Wearing skirts and tights (single layered) in this -23 degree windchill weather makes me pretty dumb, but the feeling of being "dressed" cheers me up more than being warm does.

| The sewing machine stayed busy today (see messy sewing table for evidence) and made my first-ever bunting for our coming prom. |

Tuesday has been a breeze so far! I started my day earlier than usual, eating a blood orange while farting around on the internet. My shift at work was short (which means less messy), so I chose to wear something a little nicer than usual and even broke out the flat iron and liquid eyeliner. After just three hours behind the counter, I came home with a rosemary bread baguette in one paw and an amazing americano in the other.
Tuesday, you can be real cute sometimes.

| Look! It's the bunting I made! And I'm kinda fancy! And confusing! The flat iron met the bangs, but I prefer to let the rest run free. |
Dress: Thrifted Ann Taylor shift dress. Best winter colors in a super flattering pattern, $3.00
Cardigan: Ages old Old Navy, $7.00ish
Tights: Betsy Johnson, $3.00
Socks: Target. I wish these were thigh-highs like Mona's! $2.00
Shoes: The ol' Justins, $4.38 (these would cost upwards of $200 new and $80 on etsy)
Necklace: Luxe Debris, a very generous gift
Approximate Cost: $20.00 (pretty impressive considering this dress probably cost four times that new!)
You look fantastic--always, but-- in that shift dress especially! The bunting makes me smile for Friday.
