Stranger


Hello, strangers. If I've been a little MIA lately, it's because the 7 degree weather is making it very difficult to dress cute and take photos. Luckily, I have one set of photos left from California and I just ordered some fleece lined tights. Skirts and dresses, how I've missed you. 

I got this dress is a swap over the summer, but it was so thick that I couldn't wear it until now. I love the long sleeves and the unique print, I wish I would have dug it out of my closet sooner. I'm also debuting my leather jacket, an item I've had for a year or so, but have never managed to get on the blog. I love pairing it over feminine dresses and I especially love that it's something slightly different for me.







Has anyone taken advantage of Modcloth's Cabin Fever sale yet? I did yesterday and while I'm in love with the items I bought, it marked the start of my shopping ban. I'm serious this time, really. That being said, I can't wait to share my new purchases! 

Hope everyone had a lovely day off yesterday!

Dress: Modcloth (swap)
Jacket: Buffalo Exchange
Shoes: Modcloth
Belt: Thrifted
Necklace: Jewelmint
Clutch: Asos

  1. I love the leather jacket! I need to bring mine to school with me!
    I got a pretty turquoise coat and a peplum dress at the sale(inspired by the bunny peplum I borrowed from you)!

  2. Ha, sounds like you and I both are in the same boat when it comes to starting a shopping ban! I just bought some American Eagle jeans (free shipping AND clearance markdowns? GAH!) and then I found other stuff when I went out with my friend...ugh, its a problem.
    Gotta buckle down and use what we already have, huh?
    Anyway, I love this new look Elana! The leather vest adds the perfect touch of edge to that dress.

  3. Love the feminine dress paired with that jacket! Such a great combo. And Elana, you are genius for ordering fleece lined tights. After 22 years in Minnesota, you would think I would have figured out that they sell those things by now! Nope, I had no idea. Oh well. Stay warm!

  4. It's minus 14 over where I live! Talk about difficult conditions for photo shoots. I find that some leggings are just as warm as pants so I still wear my dresses and skirts. I love the idea of layering leather over feminine dresses - I think you look great in leather :)

  6. Ugh, it is no fun taking pictures in the cold so I don't blame you! This is just a really fun and cool pairing with the dress and the leather jacket here. the dress looks so sweet and proper and the leather jacket adds a little unexpected edge to it. And oh WOW! That necklace! that has to be one of the coolest pieces of jewelry every, it's a little clock set into a crystal! (Well, I think it's a clock but it sort of looks like a compas now. either way, it's completely awesome and unusual.)

  9. Oh, that dress is just darling! The print is so, as you say, unique and cute. Plus it looks warm.

    I know what you mean about Modcloth. I made several purchases with that sale and, while excited to see the purchases, will probably not be buying much for awhile!

  14. This dress is so freakin' cute! I know, that Cabin Fever sale didn't come at the best time, but I indulged too! It's too freezing for photos that's for sure. I'm scared to take pictures tomorrow. It's going to be a cold one.

  15. This dress is adorable! I love the long sleeves - those are my favorite lately, because like you, I'm dealing with absurdly cold temperatures. Also, your leather jacket looks amazing on you

    Stay warm!
