I definitely forgot my camera cord halfway across the country over Christmas…which is why this is so belated.

Wore this for the very cheesy, very wonderful Christmas-y evening the Boyfriend and I spent in our local historical park. We ate molasses cookies made in an old wood stove. We took a sleigh ride. Wonderful.

Also known as the day I got my MCAT results. These wide-legged trousers have a really beautiful grey-burgundy pinstripe in them, and they are insanely comfortable. I’m glad to have found a blouse that looks this good with them.

My mother was going to give away this blouse, which is loose on her. It’s loose on me too, but I don’t care. Also, this skirt is somewhat shocking in these photographs.

A new way to wear my great sweater tunic from American Apparel. One that, coincidentally, takes advantage of the fact that I only own greys to blacks, apparently. But check out that pink scarf! Diversifying!

I struggle to find ways to wear these very twee tights. I don’t always like being stared at for wearing something oddly precious. So I tend to hide these in black or grey outfits. Also, isn’t this belt just wonderful? That’s the Boyfriend’s gift-giving at work.

As you can probably see, we got a Christmas tree! It’s the first live Christmas tree I’ve ever had. We bought a few ornaments and also bought candy canes for it, and then later in the week I made gingerbread men ornaments. This is me on the second last day of classes.

I’ve wanted to style a tie for a really long time. Of course, as soon as I did it, even though I liked the outfit, I didn’t want to talk about it or have it visibly mentioned by anyone, because I’ve found that people usually aren’t as enthusiastic by my weird blend of menswear and prep as they would be on my blog. So when my Organic Chem prof told me I was looking very formal, I made some extremely awkward comment about liking to steal from my boyfriend.

So on Monday I had to write a Physics midterm and then go to one and a half (the half is for informality) cultural talks given by my ex-thesis supervisor’s oft-collaborator/editor of the Marxist literary journal Mediations. Yeah, pretty great. I wanted to look professional but still be comfortable and warm during the midterm….have I mentioned this dress is basically a super-thick, warm, comfy jersey? Fuck yeah.
