Oh, deer indeed. It's been....well, I don't even actually know how long it's been since I've done an outfit post. I blame it on the winter (too cold!) and the holidays (busy busy busy), but mostly it's just the fact that I've been fortunate enough to take 4 vacations in the last 4 months*. SO much on that coming soon.

I wore this around Christmastime, which explains the giant reindeer on my shirt. Though truth be told, I'd rock this reindeer any time of year. Inspired by Megan, who I featured in the Favorite Fashion Friday link-up back in December, I decided to fancy up my reindeer a little bit with a blazer, too. I must admit, though, Megan's outfit, with her camel-colored blazer and bright scarf, just pops way more than my version. Camel and reindeer get along splendidly. Who would have thought?

*This is what happens when you don't go anywhere all year and then have to use up all the vacation days before January comes around. It's kind of surreal to travel someplace new every month...I recommend it.

Mythical Magic

It's no secret that I have a thing for chambray.  I mean, I have two nearly identical ones in my closet that I suspect must be some sort of magical fabric-slash-mythical Greek sirens.  They're always calling me, and I feel myself inexplicably drawn to them - enough to wear them on average about twice a week.  Repetitive, yes.  Icky, maybe.  Imaginative, not a chance.  But I say small price to pay for stylish, flattering, comfort.  Am I right or am I right?

Windy City

As almost any girl can tell you, wind is the nemesis of carefully coiffed bangs.  As perfect as they may look in my calm, breeze-free bathroom, once I step out and that wind gusts up, all bets are off.

On the upside, my hair was still a little wet when I left the house.  After only 10 minutes of taking photos, it was completely dry.  So what if my damp hair, combined with the wind chill, made a 45 degree day feel like 31?  I harnessed the power of earth's natural blow dryer.  How's that for eco-conscious?

I had planned to wear this outfit on Christmas.  I thought the shirt would be a subtle nod to Santa and his reindeer, and would be the next best thing to donning a hideous Christmas sweater (which I can only dream of owning one day).

But as usual, my sister convinced me not to get dressed on Christmas so we could sit around in our pjs all day and not waste any time on trivial pursuits like personal hygiene.

So I wore this the next day while we hung out and practiced hula hoop dancing.

And then she took these photos.

Aren't sisters the best?
