Outfit of the Day : Big and Burgundy

Big and burgundy perfectly describes this sweater I purchased from H&M along with the same style in black. The store was having a 'buy one get one free' sweater sale which was a happy coincidence as I've been on the hunt for some longer tops to wear with my leggings. 

I bought the sweaters two sizes too big as I wanted the over-sized "goth sack" look that I always crave. They are comfy, roomy and though not the most figure flattering, yet it makes me happy. With this being said, I have to reference a blog written by one of my favorite bloggers, Alison from Wardrobe Oxygen, and to quote the title of her blog, "Flatter the Figure or Flatter the Soul". 

I know what silhouette's fit me best and I know what to (or should) stay away from, but sometimes I just throw those 'stylist rules' out the window. I might buy clothing too big, or without a defined waist, or something that is over-the-top tacky, because life is too short to not wear what speaks to you.

Long live goth sacks!!!!

Zeeeeebra!

I always show Derek my thrift store purchases and when it came to me showing him a leopard tank top I purchased, it started a conversation about animal prints. He and I both agreed that zebra print is pretty rad and not as common to find as leopard print, so it reminded me of this little cotton zebra skirt that was tucked away in a clothing bin. Do you like animal prints?

I'm rockin' a new black blazer I purchased over the weekend from Target. Though I own many jackets, I specifically wanted this type of stretch cotton/poly blend blazer to fill my need for something comfortable and easy-to-wear for everyday. I stood in the store contemplating the price tag of $35, as paying full retail price always stops me in my tracks (at first), but the realization that it's something that I will wear a lot made me snatch it up. I am so very happy I bought this blazer, so much so I'm thinking of buying a second one!

The rest of my outfit is pretty basic; t-shirt, leggings, cotton skirt and my Docs. What's on my blazer? It's a Scottish grouse foot pin I found at one of my local flea markets for $5. It's a symbol of luck and though I'm Irish and not Scottish, I can't say no to good luck. *Wink*
