a post in real time for once. today i threw on this second hand dress i thrifted last month. back when i was in high school, during the days leading up to christmas, my teachers would get into the spirit by wearing christmas colors, those horrendous christmas sweaters and candy cane earrings. i thought it’d be fun to continue the tradition minus the earrings. maybe i’ll wear an ungly sweater just for fun.

Coat: Marc by Marc Jacobs 20$(Goodwill)
Scarf: H&M a few years back
