Outfit details:
Tabitha Tyndall Coat (an amazing reincarnation of a Beth Bowley coat from 2008)
J. Crew (Factory) Ruffle Zip cardigan (available online on weekends only, or try a similar style here or here)
Anthro's Cartonnier Stable skirt (sold out online--try stores or this similar cut here or similar color story here)
Frye Dorado Slouch boots (very yummy lookalike here and a look for less here)
Lucky Penny Pure Bred tote (same vibe here and here)

This is year three of working retail during the holiday season for me. I really love the extra energy that pumps through the store starting the Friday after Thanksgiving. Being someone that loves to shop, I get really excited for other people to buy things, especially at discount. I get the same little rush as when I'm splurging on something myself. As a result I am most often the enabler friend that votes yes on friends' purchases. More likely, I vote for two. And yeah, I'll get one too.


This year I pulled together a new uniform for surviving the busy buzzy season--a very special piece + a warm and yummy knit + a pair of my expanding Frye boot collection. Today's special? An excellent upgrade to my vintage equestrian print skirt that I've been hoarding for weeks. I couldn't resist back in August (maybe it was even July?!), since the perfect slice of the print was centered on a skirt my size.

  2. Every single piece in this outfit is amazing in their own right, but I think the skirt really stole the show. I have seen this skirt online but was scared to buy it, because I don;t wear these shades very often. So I'll live vicariously through you. :)

    I am a new reader of your blog and just discovered it via weardrobe. Would love for us to stay in touch if you would not mind. I am on blogger, twitter and Facebook.

    Come say Hi when you have some time.

    Love from Toronto, Canada

  8. Sweet Laundry--I actually snapped these after close in the fitting rooms at work! I work for an independently owned boutique and the owners have these amazing salvaged doors and shutters as their fitting room cubicles.

  9. I love the horses on your skirt. I don't like horses in real life but seem to love them on clothing, and your skirt is no exception.
