K. and I are back with another installation of What We Wore! We're only a bit ridiculous.
I want to thank everyone who left comments of support on Saturday. I hate whining and I hate when weeks pile up like that, so I wasn't a fan of dumping about it on my blog, though it is my blog, after all. I try to keep AC as positive as I can, but it's certainly not the easiest. I'm happy to say that things are turning around--I got my tattoo (a post specifically about that is forthcoming!), I had a great trip to Asheville with my friend S., and I'm going to Ohio (?!) this weekend for a bonspiel. So life is looking up a bit.

Also, below is this week's inspiration for Style Imitating Art. So, so excited for this one!


Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth
1948, tempera on gesso panel

The Wyeth family is near and dear to my heart; I was exposed to the Brandywine School from a young age because I grew up not far from Chadds Ford, and I love the stippling and use of line rather than blending as shade. Christina's World is a really iconic painting, and I'm so looking forward to it. Our outfits will go up next Monday, and if you're interested in participating, you can email me your look too. It'll be fun, I swear.
I'll see you tomorrow!

Bugged

Prnted top: JCPenney
Tank: TJMaxx?
Shorts: Walmart
Flats: Target via eBay



Yeah there's a hole in my shoe. I don't care! I love these shoes. I'll sew it up.

Please ignore the fact that my shorts are the same colour as my legs. Hopefully it won't be this way forever. (It probably will.)



Gosh don't you just want to cut that one piece of grass right down? What a jerk.

I spent too much time tonight with coworker T. eating bacon and letting her take pictures of my sunburned chest. Yay for Tuesday nights!

I was nearly eaten alive by gnats taking these pictures. I know tall grass is pretty but I think from now on I'm going to stick to urban decay. Way fewer flesh-eating bugs.

Tomorrow, y'all! See you then.

Make do or do without

Sweater: JCPenney
Pants: JCPenney
Socks: Walmart
Wedges: Show Carnival

I love this sweater that my mom gave me for Christmas. I thought I wouldn't and I actually didn't on the hanger, but I really like how it looks on me. Patterns can be a bit of a fight but this top is pretty fantastic. It's also warm without being bulky, which is perfect under a winter coat.



These pants are also new but long overdue in my closet--I've been meaning to get a pair of khaki pants that fit for a while. They are wrinkly because I wore them all day at work! They're very, very comfortable though, which makes me want about 20 more pairs.



And I'm still not sure how I feel about my darker hair. Winter and all, my hair's supposed to be darker, but I miss the red!

Did the holidays fill any gaps in your closet?
