Say Hello to My Christmas Socks :)

Sweater and Skirt from Marshalls.  Belt from Charming Charlie.  SOCKS from Claire's.

Fashionistas meet Carol's Christmas Socks, Carol's Christmas Socks meet Fashionistas!  

'Tis the season for fantastically comfy sweaters and incredibly fun socks!  I may not be wearing the "horrible" Christmas sweater but I did get my share of holiday pattern on my socks.  The holidays are a joyous time with family and friends and fun socks.  I find it astonishing that people still think it's cool that my name is Carol and Christmas songs are called Christmas Carols.  It doesn't bother me, it's just funny when my friends turn and look or point at me every time a song says Carol.  I even had a teacher over enthusiastically point it out a couple years ago in seventh grade.  We were reading A Christmas Carol and she turns to me and says, "Carol - A Christmas Carol - Get it!!!!"  It was thoroughly entertaining.. It's not even an uncommon name...Anyway enough of my silly rambling.  

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed taking the pictures.  I was pretty much jumping and dancing around.  :)

Oh! Oh! BTW, I twisted my hair last night and this how it looked when I took out the twists this morning.

I love it!

What do you think? 

In Love with Orange

Shirt - Ragstock, Skirt - H & M, Shoes - MIA

 

This is what I wore today.  All I did was go to school, but it was a good day nonetheless.  I usually wear dark colors like grey and black but I'm trying to branch out a bit... so here is the result!  But seriously, I love the color of this skirt. 

I think I'm in love with orange. :)

Esperanza's Effortless Style

top - thrifted
belts - Claire's

Afro - All Natural :)

I absolutely love everything about Esperanza Spalding!  Both her music and fashion are inspiring.  This post was on my Claire's blog, but my camera is broken right now so I'm kind of re-posting this.  Grammy winner Esperanza's style is just as calm and cool as her jazzy music.  Oh, and have you seen her hair?!?!  I LOVE IT.  I have been wearing my hair natural all the time for around a year now.  It's so much easier and so much more fun.  I don't normally go full out fro like Esperanza....but maybe I should more often?  I loved how simple and feminine her outfit was.  The little ruffled top and boyfriend jeans looked so effortless on her.  I had to give it a try.
