But it's not like Christmas at all





Thursdays are my new least favorite days. My work schedule has changed so I work at 5 a.m. Wednesday and Thursday instead of Wednesday and Friday with Thursday off. So it's a double whammy. DOUBLE WHAMMY. And I suck at sleeping so I've been operating on about 4 hours of zzz's each day, which is no bueno. The first day, I can deal with it. The second day, which is today, I am a crabby bitch. Sad emo bitch, too. And hungry bitch. Om nom nom nom cookies. Goddamn you, Christmas.

Anyway. I don't like this outfit. Not at all. It was more of a challenge outfit. I wanted to see if I could actually wear this skirt with buffalo plaid. I can, but I don't think the skirt likes it, as you can see by the its subtle retaliatory move against me (notice: the shittiness of the ruffles). Oh well. Whatevs, skirt. I love you, but I don't have to like you right now.

Christmas is in three days.



Jacket: Target
Shirt: Wal-Mart (oh yeah!)
Skirt, scarf: UO
Booties: Seychelles

  1. Well, I disagree. I do like this skirt with this shirt and this jacket. It's very Christmas-y, too!

  2. Stop being so gorgeous!!!!

    Yep, we make them...but we do them as sticks instead, but its only 1 extra step to make them canes, my mom just prefers sticks, haha...it's pretty easy...just hot and you have to go fast XD

  3. Haha, my "hot date" was spent discussing ancient civilizations and government conspiracy theories over bowls of chili so, not quite how I envisioned it but still good hah. I've never had champagne but since I don't drink soda, my tummy doesn't like bubbly things much.

    Maybe I'm crazy but this outfit would look awesome with a leopard print skirt instead of this ruffled one, imo. I can't imagine having to start work at 5am, much less multiple days in a row, that sucks :(

  7. I think this outfit is cute. I love your skirt with the scalloped ruffles. It's really pretty. That stinks about your work schedule. I'm the exact same way about sleeping!

  10. Ahh your work schedule doesn't sound like fun at all!! I can't function on that little of sleep, I'm such a cranky jerk.
    I actually love the way the plaid and skirt go together. I now REALLY want to put my plaid and lace skirt together now. I hate when outfits don't feel right though. Such a great skirt.
    Merry Christmas love!

  12. My mamma said, if you can't say something nice... *silence*

    But we love you anyway. Truly. What else can explain the fact that every time you post something, dozens of comments appear instantly? You have so many admirers (Guilty, your Honor) that you couldn't drive 'em away with a stick... or an odd outfit. :)

  13. haha, you're funny. I think the skirt quite likes the plaid. :) And 5am? Who works are 5am? Seriously?! WHAT?

  15. Well, I LIKE this outfit just because of the daring, girlie. That scalloped skirt is super cute and the plaid totally toughens the look up. So it's purdy balanced I think. And oh, I totally am following you now. The Cat in the Hat sealed the deal.

  17. What are you talking about? I totally think the outfit is adorable! I like that you mixed the girly ruffles with the man-ish plaid!
    I think you look adorable... if these are the kind of outfits you come up with that you "dont like" how much better must be the outfits you acutally do like! ??

  20. It is clear to me now that you are insane. Not that I didn't know before this post, but it is now all too clear. And this is why........you look gorgeous. When I clicked over here today and I saw that first photo, it took my breath away. Literally, I had to go to the hospital. Well, not really but you know what I mean.

    I then read what you thought and I'm completely puzzled. You look like an angel. And angel with a beautiful outfit.

    You are awesome, amazing, and bat shit crazy. And I say that with all the love in my heart.

    xoxoxo,

  21. OMG, Tracy's comment is so funny, I cannot compete - but I will say, I love this outfit so phooey!

  22. Oh, you. Don't be hating on this outfit so much! You look beautiful! And I really like the contrast of the feminine ruffles and lumberjack plaid. It's really quite awesome. Keep eating those Christmas cookies, they'll make you feel better! Cookies always make ME feel better anyway. That cat picture is crazy cute, by the way. Have a wonderful Christmas!
