afternoon delight

the light around 3pm is so pretty right now. it bounces of the snow outside and brightly bursts through the windows. it makes you think just for a second you could wear an outfit like this outside without a parka. this top is actually a diy. i saw this cool beaded shirt at french connection and thought i could make that. so i got this less expensive tunic version and sewed on the black beads at the collar. it was easy and the beads were under 5$ so i made the top for 20$ less then the original. this top can also be worn on it's own with tights as a dress so it's even more versatile. with it i'm wearing one of my favourite pairs of jeans that i've had for 3 years. i have a lot of jeans so i rotate them and i can have a pair forever and they still look brand new. i'd wear these more if i got them hemmed but i still haven't got around to it, if only i was 5f8". these moccasins are really slippers and i don't wear them too much outside the house but they looked cute with the outfit so i left them on for this shot.
