coincidentally, this tee and skirt are DIY trial and errors.
when i saw jewel sporting this beautiful leopard skirt, it reminded me of something i could have in my closet. a while back, i threw together a tube dress worn in this guest post. then, i cut it up for some desperately needed leopard
and after trimming off the used parts,
it fell nicely at my knees just as i'd hoped.
look closely at my right shoulder and you'll see a gaping hole from an attempt to shred this tee...but it turned out to be the wrong type of material. i forgot i did this until i put it on. it'll get the 'ol needle and thread, but until then a jacket covers it up just fine.
my mom started baking her yummy christmas cookies this weekend. they have cream cheese in them. nuff said. the dough is really hard to work with making them a royal pain in the a$$ to make. plus, the cookies are about the size of a quarter...so it takes a lot of sweat and tears to fill up one tiny jar to give away. however, if you are on the receiving end of these cookies, you're sure to love them!
got any holiday baking traditions?
the trial batch...using up all the random decorations.

Love the double leopard and how you paired your skirt with the Rock n Roll tee.
Any cookies are good to us, but our traditional cookies are soft sugar cookies, peanut blossoms, white chocolate chip macademia, and chocolate chip M&M cookies :)
Love the skirt and the shoes. The cookies look delish and cute!
Nice job! I really like the result and it goes perfect with your leopard pumps (which I adore)!
We have holiday baking traditions too. We make melomakarona, which are something like cookies in homemade syrup, and they taste heavenly. I want to make them this year too, but we're having a problem with our oven door. But I'll publish some photos of them when I do.
Love the skirt, perfect with the shoes! I'm not brave enough to DIY much in my closet ;o)
Love the skirt and shoes (and cookies :)

Love the contrast of feminine and edgy in this outfit.
I always have these grand plans to bake during holidays and over the past years each attempt has ended in disaster with mediocre cookies and lots of clean up. But ironically I just took out my holiday cookbooks and contemplating a cookie bake off with the kids.

Oh man - cookies with cream cheese? Sign me up! No baking traditions for me... I love to cook, but I am not a baker.

You look so rocker chic!! I absolutely looove this combination, the leopard print skirt, doubled with leopard heels is so wonderful.
I'm planning on baking some red velvet cupcakes with green frosting!

I love your leopard skirt honey, you look great.
Come, check out my new year' s give away;

Love your look! I have not yet been brave enough to try to alter things in my closet. I probably never will be!
I also love the rocker feel to your whole outfit. It is a look that I absolutely adore on others, but if I try it I feel silly. Maybe I'm just not badass enough. ;-)
I love a rock&roll tee with a ladylike skirt (even if the ladylike skirt is a bit badass). And don't even get me started on your shoes. Puh-leeeeze.
merci,
Shan
I love your creativity! I just saw the sweater and I am completely loving it! plus this outfit is gorgeous, very cool, the skirt looks perfect.I am guessing where the hole in the shirt is but that is fine I guess everything is part of the design.
Yes, cookies look Yummy.

Love that skirt and mixing it with the graphic shirt is a great idea! The shoes are also a must have!!! Going to a cookie swap tomorrow. Wish I could pull those yummy cookies off your picture to bring with me.

My holiday baking tradition is making about a million of my "Famous Quarter Cup Cookies." Each cookie is made from exactly 1/4 cup of dough.. they're huge, chewy, and amazing. Kinda wish I had one right now. Your mom's cookies sound delish!
LOVE this outfit.. it's totally something I could picture myself wearing ;)
the biscuits are so cute!! we make biscuits as well during christmas season and lots and lots of yummy treats!!
love the combination of leopard shoes and skirt! gorgeous as always xx
So cute. Missing my rocker days when I see this.
