Steppin Out: hearts a plenty

In honor of valentine's day eve, I'm bringing you a little outfit post. I wore this outfit 2 weeks ago when a bunch of friends & I had a hotel party and went out to a club. I was a little worried that I looked too much like "valentine's day" but I decided to go for it anyway because I wanted to wear one of my favorite tank tops. It has little hearts on it and I got it on a boxing day sale at Old Navy. I just couldn't leave without it... If you read my post last week, then you can understand why.

That night it was freeeeezing, but we were going to a dancebar, so a skirt or a dress was a must. I knew just what to do... bust out the tights! I think almost any outfit can be made winter appropriate by adding some tights. Don't you agree?

Taking a photo of myself in the bathroom, feeling like a "floozy". (Haha, Arzina!)

Steppin Out Saturday: Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you're all having a great day surrounded by family & loved ones. I promised you a Steppin Out Saturday outfit and here it is.

I've been noticing lots of oversized sweaters with sequined dresses/skirts lately.

Like this one on Refinery 29 found via Pinterest.

And this one from Zara also via Pinterest.

I'm not usually one to wear something just because it's trendy, but I really wanted to give this one a try because 1) I love BIG, comfy sweaters and 2) I had the perfect sequined dress that I had not worn in years... 

The dress was too big for me. All the belts I tried to pair with it competed too much with the sequins. But when I added an off-white belt from a silk shirt and puffed the dress out a bit, it didn't look bad... Now that it's not so baggy, I may actually wear it more often! 

I love finding new combinations in my closet. Free shopping!

The gray sweater was $2! I couldn't resist buying it last summer. One can never have enough gray sweaters... Pairing it with a fun, festive skirt dresses it up a bit. Comfy, warm & cute (at least, I think so).  Christmas Eve outfit done. 

Money spent: $0.
