daily outfit: holding onto winter

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
[jacket: forever 21, shirt: borrowed from ted, leggings: marshall's, shoes: thrifted, hat: yarn plus yarn]

Do you like how I totally stopped taking photos of my outfits because I'm a bum? Awesome. Actually, this is how our day actually goes, so you can see why we don't take any. Get home from work at 5:30, work out until 6:30, sun down by then, eat din din, watch X-Files, go to bed by 9. It's awesome.

But really...X-Files is awesome. I'm only like 15 years behind the times. No big deal.

I loved the X-Files back when it was still on TV! My family watched it all the time.
I love that you're holding on to winter. Winter hasn't even hit Illinois yet... which is highly unusual.

Your jacket is awesome, I love stripes at the moment! I wish we had a Forever 21 here. I need to get into the habit of taking outfit photos before work, because by the time I get home (a) the sun is down and (b) I am totally crazy looking with messy hair, make-up rubbed off etc haha :) xxx

Laura said...

oh my gosh, exactly!!! i just started watching the x-files in december and i am OBSESSED. everyday i find myself wondering why david duchovny isn't in love with me.

meredith said...

Such a lovely outfit! Your coat is so pretty!

I've never seen a single episode of X-Files. I know I would love it though. I guess there is someone more behind the times!

P.S. - I guess everyone feels the need to tell you that they are reading the Hunger Games...and it's probably a little annoying..but I'm reading the Hunger games. Haha. I'm almost finished with Catching Fire and I cannot put it down. Thanks for getting me hooked on Peeta! ;-)

Harley said...

i love x-files!

also you look adorable.

Lauren Jean said...

I LOVE YOUR COAT! The hat...those shoes! Ah! I can totally relate to being a bum. Maybe I should check out the X-Files...

HeatherKawski said...

I read this as "skirt: borrowed from ted." .... Yeah.

siovhan said...

I love your hair and that beanie is such a pretty color!!

Oh, I want to be you when I grow up.

Carrie Rosalind said...

I love the X-Files, but not as much as I love that coat! Awesome post all around. ;)

I love that jacket!

Chelsey - The Paper Mama said...

Wow. I am absolutely in love with that jacket. Very sweet outfit.

Julie- The Great Lakes Girl said...

I agree with you about The X Files. My family would watch it together when it was on tv and I would go through the house and turn off all the lights to enhance the creepiness of the show. Looking back, I can't believe my parents let me watch it, I was only 8 years old.

Yellow Finch Designs said...

love the jacket with the hat!! great color combination!

Yellow Finch Designs said...

AND i can't believe you're just getting into x files ;) lol! did you ever watch the battlestar galactica? the new one? i loved that too.

Chelsea Elizabeth. said...

my parents were obsessed with xfiles and bought all the season and would watch them when we were in bed, so growing up I would fall asleep to the theme song, which when you're little is kinda a creepy song to fall asleep to. i'm gonna have to borrow them from them and see what they're all about!

Sarah Ann said...

The coat! I LOVE that coat!

Shelby Clark said...

I am in love with your outfit! So classy! Nothing beats a black and white combo. Now I think I will go to Forever 21 and attempt to find that jacket! It is so cute!

Shannon said...

You look lovely. And, I'm also a huge X-Files fan! I had (HAVE!) a crush on Moulder. My favorite all-time episode was the one with the Peacock Family. Have you seen that one yet??? It's AWESOME!!!

xo,

Lisa said...

love the hat! you look so great in color! :)

Blythe and Charlotte said...

That coat is absolutely incredible! It's so bold but classic at the same time, and the plaid detail of the shirt is the perfect combination! Also, I'm in love with those shoes. I can't believe they're thrifted!

anni said...

absolute love that jacket, super cute! :)

Lottie said...

I love your cat and the mustard hat goes perfectly with it.

I never got into X-files, maybe i should give it another go.

My evenings seem to have a similar routine although I am not sure, except my x-files is whatever boxset we have going at the moment.

Who says I don't lead a wild and glamourous life? :)

MacKenzie said...

I love this look, and im totally obsessed with those yarn beanies

Deveny said...

I was introduced to the X-Files by Mr. when we got married.
And then I had nightmares due to an episode about torso-lady with demented/canibal sons that I think she had umm 'relations' with? That episode scarred me...
LOL

Courtney Waters said...

I love this outfit! You are so beautiful. Speaking of being years behind the times...my husband and I just started watching LOST on netflix. We had never seen a single episode, now we have 120 to look forward to and we are hooked!! Only 8 years behind!! :D

Mrs C ♥ said...

Pretty sure I couldn't be more in love with a coat!!

Have you ever watched Fringe? It's on Friday nights on Fox. It's kinda like a newer version of X-Files. They're part of the "fringe" division of the FBI, investigating strange occurrences, phenomenon, etc. I loved X-Files but I love Fringe even MORE! Plus you get to drool over Joshua Jackson for an hour...YES please!!

Tameka said...

LOVE that jacket! You pull it off so well where as I would look like a zebra! You're gorgeous as always!

Erin B. Inspired said...

SO (so, so) much love for that jacket. How fun! Also, you're inspiring me to venture into the men's clothing section once in a while. Cute button downs long enough for leggings? Sign me up! :)

Jenna said...

Your coat is really smashing. I swear.

Maria said...

I love the stripes, it's beautiful! I love x-files, it's so good! We always watch x-files at the house I'm renting with two friends (she has the entire box set).

Anna said...

i don't comment often but just wanted to say that you are gorgeous :)

Mr. Taylor and his Lady said...

oh goodness, so mr. taylor grew up on x-files and i decided to watch it with his family one night while up at their cabin. i totally freaked myself out. i might be the only 23 year old to actually be scared of the show. i know....pathetic.

King Lady said...

My friend dressed up like Scully for one of our school Halloween dances. It was pretty much awesome. But that was back when the show was actually airing on tv. Dude, I'm really not as old as I sound. . .right??

B.Graham said...

I'm so jealous of your ability to wear shoes without woolly socks in January. Soooo jealous.

Megan said...

this is not related to this post by any stretch of the imagination buuuut i just watched like crazy and i thought of you. it was amazing, it was wonderful, and at the same time i hated it. because now im going to lie in bed thinking about what actually happened to anna and jacob. where did sam and simon go? do they ever get back the relationship they had? im going insane man and i owe it all to you :)
