Shirt: The Limited, thrifted. $1 // Pants: Vintage, free via clothing trade // Shoes: Kenneth Cole, thrifted, $4 // Bracelet: Christmas gift // Scarf and belt: Thrifted, $1 each
Many are feeling refreshed and excited about the clean slate of a new year. I, too, am looking forward to plans for the future but, to be honest, have been in a rut this past week. Hence, the lack of outfit posts. I'm hoping the brutally cold weather is to blame.
As for the outfit, I was thrilled to score these high-waisted, wide-leg trousers at a clothing trade a few months back, but I've had trouble wearing them. While they fit pretty well, they only work with flats, and I don't have many dressy pairs. The pattern mixing (stripes, polka dots and leopard), happened by accident. I feel like all three prints are kind of neutral, and the colors worked together easily.
Hopefully my inspiration kicks in again. My birthday is this weekend, and the fun festivities and special outfit might be just what I need.
P.S. I wore the "Jessica Rabbit" dress for New Year's but failed to get a picture! Maybe I'll re-create the outfit some time.

Cute cute! I love the bow and the blouse.
i love that you paired the stripes and polka dots together. they belong together like peanut butter to chocolate!
Wow, I love that this outfit was worth $6 but you look like you spent well over $100. Awesome job!
And I'm sure your birthday will pull you out of whatever funk you're in! (either that or throw you farther into one, but let's not think of that, haha)
I'm loving how you only spent 7 dollars on the entire outfit! Oh, my thrifty soul hearts yours! Also, the mix of prints is awesome. You look great. !

This is a particularly great outfit, and I love the low light of this photo.

For some reason, I always feel rut-ish this first week of the year. I think it's lack of routine and busyness after the Christmas chaos! x
These pants are stunning! I love them.
The mixed patterns work so well in this outfit! You're right, the neutral tones make a big difference. One of my favorite outfits you've had yet :)
This is such a gorgeous outfit! You look really glamorous and sophisticated.
YOU. LOOK, AMAZING.
i wish i am your sister so i could borrow your clothes. :) :)

I think you are out of your rut! This look is amazing!
I love leopard as a neutral too. These slacks look great!
I can see your wrists! Why are you so naked? It's going to be 0F tomorrow in Lawrence. Hope you and your puppy survive!
I absolutely love this.
