Okay so this is technically not a “Today’s Threads,” but trust me, you wouldn’t want to see what I’m wearing today. I’ve been sick for over a week with some kind of sinus infection/cold thing, so I’m in my jammies. Not doing a whole lot of jammin’ though. So, here’s what I wore to my Dad’s house for Christmas Eve.
From the bottom up: Red vintage boots: Bellini, loveyvintage, $30. White leggings: Marshalls, $8. Green polka heart jumper: Forever 21, found at Savers, $8. White top: Old Navy, $5. Clock heart necklace: I can’t remember who the designer is, but I bought it at Brazen Betties for about $30. Brown headband: 3 for $1, Dollar Tree, bought when I was making hair accessories.
I also got a haircut, which I was in desperate need of. Thanks to Mish <3.

I hope all of my US readers had wonderful Thanksgivings, and all of my international readers had wonderful weekends! :) I spent my Thanksgiving with my Dad, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Ray, Stan, and Jill!
Friday, I vended at the Brazen Betties Indie Craft Fair in Torrington and it was a blast! I made a good amount of sales, and lots of people stopped to chat with me about why it’s so important to buy from independent, local, small businesses, so I was happy to see that many others are doing their own versions of a Conscientious Christmas Challenge.
I didn’t have Jill with me for this craft fair, so you’ll have to excuse the slightly grainy iPhone photos. Not everyone can be a stellar photographer ;) This fair was a lot smaller than the Manchester Art Association fair, so I got to travel a bit, see other booths, and make new friends!
This is Ali Smith and she is just an all-around cool person. She’s a graphic designer, she makes jewelry, she lives about 5 minutes from me, and she plays roller derby. We are definitely going to be hanging out soon. Check out her Etsy shop, Birds and Beads.
Rachel DeCavage runs Sugar Plum Designs and makes some of the coolest aprons and skirts I’ve ever seen. I bought one of her shirts {above} and wore it yesterday.
I also bought this sweet mug from Matt Guerette, who was selling handmade pottery. I’m actually drinking green tea out of it now. :)
How did you spend Black Friday and Small Business Saturday? Did you do some independent shopping?

I looove this skirt and I love Sabrina for making me try it on and buy it during our Styling Session. It’s classically me because it’s artsy and colorful, but also form-fitting and sexy, so it’s more “grown up” than a lot of my skirts. I pulled colors from the skirt and went for a funky yet professional look for work today.
Here’s what I wore: Mary Jane wedges: Bongo, Uptown Consignment, $6. Turquoise diamond tights: Marshalls, $4. Artsy floral skirt: Forever 21, $12. Leafy vintage belt: loveyvintage, bartered. Peach top: Old Navy {found at Uptown Consignment, $6}. White halter top: H&M, $5.

I got this new vintage {there’s an oxymoron for ya!} leaf belt from Jenny of loveyvintage and I put it on this morning and decided I needed to do an outfit post. So, there ya go — two Today’s Threads posts in one month! Also, don’t mind my dirty shoes. It was pouring all day today in Connecticut, but I had to wear them anyway.
Here’s what I wore today: Stripey button wedges: Roxy, Famous Footwear, $20. Skinny Jeans, Amethyst Jeans, Bob’s, $25. Leafy vintage belt: loveyvintage, traded for one cupcake soap. Cowl neck sweater top: Robin K., Marshalls $7.

Clearly, I like the pink/gray color scheme. After reading the comments on the last {scary} Today’s Threads, I decided to stay silly in my photos, hence the skirt-throwing and arms-waving. :)
Here’s what I wore today: Mary Jane wedges: Bongo, Uptown Consignment, $6. Gray tights: Forever 21, $8. Pink ballerina bow skirt: Forever 21, $18. Black button-up: hand-me-down. Ring: Forever 21, $3. Necklace: gift from my Nana <3. Headband: DIY {I took this bow from a gift box and slid it onto a black fabric headband, easy-peasy}.
