Meet John Doe

                                                                Blouse: Ziezo in STL
                                                                Skirt: H&M
                                                                Belt: Forever21
                                                                Shoes: Forever21

I like this outfit because it feels kind of like something Barbara Stanwyck would have worn in one of her 1940s, working girl movies . . . perhaps Meet John Doe? Anyway, the blouse I got for my birthday at a little shop on the Delmar Loop in St. Louis.  I'm kind of obsessed with peter pan collars and fancy things that tie around necks, so this is the perfect shirt for me! Plus, I love the beige and black together!
I hope everyone's holiday shopping is going better than my own.  Due to a lack of funds and an obsession with DIYing, I decided I was going to make most of my gifts this year. NEVER AGAIN! Maybe it's because all the projects I decided to do are unexpectedly time consuming, but honestly, I had no idea that it would take this long, and I've been working on them for weeks! Not that I think my friends and family's gifts shouldn't take weeks to complete, but it's just that I'm not sure if I'm going to get them all done in time! Yikes!
Has anyone else decided to make their gifts this year? what are you making if you are?
I introduced my mom to pinterest recently, and she's become as obsessed with it as I am. I could seriously spend hours just looking at everything on there. Is anyone else using pinterest? If so, we should  follow each other! It's super fun!

  5. Lovely! Pale pink and black is such a good combination. Aaand...is it maybe the first time I see you on high heels? (or does my memory suck? ^^)
    About gifts, I gave up and bought them this year...I agree, doing all the gifts yourself is very time consuming! But the pro is that people can feel you care and you love them, so...
