I scored 3 amazingly awesome pieces in around the same time frame, that I brought together into one laid back outfit.  I've been looking for a leather or leather-like moto jacket, a piece of jewelry with chevrons and the perfect slouchy tee.  Brought to you in one relaxed ensemble.  It must be providence. 

I also got some pretty fantastic lipgloss on by essence -- it's their stay with me longlasting lip gloss in 10-Pretty Witty thanks to Sophie of Sophie's Dish. It isn't goopy and the color comes through without being obnoxious.  Plus, it matches my shoes!

Folks, I used to be a tomboy.  I wore baggy jeans and sneakers, played sports, biked around the neighborhood in little pre-teen bike gangs (well, we weren't the SCARY kind of gang.  Just the group of kids kind of gang).  And then sometime in my mid-20's, I felt the subconscious urge to compensate for my lack of "girly-ness"and doll playing experiences by wearing dresses and skirts all the time, going to tea houses and learning how to salsa.  This outfit feels like the best of both - a definite free move-ability about it while still having feminine elements.

I hope you all had a fabulous Turkey Day and (if you participate), a fun-filled Black Friday!  Get some good finds!

The fiance and I took a 4 mile walk this past weekend and, upon finding this industrial garage, had a sudden inspiration.  Why don't I take a picture in front of it?!  It's the perfect ne'er may care backdrop to my fashionable outfit.  Just kidding.  I was just biting off every fashion blogger that I've ever followed or not.  But the thing is -- these closed garages really are pretty awesome backdrops.  So I'm going to go with this being a creative decision.  Yes...

I love that this outfit is super cozy, yet integrates a variety of textures and patterns.  The nubby sweater, the polka dotted leggings, the ruffled boots -- they all work!  Keeping within the same color palette really helps if you want to try it.
