It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

This is from a couple weeks ago-my sis and I running around in the first snowfall of the year. In love with sweaters like this. They make winter bearable and can be worn a couple of different ways.

P.S. Yeah it has not snown here pretty much since then so we have no white to make it look like Christmas at the present:(

Those who care, don't matter. Those who matter, don't care.

This dress + these shoes + that blazer = perfection. This is my go-to when I am feeling not-so-creative with my clothing. I still feel fabulous even though I didn't put much effort into it. Plus this is comfy. And warm enough for MN winters. Add, of course, a statement necklace, bracelets, earrings, and rings. The jewelry brings any outfit from just plain well-coordinated to fabulous. Even though I usually just end up taking some of it off throughout the day because it gets in the way...

Shameful(ly adorable)

This is my friend Sylvie, and yes, she dresses like this all the time. I adore her not only pleather, but brown pleather, not only skirt, but midi skirt. I die for her outfits. I would not mind living in her closet. She is so adorable it's shameful. She will definetly be popping up more frequently on kissesfromakitten. I just get super lazy and don't get around to hauling my camera to school with me. :P But on the subject of shameful: I was at Mall Of America recently, and there was a show thing going on with the Vikings cheerleaders? They came onto the makeshift stage scantily clad, with knee-high boots? After executing some not-so-appropriate moves, they exited the stage. I turned to my friend and declared that what I just saw is shameful. I just think that dressing up like that and doing vulgar moves is not a positive image. It is shameful and I think that these girl's should be embarassed. I get the positive aspect of cheering on one's team, but I just think it is wrong the way they do it. I know that cheerleading is not just dressing up and waving pom-poms around. It is a legitemate sport. And I salute that. But the woman announcing things said that these were "some of Minnesota's most beautiful women". I don't know about you, but I think of beauty as something that comes from within. From being proud of who you are. From giving and smiling and living, respectively. And who knows, maybe these women are all of the above. I just think that if these people had a positive image of what women should act like and look like, and if they respect themselves they would wear more clothing and do actual dancing and set a positive image for the young girls of today. I get it, dressing up is fun! But are you serious?  Can you wear an actual shirt? And some pants? Booty shorts should not be worn in public, ladies. There are some excuses, but really? Come on. It is innapropriate, and shameful.
