We've still had a few chilly days here and there so I've been able to wear some of my lighter, non-full sleeve sweaters. I wasn't in the mood to wear all of my rings on this day so I wore one that was passed down from my paternal Grandmother. It's a really intricate ring with 4 opals and a tiny ruby in the middle. I don't wear it too often because a) it doesn't go with the rest of my rings since it's gold and b) I'm afraid to lose or chip it.

For some reason this outfit looks a bit too loose for the re-wear. But it is comfortable and a fun Fall combo so I'll let it slide! I still could have worn this without tights but I wanted the full throwback look since I still had all the pieces.

The Original:

This is my attempt at making these pants work for Fall. I'm not entirely sure it worked but oh well! The fabric and bright white just don't scream Fall to me. Maybe when it's cooler I'll try it with a thick sweater to see if the contrast works better than the thin tee.

Here it is, my last outfit post of 2014! Wow, can't believe it...can you? The title is a play on The Hobbit's final movie hashtag: #OneLastTime. Are you guys Middle Earth fans? Some of you will know that Lord of the Rings is my favorite film series (yes, even more than Harry Potter, books are my jam there) so this last journey to Middle Earth was a particularly bittersweet one. I went with my friend who I saw all the movies with for the first time (except Fellowship, which I didn't see in theaters.) I thought it was a good end to the whole six movie series. It was never going to be as good as Lord of the Rings but I think it's a great intro into the series.

I wore this the second time I went to see the movie. I went once with my friend and then the day after Christmas with my brother, sister and her boyfriend.  I preferred the non-3D version, but I may just be strange. Ha ha.

It's the eve of Christmas Eve! YAYY!! This is basically the day before Christmas for my family because we start our Celebrations on Christmas Eve with my Dad's side of the family coming over to our house.  Today is a pretty awesome day though, we watch my favorite Christmas movie: SCROOGE. It is a musical version of A Christmas Carol starring Albert Finney and it is amazing! Plus, it has Alec Guinness (aka Obi Wan) in it too.

I love this Stella McCartney sweater so much, since it's a holiday sweater it will pretty much never go out of style (for me, at least). It was featured on the blog two years ago as a Dream Outfit for Christmas Tree hunting, but then I got it on sale at The Outnet at wore it the following year when we got our Christmas Tree.

Another monochromatic look for you all to enjoy (or not enjoy.) This time with more of a Fall color scheme with my second favorite color: BURGUNDY! These pants are perfect for the transitional time between Summer and Fall because they're so light and breezy but also keep me warm if it gets chilly. It probably would have been smarter to finish this outfit off with flats, but I always feel too pajama-ish when I wear these with flats because of their fit.

Hawaiian shirts are apparently having a comeback. Something I didn't realize until I began searching for style inspiration for this Miu Miu top I picked up thrifting last year for $10.  It has taken me a long time to be brave enough to wear it, but I had to have it since it's my favorite color, and unique....plus it's MIU MIU! My top is on the wilder side of things shape-wise, but you can find a more subtle top if you want to try the style out. I wanted to wear it with jeans, but since it's the middle of Summer I opted for a denim skirt instead.

Here is how the top was styled on the Spring 2003 runway, I toned it down a bit for my look.

We're back at the library again today. I just couldn't resist the marble steps and door for these photos as well. I feel like this outfit would be perfect for a nighttime reception or gala...maybe not though. For this third ThredUp look I styled a MICHAEL Michael Kors caftan that I got for $28.49 (I found the same one on eBay for $54.) I was going to wear it with white jeans, but my old self got the better of me and I reverted to dark gray ones.  They make my legs look skinnier and I don't have to worry about getting them dirty! Ha ha.
