socks + tights

I love my outfit today. My room-mate always makes fun of me because my clothes are extremely wholesome. She is from the Netherlands and said that there is a church back home called the Black Stocking Church, who all wear really modest clothes. She said I should join, but that's pretty far to go for church. I would have a continual case of jet-lag and I'm just not prepared for that ;) If any of you watch/have seen Will & Grace, she is Karen and I am Grace.

It has been a really long time since I wore a dress [this one has pockets!!], months probably. I should definitely wear them more often, so easy to get dressed in the morning.

Layer Up!

Do you remember those horrible awful, slouchy black boots in my last post? I do. [unfortunately] Well, lucky for me, I have a fabulous mother and she bought me a new pair of boots. They aren't even fabric! Anyway....

I have seen the trend of tights and knee high socks for a long time now. Loved it since I first saw it. Strangely, though, I have never worn it. Well, yesterday after freezing my tootsies [spell check says tortoises] off, I decided to layer up this morning.

Mental note: TOMS are not acceptable footwear in the middle of January. They are now banished to my closet until spring shows its lovely face [hoping--quite delusionally--for March].

Also, I decided to change up my scarf tying abilities. Thanks to Jessica over at What I Wore, which is a fabulous blog I assure you.
