Hello, 2017!

Happy New Year, everybody! I have high hopes for 2017, even though 17 is a prime number and I have an irrational dislike for prime numbers. (Judging by the responses to my poll, very few people share this optimism, but then again, I didn't get a statistically-significant sample. (I guess there's no such thing as ex-social-scientist. Ok, enough with the parenthetical remarks!)) In the nine or so hours that it's been 2017 in my time zone, nothing bad has happened yet, so I suppose it's already off to a better start than 2016, at least on a global level. Personally, 2016 was actually a pretty stellar year!

While I know it's something of a cliche to make New Year's resolutions, I've always liked making (if not always keeping) them. Thus, in the spirit of trapping myself through public accountability, I'm going to share a few of mine with you, as well as some photos from our Vegas honeymoon!

Staying Warm in Wool

Happy Friday, everyone! Today's post is chock-full of Hallocky goodness, by which I mean an outfit and some self-reflection. Yay! Onward to part one: the outfit!

Turtleneck: H&M
Pinafore: Banana Republic
Bag: TJ Maxx in LA, several years back
Belt: J.Crew
Heart pin: Femme De Bloom (in purple!)
not visible: Malco Modes pettipants


This wool pinafore makes me so happy, and definitely would've been in my rotation back when I was teaching, as it's professional but still very fun, and it has pockets! It's fully lined, so 1) there's no danger of life-destroying itchiness and 2) it's even warmer, which made it the perfect thing to wear when it was 9 degrees Fahrenheit with 15 mph winds last week. I followed the advice in yesterday's post when I ventured outside in this outfit, and layered on some thigh-high socks, leather boots, pettipants, and my Serious Business winter coat. Success! I think it would also look cute with a mustard-yellow or nice plum cardigan, both of which I already have.

Introspection is under the cut!
