Blizzard!

Hey guys! School was just cancelled for tomorrow because of a blizzard and I am too excited. Since I can't exactly get anywhere, I thought of the perfect pastime: recapping the cutest outfits of January 2011. I'm doubly (word?) excited because it's February, which means I'll be seventeen in two short weeks!

This is what I wore today and it kind of came together by fate. This morning I was wearing a gold headband, but that broke during school so I ditched it. Also, I thought my hair was going to spazz out but thanks to the dry, cold weather, it fell into some decently cute waves. Most importantly, I finally got this vest that I made back from my sewing teacher! It's the first official piece of clothing I've sewn all by myself and I'm really proud of it. I wanted to do something fitted because it's awesome to have something perfectly tailored to fit your every curve. I'll post the specifics on the "Original Creations" page.

Also by fate, the vest matched what I was wearing today. I was planning on making an outfit around it and I was kind of struggling with the menswear look, but it went with this sweater perfectly. I know I defied that crazy fashion rule about not mixing brown and black, I just think sometimes contrast is better than matching. This definitely would have looked weird with brown boots. Not that I have any. Not that I'm bitter about that. Feel free to mail these to me.
