While I adore the look I wore on New Years Eve , if I could have a do over, I would choose this dazzling retro outfit. It's got mixed metals, an actual vintage shirt, and enough sequins to make a 1980s Joan Rivers weep. Unfortunately this outfit didn't get to see the glitz of the evening and spent it's time running errands with a heavy winter coat over it for errands. So glam, I know. It seems now that the holidays are all over, I have the urge to wear all my sequins. I never really wore them in December but now that it's January, I'm all for it. Maybe it has something to do with it being a shiny new year or something? Let's go with that! Outfit details - Vintage sequin top, $1.23 (thrifted) - Gray skirt, $2 (thrifted) - Tights, $5 (Wal-Mart) - Flats, $10 (Wal-Mart) - Necklace, from my aunt (Avon brand) - Lip color, Dark Wine by Wet'n'Wild

Barbies were pretty much the only toy I wanted to get as a kid on Christmas morning. But after spending the last week sorting through childhood Barbie stuff with my sister; I wouldn't mind never seeing them ever again. Who knew 2 little girls could accumulate so much stuff? I think it really got out of control after we started making money on a paper route and could afford to buy all the things for ourselves. Though I don't really see the point in owning a coconut scented Ken doll. Sometimes our younger selves make strange decisions! Luckily, my younger self from a couple weeks ago was spot on with this outfit. I'm very obsessed with the whole look. As much as I admire all of my Barbie clothes, I think my real life closet is way more fun because I actually get to wear the things. Barbie would never look as good in my clothes. But that is mostly because she's only 11 inches tall and would be swimming in them! ;) Outfit details - Crochet top, gift from my mom (Monroe ...

I'm not one to wear high heels and sweaters together, but when I do it looks something like this. When I stepped back from the mirror after getting dressed, all I could think of was Beauty and the Geek . Remember the now defunct show that Ashton Kutcher made in the early 00's? It was a pretty awful reality show... that I just couldn't get enough of. I'd say my outfit has a perfect balance of stereotypical geekiness with a lot of feminine thrown in. I'm also playing the role of nerd quite well as I just looked up book lights on the internet - so I will never have to decide if I should read in bed or just go to sleep. I also made a video while wearing this look and titled it "The Ultimate Boyfriend". Watch it below or on my official YouTube page . Outfit details - Sweater, $1 (thrifted) - Collared top, $2.29 (thrifted)  - Skirt, $2 (thrifted) - Tights, $2 (Shop-Ko) - Barbie shoe earrings, handmade ( currently for sale in my Etsy shop ) - Flats, $5 (thrifted)...
