Flower crown

I got a flower crown from Willow Wanderer and it is really cozy and warm.
I didn't think it was really my style at first but this outfit is really cute.

Happy New Year

The smart and causual outfits worn on New Year's Eve and day.

How Kittywitch dresses in the winter.

I wasn't scheduled to do this for another ten days, but seeing as it's already cold enough to snow, I'm dressing like this anyway, and I have two followers and two votes for "How many layers are you wearing?" I think I might as well make this post now.

Plus I forgot about the poll deadline and took the pictures today. This is a long, image heavy post so most of it is under a cut. By the way, if you are offended by multiple layers of underwear, the following post might be upsetting. Fair warning.

Brace yourselves, winter is coming.

And it's getting cold!
That means I'm going to be dressing even more like the period in which my house was built than usual.


I am this close to putting on a sweater. I'm not even kidding. The vest is keeping my chest warm but my back feels exposed.

More to the point, there is a question I'd like to ask.
In several books on historical periods I read as a child, there was a section showing the layers that were worn in those periods and how the people got dressed.

Given that I live in a wood-heated eighteenth century house, I  tend to spend the winter dressing in the style of the time it was built. It's simply more practical than dressing like I do in the summer and surrounding myself with space heaters.

So I was thinking of maybe doing a photo essay on how I dress in the winter.

I've made a poll about it.

You can't properly tell, but this shirt is striped with rainbows. Of course, it should be striped red and white but at least it matches my socks.

I recently got a huge pile of vintage clothes from someone who's moving. I'm really excited about this blouse in particular, as it's pretty much exactly the blouse I was wishing I had for this outfit.

Don't forget your booties, because it's cold out there!

 It's cold out there every day!

Why don't I wear pigtails with that hat more often? It's much more comfortable that way.

Despite the expression on my face, I would like to assure you that I had a lovely day. I baked some cookies,  updated my comic, watched part of my favorite Christmas movie... good times.

 Frankly, I only took the first picture because I needed reference for a drawing.
