Howdy! I have some advice to impart about wearing long layers like these. When getting into cars, make sure the tail of your super-long shirt doesn’t get shut into the door and fly outside for the whole drive, getting wet and dirty from snow and salt along the way. This will help you avoid needing to wash the tail of said shirt in the sink at Target — where they don’t have hand dryers, by the way, leaving you walking around Target with a wet shirttail. Yep, this happened when I wore this outfit on Sunday … oy vey.

Happy Hump Day — we’re halfway there!

Comfy, Cozy Style

Today is my first day back to work, and it’s pretty bittersweet. Not going to lie, probably more bitter than sweet, but I’ll get back into the swing of things soon enough. At least it’s only a two-day week!

I lived in various forms of this outfit for most of my Christmas vacation: leggings, long & loose layers, knit socks, and boots. What can I say? I love to be comfortable! A new online boutique called Zou Styles sent me the chevron poncho I’m wearing in these photos, and although trendy, I think it’s going to have a long-lasting home in my closet. It’s thick-knit and warm and perfectly cozy for cold winter days. (And also great for masking holiday weight from too many cookies 😉 )

Also, because I’m a sucker for great packaging, I have to share these photos of the box I received from Zou Styles.

Pretty, right?! Zou Styles is offering Tulle and Trinkets readers 15 percent off with the coupon code, “MERRY”! Enter it at checkout to get the discount. As for me, I’m eyeing this scarf and this bracelet!

Sigur Rós Indianapolis Show (Outfit!)

What I wore: Free People Shrug, Bebe Lacy Top, American Eagle Top, Thrifted JCrew Jeans, Aldo Booties, Bag C/O OASAP, Vintage Horse Pendant, Kate Spade Mrs Necklace

Last week, I finally got to see Sigur Rós live. I have been a fan since high school, but because they usually only go to big cities or music festivals, the stars never aligned for me to see them live.

I did get to see Jonsi (lead singer of Sigur Rós) in concert a couple years ago when he went on his solo tour, which was awesome, but getting to see the whole group together was pretty amazing. They put on a great show and play music like their lives depend on it … SO much energy! I’m not sure how to describe the atmosphere at the concert other than to say everyone pretty much just stood there in silent awe watching and listening.

I was really excited that they played a couple old favorites in addition to their new songs, including Saeglópur, Hoppípolla, and Glósóli. Hoppípolla is a special song for Chris and me because I walked down the aisle to the Vitamin Strings version of the song.

I went casual for the concert, becuase I knew I’d either be sitting on the ground or on the music venue’s low lawn chairs. It got pretty chilly once the sun went down, so I was thankful for the Free People shrug that I had just bought earlier that day!

We didn’t take our camera to the concert, but I did take an Instagram photo:

And, of course, I wore my concert tee the whole next day:

Any other Sigur Rós fans out there?
