misproportion day

  • evergreen plaid stockings - Hue
Its really all about stockings for me. Cold weather is finally back! I am a big believer in layering basics and making it fun with stockings and socks. I think the belt and the skirt in combination with the plaid make my proportions seem strange. I like it, though.

drab day

  • plaid socks - Macy's
  • button panel brown skirt - Elevenses (Anthropologie)
  • pumpkin wedges - Two Lips
These socks were an awesome sale find. $2.24! It really doesn't get much more reasonable than that find. I got them in two colors. I considered getting multiple pairs of each, but thought it excessive. Unfortunately in this photo you cannot see the wedges very well. They are super comfy and have a cute buttoned strap.

"its layering time" day

  • bear hat - custom (by: cosplay casuals)
  • brown a-line skirt with buttons - elevenses (anthropologie)
  • pink skirt - miss sixty
  • pink long sleeve shirt - james perse
  • pink flower pin - NoaNoa
Its finally cold enough to layer! Someone in class told me that I looked very "Japanese". I guess Americans don't wear enough animal hats. The hat is modeled after a drawing by my favorite Japanese animator, Yoshitoshi Abe. I got it probably 5 years ago. The lady that made it for me is super duper nice.
