The first time wearing new pieces is always so fun. You feel all shiny and fresh looking at yourself. This was the debut of both this sweater and necklace from Christmas. They go quite well together, don't you think? I'm still getting used to curling my hair, but my curling wand (reviewed here) is definitely a lot easier than ones I tried in the past. My hair looked better the day after this because the curls were a little looser.

Here is one of my thrifting buys from last month! I got this great colorblock coat for $25 while out with my aunt. It is a little on the small side so I can't wear anything really thick underneath, but it is so soft and in my colors so I couldn't leave it! The great thing about buying all the same colors is you can creae infinite outfits! My closet is full of navy, burgundy and purple with some splashes of other colors. What are "your colors?"

This outfit is nothing special, until you look at the shoes. Sometimes all you need for a great outfit is a killer pair of heels. They instantly make this outfit cooler and it is still, in my opinion, stylish almost 3 years after it's original debut.

The Original

I'm wearing two of my Christmas gifts in this outfit, a cardigan and new top. How cute is this Bambi top with the sequin flowers? I actually had my eye on this when the Lauren Conrad collection first came out but never got around to buying it, my mom read my mind. I was a little on the fence about the cardigan because it's not my usual dark colors. In the end I decided it was too soft to give up and my wardrobe can use a little more brightness!

Who says you can't wear black and brown together? I think this outfit looks just fine and I'm wearing two different shades of brown with my black vest. Although, I guess it could be considered dark gray. Either way, the colors work well together, don't you think? The mild weather we had in December made it possible for me to get more use out of my vests, always a plus! This may be my favorite of my vests because the (faux) fur is so soft!
