Wow! I can't believe another year has come and gone! I wanted to take a little time to reflect on 2014, and what a year it was. Last December 31st I was on a plane back to my home in Indiana and this year I am once again living in what's arguably my favorite city in the country: Boston. I did so much this year: got a new job, got a license and a car (finally), sold vintage in person for the first time (and it was a success!), made new friends, turned some old friends into roommates, and started consistently sharing my outfits on this blog. I am such a fan of personal style and love to read other people's style blogs, so here's to hoping that I keep it up with the outfit posts in 2015!

Below are some of my favorite outfits that I shared this year. I really enjoyed going back through some of my old posts and revisiting these outfits. It's funny that some items in my closet seem to appear on here several times: denim overcoat, american flag box purse and light blue 70s button up, I'm looking at you! I guess we all have our favorites haha.

I am very lucky and am off to Florida this afternoon so I will be ringing in 2015 among palm trees! I have been hoarding some 70s dresses that are perfect for warm weather so hopefully there will be plenty of pictures to share in a later post. Have the best New Year's Eve and here's to next year!!

YO! Just a quick little post / PSA about the fact that I am going to be selling my vintage stock in person at Boston Hassle's Black Market flea market this Saturday, Dec 13 at the Cambridge Elks Lodge in Cambridge. The event goes from 12-6pm and is guaranteed to be a blast and a half! This is the 2nd Black Market that they've had and I was a vendor at the first one and it was soooo much fun. If you live in Massachusetts / New England, come on down and hang!

ALSO I got my driver's license today. Praise da lord. So now I can drive myself to this shindig!!! So happy.

FB event is herreeee

XOXOXOOXOXO

This little brown suede mini skirt might be my favorite skirt that I own. I can't say no to a good mini and I have amassed quite the collection including some other suede ones, but this guy here really takes the cake. It's made of the nicest, buttery brown vintage suede and I love the super flared A-line shape. I had actually been looking for a skirt like this for the longest time.... it was one of those thrifting bucket list items, if you will. I found this one back in Indiana at this place called Vintage Vogue which is run by Goodwill but more expensive than a regular Goodwill and organized like a boutique. I had heard that Vintage Vogue was not really worth looking at, but one day I was walking by and figured I might as well just pop in to see what they had. And lo and behold there was this skirt -- on the half-off rack nonetheless. I think I only paid like 7 bucks for it. I swear, the thrifitng gods really spoil me sometimes. I have no idea what I do to deserve all these beautiful vintage items. Do you have anything on your thrifting bucket list? I think I've pretty much found everything I've really wanted!

The rest of this outfit isn't as exciting as the skirt. This blue and white button down I got at Marshalls or something with my Mom to wear on job interviews, but I've actually been incorporating it into my regular wardrobe a lot more than I thought I would. I like how it gives an outfit a structured, preppy vibe without being too overt about it. And the cardigan and boots are two wardrobe staples that have both made appearances on this blog countless times before!

Lately I have been making it a point to really take pride in how my bedroom looks and have been focused on decorating it with things that I love and make it really feel like my own space. For awhile I wasn't sure if I was going to be staying in my current apartment or moving, but I'm staying and two of my best girlfriends are going to be moving in with me next month. Yay! I still have some work to do on the room, but I am really happy with how it's coming along so I took a few snaps to share.
