Don't break my heart, Mickey!







Outfit Details:
beret - from my mom's shop
red blazer - thrifted
Sequin Minnie sweater from the Minnie Muse collection - courtesy of Forever 21
Twenty8twelve skirt - Gilt (click if you need an invitation)
tights - Target
socks and glasses - Forever 21
Dany platforms - courtesy of Jessica Simpson Collection
bag - gift from my mom


You guys have no idea how much will power it took to keep from pairing this Minnie Mouse sweater with yellow heels and a bow on my head. I really do think like a five year old sometimes. Instead, I just went with her signature red because I had to make Minnie proud. After all, I did live in her hometown (well, one of them) for several years and frequented her home in Magic Kingdom. Speaking of: I'm dying to go to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party (it's kind of a tradition) but I won't be home in time! What the heck, Mickey? Why does your Christmas party end a week before Christmas?! Instead, I'm thinking of taking Tessa to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter - has anyone been?

I don't really know why I'm complaining about missing out on something holiday themed in Florida; NYC is one of the most amazing places to be at this time of year. I think the holiday spirit fully hit me today, as Wendy and I were perusing the pretty holiday window displays (including Coach's flagship - I'm in the window!!). I got a little distracted by all of the pretty and wasn't paying attention to my walking (I'm pigeon toed. It's necessary); I almost took out an entire crowd in an epic stumble. Wendy totally saved my butt from hitting the ground. Thanks, Wendy! It's not the shoes - they're actually really stable and easy to walk in, because of that huge platform. I'm just a total klutz. I tripped down the subway stairs in flats this afternoon.

It just never gets easier, this walking thing. For Christmas, I want a jetpack!




p.s. FYI, Danys are on sale and they have an extra 25% off with free shipping on the site.  I just texted her to let her know and she responded "Holy sh**" - I think that means she's buying herself a Christmas present.

  4. In Kinsey's Closet: Yay, someone noticed! I rarely wear my hair straight anymore because I need a cut (wavy hides that fact a little more). Thank you!

    Steffy: Thank you so much!

  6. "I need to buy more lipstick shades" is what I think every time I check out your posts haha I have like...two. Love the red blazer!

    If it's any consolation, I've got the exact opposite type of feet. They face outward due to repeated sprained ankles and one awful broken leg healing crooked. At least some girls *try* to look pigeon toed haha...no one tries to look penguin toed.

  7. Amazing shoes! I want a pair so bad. Also, love the tall socks they always look so amazing on you.

  9. This is darling! I love how fearlessly you pay homage to your childhood icons. Minnie WOULD be proud!

    Of course I just bought myself a pair of Danys in grey snakeskin, right before they went on sale! Excited to trot them out for a show tonight. Good to hear they're stable! Luckily my center of gravity is much to low for epic falls.

    I loooove this outfit!!! You look super adorable!!!

    And I'm sure NY has an abundance of Holiday cheer ;) being an Orlando native its a shame I haven't been able to make it out to MK this year for Mickey's Christmas Party...HOWEVER thats ok because MK becomes all Christmas-partified even after the party ends!!! So you get to see the snow, the parades, everything you see at Mickey's Party on any regular day before New Year's! Yaaayy!!! So you'll have time :D

    I was fortunate to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter... in one word: Epic. It's soooo much fun!!! Words really cannot describe the amazingness you must must go! Even my fiance who's totally not a HP fan had a blast! And the Butterbeer... oh I could go on for days! But go see for yourself :D

  13. Keiko, you look as gorgeous as always! I love that sweater and just the way you layered in this look. :)

  14. Straight hair! That's what it is. I couldn't put my finger on what was different... although your curls constantly keep convincing me that I need to grow my hair longer.
    Also pleated skirts are always, always adorable. Yay!

    ReplyDelete

  15. My friend Kori and her husband Nick are going to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter for their honeymoon! Sounds like fun.

    I love your straight hair. I can't wait for my hair to grow back out!

