You know it’s inevitable…. one of these days we’re going to be the old ladies who wear ornaments and Christmas sweaters. OH my… maybe even some of us have already started, with the Santa Hats, and playing the Christmas radio station the day after Halloween. Well, it’s starting for me. Ever since I saw Kingdom of Style’s Deer Necklace, I can’t get that image out of my head. “I want it, I want it”. I think as I’m browsing through the ornaments at the Christmas Market, only here in Germany, many ornaments are wooden, which is absolutely lovely, and I found this wooden laser cut stag that works perfectly into a necklace.

You look great in this outfit! And your necklace is so cute. I like that he’s a mighty mighty stag instead of a cute doe.
aw thanks ashe! yeah, i love mighty stags… one of my former co workers told me that the stag was my power animal b/c i have a few clothes with stags on them. hehe
I think it’s great you incorporated a cool holiday accessory with your outfit! I love your make-up and your style is always amazing. Speaking of Christmas sweaters, you should check out this story I wrote for my journalism class last year. Here is a link to it: http://sweetypsylefiles.blogspot.com/2008/01/heres-christmas-sweater-story-season.html. Let me know what you think.
That’s brilliant! I have some laser cut ornaments I got from Prague, I wonder if any of them would work in the same way? Have to dig them out and check now!
I love that lipstick too!
Those shoes just made me dribble…and I love that reindeer necklace! x
i would have never thought of wearing ornaments… so crafty and economical!! props <3
mermaid

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

And if you ever saw him…
I wore an ornament as a necklace too.

❤ Retro Chick…ooh that sounds cool too, I’d love to see!

❤ Dasila… oh I’m going to miss seeing that on TV this year.
❤ Meli… I bet you look smokin hot in a Santa Hat! esp with Glitter!
Ahhh Loreal 860 Spice – that brings back memories. I used to wear it all the time. I think I went through at least 3 tubes of it and I’m fickle I rarely finish a tube a lipstick. And I love the Stag.
So fabulous! I love that makeup on you and the bangs looks great! Love the MJ shoes too!
oh yeah! Spice! I had that lipstick too. I stopped wearing it after my mom bought it too… I just felt weird. I was also 17.
I love the 2nd pic!
… with the bangs
Nice lipstick on you!
That deer is so lovely, I would never have guessed it was a Christmas ornament. I love the entire look as well. I adore obi belts, and yours compliments the necklace so well!
I knew that you will love the vintage dress! It´s so you
Glad to see it in the vintage pick of the day.
Big kisses pretty girl,
Cecilia.
I absolutely love it! Such an amazing idea that doesn’t even have to be expensive but will be so unique!
i SERIOUSLY thought you were peggy moffitt–& i would know. SERIOUSLY. [even if half asleep i mispelled her name, not sure.]
Those colours look so good on you Jennine!
The embroidery on the skirt adds a delicate and pretty touch to the outfit. Its a modern take on seasonal and folk bohemianism. Bravo.
Christmas sweaters? Ew.
I lover every part of this outfit. The blue is really a great color for you.
That’s totally awesome, J.
The ornament was made to be a necklace for YOU.
love the shoes and the layering
I love your outfit!! You always inspire me:) I have a new blog and it would make me so glad if you gave an opinion!
❤ UND- ha! i LIVED in various forms of this shade… spice, mocha, choclate… it was my shade until the 90’s ended.
i’m glad to help even a little. x
❤ MP… haha i don’t think i would want to wear the same makeup as my mom at 17… though i think my mom stills wears this shade.
❤ marta, thank you.
❤ cecile, oh my i wish i could afford that dress, i’d wear it all the time!

❤ nathalia, you’re blog is off to a great start!
cute outfit. Like it!
I love that idea! I’m sort of obsessed with birds and putting bird ornaments on my tree so maybe I can find some way to put one in an outfit.
Oh, and I love your makeup!!!
OOH what an outfit! I love what you’ve done with your eyes and the shoes are killer. That skirt is wonderful and the necklace is perfect. Like Rhiannon, I am obsessed with birds and try to find any way I can to incorporate feathers and birds into my outfits. I am so close to wearing a bird ornament on my head or as a brooch…
