lumberjacks like spicy olives too

It's Tuesday, and I'm halfway through my 3-day work week! Woooo hooooooo! Tonight I'm baking some chocolate cookies for my boyfriend's family and another batch for the office. Ah, the spirit of giving... that, and I kind of want to chow on cookies during work tomorrow.

I'm wearing my favorite double-serge cotton pencil skirt from J.Crew today after re-finding my lumberjack shirt from Forever 21. I thought I'd lost it in the black hole that is my closet, but it was actually just wedged between a couple of my more questionable items from shopping trips of yore.

The other day I was looking for a scarf or something and dug out the old neon green studded belt I wore all through high school. Memories! And evidence of darker days, hahaha...

plaid ruffle blouse, F21
ruffled celosia cardigan, J.Crew
double serge pencil skirt, J.Crew
black tights, Hue
Allie flats, BCBG
skinny studded belt, J.Crew
starburst ring, Target
Time Teller watch, Nixon


Have a holly jolly 4 Days Before Christmas!

    I love the plaid, too! I have that skirt and remember you posting a plaid top with it and I've been on the search since.

    I love your post title. I can imagine big bearded burly men taking a break and opening up a can of green olives to snack on. it made me chuckle.

    I love the plaid and pencil skirt—very JCrew! :) Nixon watches are so fun...I've been wanting one for years! Have a great short week—lucky me is on vacation for the rest of the year.