  17. This outfit is ADORABLE.

    I'm curious...is the sweater that you are wearing from F21 specific for you? I tried to find in on the website (I definitely want one!), and it wasn't there.

    ReplyDelete

  18. Too cute for words! You hair looks gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete

  19. I love your hair straight!! To be honest, it was the first thing I noticed when your post loaded. I have been dying to go to Harry potter....I was thinking of goof over my winter break from work, we shall see!!

    ReplyDelete

  20. oh my gosh, the wizarding world of harry potter is so fantastic! and i'm not even a hp fan..

    the main attraction ride is awesome, and is like 4 different types of ride in one, and even the line in is full of fun things (especially if you -are- a harry potter fan)

    and the whole place is pretty amazing...
    i want to go back when it's colder since there's fake snow on all the buildings and convince myself it's real hahaha

  22. Love the purse! red looks great on you...I NEVER wear red it makes me look aweful, so aweful I get weird looks lol (I know all in my head hehe).

  27. You look so pretty with your hair straight! And I thought the latest F21 Minnie Mouse Muse collection was cute too. Love the JS shoes on you.

  34. I live in Orlando and have a season pass to Universal so I go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter quite often. It's pretty awesome :) My one word of advice is try the frozen butterbeer instead of the regular butterbeer. It's sooooo much better!

  38. how cute is this outfit?! i love the bright red blazer over the grey sweater. it definitely brings the whole Minnie look together.

    it's been a while since you've straighted your hair or haven't worn it in a bun. I didn't realize how long it's gotten; Looks great, Keiko! :)

  40. This is so cute! I have sequin Minnie Mouse ears and I would have had to resist putting them on with that sweater.

    Harry Potter World is AMAZING and I think you and Tessa will definitely enjoy it!

  41. I adore this look! I grew up in FL and we had season passes as far back as I can remember, so when the Minnie Muse line came out my sister and I freaked!!

  52. I definitely see the Minnie inspiration in this outfit, but it also looks very French chic to me! Both inspirations that I love! And I have to say, the red blazer is simply stunning.

    ReplyDelete

  53. The Wizarding World is awesome and I only wish I could go more often but sadly I have no one to go with. Be sure to bring money to try the Butterbeer (better frozen) and pumpkin juices and cauldron cakes. All worth. Not to mention the rides!

    ReplyDelete

  54. This is such a cute outfit! You always look so put together Keiko!

The line for the Harry Potter ride has been up to 2 hours..and that was back in October! The weather is great in South Florida now, so take advantage :)

  68. I almost purchased that Minnie Mouse jumper - its so sweet :) you look great - you've definately done Minnie Mouse proud haha

    ReplyDelete

  69. Your outfit is beaut! The red blazer and red lipstick are smashing!

    I've been to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and although the line was excruciatingly long, the ride more than makes up for it. Hogwarts itself was excellent and at the end, it's the best ride ever. My vote is for Harry. :D

  70. You are just a doll. Love your blog, it seems so honest.

  71. Urrgghhhh, I'm DYING over those shoes. Dying I tell you. I need them.

    ReplyDelete

  72. This is the kind of outfit I'll be saving photos of in my inspiration folder and looking at it time and time again. You look completely adorable!

    I had been staring at that Minnie tee a few days ago and I'm even more in love with it now that I was before.

    ReplyDelete

  73. I think this is my most favorite outfit ever... First, the Dany shoe can never do any wrong... and then you pair it with red and this amazing purse? Yes, yes, yes! :)

    ReplyDelete

  74. all that willpower and courage you mustered to take the sweater to the streets is so worth it! and can i just say that the red jacket is blindingly awesome?

    ReplyDelete

  75. I literally want to recreate this outfit from head to toe. This is the most perfect thing I've seen in the last 8 days.

    ReplyDelete

  77. Such a playful, fresh and pretty look! I adore just everything, the socks and the bag, the socking red jacket and the school skirt, the blouse and the beret!
    I too love the Dany platforms!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete

  78. I love the red coat! Perfect pop of color!
    BTW, I love how you pair thigh high socks with tights! I think I might try that once the weather drops...
