When I first saw this necklace I knew EXACTLY what I was going to pair with it. 

I had just purchased a tribal patterned tank and this rustic maroon floor length maxi dress at Savers a little bit ago. 

 I had an inkling that this WAS the look I wanted to showcase this necklace.

It all started with a necklace:

Which inspired me to pair it with this shirt:

Which led to feeling like a Aztec Princess:

Put on some heels to polish the look:

And escorted me straight into fashion heaven!

The patterns on the necklace and blouse 

reminded me of ancient pottery bowls and vases.

Necklace: C/O Accesorize.com    Shirt: Caribou NY @ Savers $5

Little Miss Katniss

Today I brought out my inner 'Katniss' and this is what I would wear to 'Reaping Day'

-x-

I was feeling a lot better today and wanted to take advantage of that so here is a post!

(Like I said last post, I will usually only do posts Mondays or Wednesdays)

Today is special!

1. I feel pretty good (which is a first for a while)

2. The Hunger Games comes out tonight!

Skirt: vintage $1.50 (Thrifted @ Savers)

Olive Tank: randomly appeared in my closet a year ago (Forever 21)

Of course I wore a Olive Green Tank to represent Katniss, since she ROCKS that color throughout the novels. 

Shoes: My Roommates (Target Mossimo)

When I read The Hunger Games I imagined this soft lighting a eerie fairytale of horror type look during 'Reaping Day'

Necklaces: Forever 21 & Nordstrom

Katniss had a braid, but I opted for 3 bun twists!

Thank you all for being so understanding as I deal with my health!

Pumped Purple

It was a wee bit colder so I chose to wear pants today -- purple pants that is!

I found this knitted sweater in my dorm's 'free' pile.

(there is a pile where girls throw things they don't want anymore so it's basically my paradise)

Knitted Top - The Tog Shop (from dorm pile)

Purple Pants - H&M

Necklace - Curio

So I got these killer (no pun intended) shoes from Kohls the other day. 

Orig. $35 --- with Kohls Cash I payed $5

Unfortunately after around 2 hours, they were killing the back of my ankle's 

and my poor pinky toes. 

Hopefully that was just the pain of wearing it in 

and in time they will be more friendly to my feet.  

Another look at the shoes -- that I love the look of but are the pain in the ankle!

Lastly, I entered a contest for blogs and it is here

Just scroll down and find my name 'Kayla' 

and the picture of me in the blue dress from my new years post and press the heart button.

 Its super simple to vote and I would love the support! 

Please share with friends and family -- it would be a great opportunity and I would be so grateful!

Christmas Eve Vintage

So today I finally got use of one of my Goodwill find

s of last year. It is this old 'victorian-age' looking blouse, I fell in love with it but could never quite figure out how to wear it!

Problemo Solved!

Vintage Blouse - thrifted Vintage Aqua Skirt - thrifted (hemmed shorter and waist brought in)

Belt - also thrifted and used here as well.

As excited as I was that I finally found use of my blouse, and that I got to wear my newly hemmed skirt, today I am more thrilled about my accessories!

Earrings - Antique Shop (the aqua blue matched my skirt perfectly!) Wedges - Love Culture

Head Piece - broken necklace (conveniently fit my cranium)

Merry Christmas Eve! Don't forget to leave cookies out for Santa!
