21 jumpsuit

 wearing vintage dress, shoes, necklace, ASOS leather jacket, "faux-lenciaga" bag, DIY tassel earrings

Well imagine my utter delight when I was at What Poppy Wants a couple of weeks ago, and found what looked like the perfect 60's Studio 54 approved maxi dress-looking thing was actually a jumpsuit. A JUMPSUIT! What else left to do but don it with fake eyelashes and tassel earrings for a Passover Seder?

Also: I've just mastered the sock bun, which is literally changing my life. My buns were so pathetic and small before, but now I can beef them up with tube socks, trouser socks, or any kind of sock I want! The possibilities are endless...

Sure, Hanukah is nice and all, but there's still something magical about Christmas--from the frantic last minute shopping to the 24-hour back-to-back showings of Elf on TNT to the fact that it's the one day of the year you can get away with not answering irate work emails (dude, it's CHRISTMAS). I loves it.

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday regardless of religious preference, because let's be honest, modern Christmas is really about unplugging and enjoying friends and family and dogs wearing ridiculous costumes.

I'll be showing off my new shit over the next few posts, but the YSL beauties above are my yearly shoe splurge. (See last year's here and the year before that here.) I figure I can afford one exorbitantly overpriced pair of footwear a year as long as I stay in the same tax bracket.

I wish I could remember where I found this picture. I have no idea where it was taken or who this young woman is, but I've been staring at her for the better part of a week just dying to recreate her outfit. Note to self: must purchase a giant, flamboyantly oversized fur hat.
