in the spirit

man o man, the christmas spirit has finally hit me today. as in, i’m seriously grumpy today. i hate to be a debbie downer, but i have to say that today is just not my day! i’m not sick, nothing bad happened, i just don’t feel 100%. one of those days, as they say. whoever they are.

so i actually wore this exact outfit last week, but i never got around to taking pictures of it. since i wasn’t in the mood to think of an outfit today, it was an easy choice. it’s just a mix of this outfit, which i wore a few weeks ago, and this outfit, which i wore last monday. and because the lovely ms. lulu letty totally rocked some red tights with a pair of salvatore ferragamo flats the other day, which is what i wish i had instead of these old flats. but more than anything, it was just an excuse to wear these 110 denier tabio tights yet again. they are my most favorite pair of tights right now. better than my merino wool wolfords. they’re just such a thick, comfy knit, a dream to wear… and i want them in every color. hm, that is actually enough to lift my spirits just a tad!

and now i am off to do video editing because i really want to be able to post the first calivintage field trip tomorrow. oh, the anticipation!

  1. you're adorable, erin… this outfit is just great! love how the tights pull out the red in the plaid top. also… I've been wanting a jersey mini black skirt for ages, and now I know where to go! but will it cover my booty? guess I'll have to find out :)

  7. I remember seeing lulu letty's outfit and fell in love. I love your version! So so beautiful! Those tights are heavenly. You have inspired me. I have a pair of purple tights from high school that I must pull out to wear again!

  8. I love the tights and the shoes together, perfect combination of the color and the gold. Also, I'm very envious of your lack of snow.

  9. Love the red tights and I am quite jealous of your green/berry background. Its getting pretty desolate out here on the east coast!
