Tenant of the Embroidered Palace

Forever 21 Oaxacan Peasant Top $22 GAP Thermal $18 Skinny Jeans Hydraulic $20 American Eagle Sherpa Boots Bargain Find $40
First of all, I am not this bow legged :-p I don't like wearing sombre solid colors so I always try to put on something with prints or in this case, lovely embroidery! I absolutely love this Oaxacan (pronounced wa-ha-kan) top. I bought it as soon as I beheld it. I didn't gamble on the possibility it may end up in the bargain bin. It's versatile because I can wear it in the summer too. Me and my coven: Jess, Mama, Zor and Bevlee would all go postal for tops like this even way back in college. Classmates used to poke fun at me by saying I look like I'm wearing a pillowcase. The only ones who understood were the gay fashion designers and those are the peeps that matter when it comes to style. I love them to this day. The boots are kind of a challenge to coordinate with since I hardly own anything that's off white but I've been known to buy shoes that don't go with anything in my wardrobe...and heck, it was a bargain since this pair normally goes for $90. That's my excuse.

  10. I need some boots like this! I'm trudging through the snow every other day at work, but I'm too cheap for good boots.

  11. And snow boots aren't normally pretty, Jamie. They look sporty-ish. I did see some for like $155 but they're the really good kind and they're cute too. I'll send you the linki tomorrow :D
