It might be a little late for me to be posting Thankgiving pictures, but I've had such a busy weekend! I seriously can't wait for this semester to be over. Disclaiming ahead of time that I was without the Canon XSI and had to resort to a 2006 point and shoot camera - basically the pictures suck but thank god for photoshop.










Vintage skirt and shirt. Madewell belt.

I pretty much sat outside on the balcony with my brother the whole night waiting for the food (which didn't disappoint my already high expectations). I'm absolutely head-over-heels over my aunt's new penthouse from the dark hardwood floors to the 15th story view to the open floor plan. Amazing.

I am wearing two of the five pics I got from the pile sale last weekend - had it thoroughly washed. It was a rather warm thanksgiving, so it was nice to wear something a tad more light.
