bohemian rhapsody

Okay, so first of all: I fail. At the different-shoe-every-day challenge. But, to be fair, I also made a pact with my friend Steph that we would both wear our maxi skirts today (because we are in fifth grade), and I had to honor my commitment to my friend over my commitment to myself :) There just weren't any other shoes that would do!! At least they aren't my oxfords.

(maxidress: tjmaxx; tee: old navy; scarf: bargain boutique; hat: tomorrow never knows on etsy; boots: seychelles; belt: goodwill, ralph lauren; earrings: gift)

I got this maxidress at TJMaxx (haha! A maxi from MAXX! ... I can't believe it's only Wednesday...) and it was on my body pretty much all summer. There is something so liberating about long dresses in the sweltering summer heat, not least of which is the ability to go commando (see, I really am bohemian at heart). Not so much in the wintertime, but it's still fun to float around in. Speaking of floating around, it was damn blustery today (and four degrees). This was incredibly obnoxious:



Apparently Mother Nature is also in fifth grade. She likes to grab my hat and throw it around like a lunchbox.

Also notable: I got this hat from the lovely Emily of Tomorrow Never Knows (hi, friend!). I'm not sure why I haven't worn it yet (since I got it months ago), but I think I had really wanted it for fall and didn't order it until almost-winter, so it never made it into my winter-outfit rotation. Anywayyyy... these earrings were a birthday present from my friend who brought them back from Americorps in Arizona. All of my accessories have a bit of a story today! Sorry I felt the need to tell them :)
