes so it fits me! As far as the sandals, I LOVE STUDS, and spikes and these are just perfect.

Jumpsuit: Old Navy. Shoes: Asos.

Casual Cool

Two new favorite pieces: Jeans + Top. And two old favorites: Shoes + Jacket.

Denim: Gap (I did not get these in a tall size, so they're shorter on me than they would be on non-5'11" human). Top: Topshop from Nordstrom. Jacket: An older one from Nordstrom (and faux leather, of course) Another one I like can be found here. Shoes: Vans. Black Authentics would also work well with this look.

Classics with a Twist

It was a bit windy and my hair was a bit crazy

A few classics: white button down, denim, sneakers, stripes. With a twist: sleevless + tiered, shorts, lime green, giraffe.

Shorts: Levi's 501. Shirt: Banana Republic. Similar here and here. Sweater: Banana Republic, similar here. Shoes: Coach oldies, from like 2005. Similar ones here.

California, Will You Be My Valentine?

I wore this skirt on New Years Eve, and now I'm making it a bit more casual by adding an over-sized sweater, knee high socks, and sneaks. Mini skirts and knee high socks are one of my favorite looks. They're my jam ;)

Also, happy Valentines Day weekend? I guess? Is that a thing? I don't know. I was a little joking with the title, but California may as well be my valentine. To those of you with valentines, good for you, I guess. As for me, I'll be continuing my Valentines Day tradition of watching The Departed (which I've done for the last five years, at least). And this year I also get to add watching THE NEW EPISODE OF THE WALKING DEAD. So, there's always that :)

All of my clothes are older in this post (since I am currently unemployed and have no money to buy new clothes), so I don't have links to them. But if you're interested, my skirt is from Express, sweater is from PacSun, socks are Nordstrom, and sneaks are Converse. Alsooo, I stole the choker from my sixteen year old sister because I had one just like it when I was like 9 or 10 (along with the matching arm band) and I love it too much to give it back to her.
