Bursts of Color

Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a relaxing weekend! Some exciting news this week: we have a 3x3 Food post coming up for you on Thursday - the topic? Veggie burgers.

Today I'm celebrating warmer weather with pops of bright color. I am trying to rock this shearling-tweed jacket (again here) as much as possible before spring hits and I'm finding plenty of ways to wear this super warm jacket. Are you a fan of shearling?

p.s. I uploaded my Great Gatsby party photos yesterday so be sure to check them out if you haven't done so already :)

Reliving the 1920s

As promised, here are our pictures from the 1920s-themed birthday party (hosted in celebration of a friend leaving her 20s and turning 30 - clever, eh?) we attended last weekend. I know my photo quality is abysmal but the indoor photos were taken with an iPhone. Not sure a Canon rebel would have passed as an authentic 1920s accessory. For that matter, pretty sure my iPhone didn't pass as an authentic accessory either.

As for the outfit, I'm wearing a hodgepodge of items: an old Nordstrom Rack dress, a vintage fur shawl and clutch borrowed from my mom-in-law, pearls and feathers borrowed from my mom. My goal was to buy as little as possible and I think I succeeded - the only "new" item is the headband. I feel like my crazy mix pulled together for a fairly authentic look. I should note that my amazing mom helped with my hair. After putting the headband on, I pulled back the top half and secured it. My mom divided the hair into three sections, rolled each section under and pinned. It was a super easy hairstyle and quick to throw together.

We had such a great time at the party that all of us were wishing we could have another. And I'm curious as to which era will be popularized next - the 40s? 50s?

Have you been to a Great Gatsby-type party? Did you have trouble finding something to wear?
