Feeling ready to DANCE. I really loved being so free and casual. Gaga's braid hairstyle that I copied was surprisingly easy to execute, really really cute on and insanely secure. Kept my hair out of my face and did not budge an inch through a whole night of drinking and dancing my ass off. Flats at the club is a GAME CHANGER idk why I've been so resistant to it. I adored not being in excruciating pain. I'm really growing up, huh? Also, having my makeup done by my best friend for the first time felt really special. Nights like these are really what life is all about.

Occasion rainy office workday
Clothes Fitted vintage 70s tan long-sleeved button up with a super pointy collar and a funky (kind of insane) red, white, grey, brown and orange print I'll do my best to describe: thin brown lattice lines with grey, red and brown abstracted flowers at some intersections of the lines, white blobs presumably representing leaves at the others, with the head of a lady wearing a cloche hat in the spaces between the lines. This worn untucked over a black mini skirt with covered buttons up the side, worn over black tights.
Outerwear Trench-colored somewhat cropped peacoat with big black buttons
Accessories everyday silver crystal butterfly necklace, silver dangly flower earrings, brown relaxed hobo bag with rainbow sequins
Shoes Dark burgundy patent doc marten ankle boots with thick matching ribbons for laces, tied into big obnoxious bows, worn with black scrunchy socks.
Hair Slick back high ponytail with a black ribbon tied around the base. Bangs pinned up into a slight little bump in the front so I don't look like an egg.
Makeup none besides upper lashline lined with brown shadow and a few swipes of revlon's goldpearl plum lipstick. No more full face at work yall I am tired.
Feeling relieved I came up with something fun to wear. It was tricky getting dressed this morning because it's not as cold today as it has been and it threw me for a loop. I was also late because I tried on several different shirts before landing on this one. I feel chic and like I look like absolutely nobody else :)

Feeling quite warm, thankfully, and cute in a relaxed and casual way. I've been wearing the heck out of this grey sweater. This is my second time this week and probably the 10th since I bought it at Goodwill literally 2 thursdays ago. It's also the second day in a row I've worn this black skirt which was purchased on the same shopping trip. I've had these boots for like 5 years at this point and I go back and forth between loving and hating them. I'm glad to be in a phase of loving them again. They've served me well and have years of life left in them still. The argyle tights take the outfit from millennial mundane (no offenseeee i swear) to cozy cunty af.
