Hello!
It's hard to believe that it's actually kinda warm here, while Jen is in winter wonderland on the other side of the country. I took these photos on Monday before the storm. It's been raining pretty hard today. While I have accepted that it'll never snow here in Southern California, Mother Nature should at least let me able to layer a little bit this Winter. I have this insatiable craving for scarves and knit hats. Jen also inspired me to buy a pair of maroon tights to style on my own. I got this top and these tights at the J Crew outlet in Vegas. Robert and I were at $88; and if we spent $100 we got an additional 20% off, so basically I got these tights for free since they were $12. They have become my new favorite tights. You may think this striped top is familiar, and that's because it's the blue version of my minty green one. I seriously think my closet is only so abundant because I buy everything in multiples! Actually most of my striped tops have a fraternal twin. Is this...normal? Please just keep me in the dark and say yes.

So these are my long awaited new pair of shoes! I'm pretty sure Robert got sick of my obsessing over them, so he bought them for me for my birthday :) When they came, they were a bit small so I had to exchange them via mail, but they're finally with me now and I love them. But they're already scratched after just a day at work. I think I'll be saving these for special occasions. And so my search for everyday shoes continues...!

I don't have any plans for New Year's Eve yet, sadly. Do you?

Until next post,
Jasmine

  3. Those shoes are ADORABLE! I don't blame you for obsessing over them. And your maroon tights are awesome! I bought a pair when the Bloomingdale's in downtown first opened (crap that was like 4 years ago) and haven't found an occasion to really wear them. But I love how it looks with your flats so I must try it with beige or tan soon :)

  4. Bow belt, bow shoes...so cute! I always tell you that I need a bow belt and I have yet to find one. Bah, there just needs to be an H&M in Austin already!!

    Anyways, you look super cute and of course it's normal to have multiples of certain items in your closet ;]

  5. Girl, those shoes are SICK! (To use a term that only people ten years younger than me ever use, which makes me an OLDIE but not in a way that I mind!) I love your flats with all my heart! It's rough finding a pair of good walkable flats that you don't mind getting a little scuffed. Right now there are some really cute green and purple suede oxfords on sale at Zara (at least in NY!) Maybe you'll find some there!

    This new years eve I'll be staying in, as my sister and boyfriend are coming over for a night of mini pizzas and board games. Quiet, but I think I like it that way :)
