I often find myself mixing and matching the same basic pieces over and over again. I wear this sweater basically every other day, and although this hat is brand new, I've already worn it two days in a row since it arrived in the mail. I absolutely have a problem. I also believe variation comes with age as we accumulate more and more clothes. Yet when styles change we stop wearing pieces as well, and end up getting new staple pieces we wear over and over again. This outfit was spent on a very worthwhile day.  My best friend Allie Scott and I did our annual Christmas gift exchange, along with a celebratory outing for my own birthday, which is today, the 23rd. We went to American Apparel and Urban Outfitters and what not on Ventura Blvd and then made a quick stop at Salvation Army, which is practically my second home. I adore thrifting. It's a possible addiction. Anyway, I enjoyed this outfit because I actually wore heals with it, and it was simple but made the eye on my shirt truly pop. This shirt is really fantastic, and thank goodness for fashion festivals with sales. I love UNIF and wish I could afford more than two shirts from them. Just a heads up, I'll probably dedicate a whole post to the hat I'm wearing in the pictures above, for it's literally my new favorite possession. Hope you noticed the full Salvation Army bag I'm holding behind me!
