Alas, I am running out of clothes (and space) and my photographer is asking for raise. Therefore, I have decided to expand the typical pas cher chic post beyond obnoxious pictures of myself to wondrous content that will hopefully keep you, my dear reader content.
I was recently alerted to this local DC event (shout-out to Mary C. and Bella W. for the tip), who are familiar with my desire to pay a flat rate and subsequently stuff a bag full of clothes.
Sounds awesome, right?
If so, then you should probably pencil-in this vintage party, for Tuesday, Dec. 6th, from 5pm-9pm.
Hope to see you there! For more information about Meeps, check out their website here.

a sweater for your legs
There once was a time when I wore sweaters/shirts as skirts. How is that possible? You are envisioning me with sleeves hanging from very awkward places on my body. Solution: simply tuck sleeves inside skirt, creating instant pockets (just don't put anything in them).
Don't worry, I only used this DIY skirt a handful of times. As a jean-hater, I found wearing over-sized sweaters on my legs a more comfortable (and efficient) option.
It was a few weeks ago when I stumbled across the would-be-child of a maxi skirt and cable-knit sweater. See below.
Jacket: F21. Sequined tank: F21, $15. Skirt: Only (second hand), <$1.
A warm/comfy alternative. Maybe ask an older woman in your life if she has one to spare?
The backside slit allows flexibility.Proof that no woman is solely one size.
I hope you have enjoyed the idea of the sweater skirt as much as I have. After all, this is much easier than using an actual sweater.
Next up: my first (and certainly not last) trip to the Rockville Goodwill
