Best of 2012

I didn’t post as many outfits on the blog this year as in 2011, but I like this year’s better, and these are my favorites by month.

Happy New Year, and I hope you all have a fabulous 2013!

You Can Coat Me

Coat: J. Crew
Sweater: Nordstrom Rack
Skirt: thrifted Corey Lynn Calter
Shoes: Nordstrom Rack
Lipstick: Revlon Love That Red

I’m pretty sure I’ve never posted photos with this coat, but I wear it at least four days a week. I bought it way on sale, at least 70% off, two years ago, and aside from one button coming off (of course the one taking the strain of fastening over my hips), it’s stayed in perfect condition. J. Crew makes the best coats.

Tree Shaped

Shoes

Top: thrifted Forever 21
Skirt: thrifted Perfectly Dressed
Tights: Target
Shoes: thrifted Cappagallo
Lipstick: Revlon Love That Red

On Saturday Jasen and I went to buy a Christmas tree and I subconsciously dressed like a deconstructed pine. I don’t think the pattern on this top was supposed to look like trees, but doesn’t it? I felt very “holiday” in this and also liked the velvet skirt with the green tights.

Party Cat

Top: thrifted Liz Claiborne
Skirt: River Island via Buffalo Exchange
Tights: Target
Shoes: thrifted The PM Collection
Lipstick: Revlon Love That Red

It’s hard to tell in these photos, but my top is sparkly! Jasen and I went to a “St. Niklas” party at our neighbors’ the night that I wore this, so decided it was the perfect time to get all festive with a gold top and my velvet shoes.

We also made crab rangoons (cream cheese wontons) for the party, and they were a big hit. We’d never tried making them before, but I figured we couldn’t go wrong with cream cheese and deep frying. They were easier than I expected, although Jasen did the hard part, frying them in the wok. This is the recipe we used in case you’re interested in trying it. We created the mixture with cream cheese and a can of crab from Trader Joe’s, and it really was just like what you’d get at a restaurant.
