Baby It's (effing) Cold Outside

I'm thinking maybe I should have called this blog, "Bathroom Mirror Diaries,"since it seems lately that I have been focusing more on what happens in front of the vanity mirror rather than any dressing room. I feel like I just haven't been very inspired lately as far as fashion goes. Maybe it's just that sometimes I don't feel like anything looks good on me. Then, there's the whole, I could write/talk about cosmetics and skin care forever, thing. 

Anyway, this is just a pretty simple cold weather outfit I threw together. I wanted to wear my Madewell Scallop Lace Top, but I definitely needed another layer, due to the temperature dropage, so that's where the buffalo check shirt came in. Like I said, I like to intermingle my masculines and feminines. 

I also have to mention these jeans I picked up at Aritzia. They're Rag and Bone true denim jeans with very little stretch. This was sort of off-putting at first. These jeans are extremely stiff, which, as a jeggings wearer, I am not used to. However, something about these jeans just felt special. Something about the stiff, raw denim just called out to me. 

Now, the boots. I have always hated the duck boots... in fact, winter boots in general. However, when I spotted these Sperry Shearwater Boots on the J Crew site, I needed them. With the impending winter weather, and not wanting my little toes to freeze off, I conned my dad into buying them for my birthday! 

Lastly, please note my super wild hair. I am planning a post for all the curly haired beauties out there, who have trouble taming those beastly manes (like mine.) So, if you have issues getting your curly locks, smooth, straight, and manageable, stay tuned!
