Hello there! After a few days of feeling mopey about my body, I decided to get all dolled up today! I think we all need those days where we just put on an outfit that makes us feel particularly pretty and happy (though that really should be every day, ideally, I suppose!) So, I put on one of my favorite dresses, some heels, and curled my hair, and darn it I felt cute. I even edited these photos with a "1960's" effect. That's kind of wishful thinking on my part. When I stepped out of the house today with my tripod, I felt a bit like I had actually stepped out of the 60's, into the future. It was a nice way to feel :)
I'll be spending the rest of my afternoon gift shopping (and returning)! Ahh, it's so close to Christmas and I'm still running out and shopping, though I'm pretty much done. I've been crocheting a few gifts as well, which has been enjoyable. Do you guys still have gifts to buy and make, or are you guys all good gifters? :)
Dress: Salvation Army
Shoes: Madden Girl via DSW
Belt and hat: H&M
Until tomorrow,
Nicole
Awwww, well I am glad you are feeling better about yourself today! There is nothing better than such a pretty dress to make you feel good. :) I love it with your black tights and heels, you're just adorable!~ <3
ReplyDeleteAw, YOU ARE ADORABLE. And so pretty. Don't you forget it! I know blogs aren't solely intended or even slightly intended as a compliment-fisher source, but what makes you shine is your amazing personality that shines through your clothes and writing. I would so wear that dress on christmas:) Holiday pretty!

I know that feeling, I just want to put on every pretty thing in my closet. :P
ReplyDeleteI think you channeled the era so well and you look so pretty!
My gifting skills are so-so. I used to be really bad like really bad. But this year I feel really accomplished! I ordered a bunch online and I'm feeling nervous as none of it has arrived yet. I'll probably be grabbing last minutes at the store! haha
You should feel pretty, girl, because you look so hot. I love that dress to death! And... no... I am a horrible Christmas shopper! I just go to one store and wander around and do all my shopping at once, right at the last minute. Lame. But I can never bring myself to do it earlier than the week of Christmas.
ReplyDeletelove your outfit! great dress and your shoes are gorgeous! Totally love your blog by the way!:) Im so happy I ran into it! it's a great read and i love your posts and style:) so i'm gonna follow you!
ReplyDeletehope you visit me and follow me back!
