Long over long

Today's Layer Up challenge is Long over Long.  I had this specific outfit in mind as soon as I read the information for the challenge week.  I have been wanting to pair this sweater with a longer skirt for awhile now.  I like the result, though I still think I might look into have this skirt shortened.  It is super long and I think it would just change up the overall look a bit if I had it shortened just a wee bit.

In hindsight I don't know that my fun new electric blue tights from Target go with this all that well, but I gave it a go anyway!  They are a lot bluer than I was expecting.  Can't blame a girl for trying though!

Also chose to wear my scarf today that I bought in November.  I'm sure you've all seen the 25 ways to wear a scarf video on You Tube - crazy right?  I am so boring though, I stuck with the infinity style today!

In other news, we ordered a Kitchen Aid mixer and it was delivered yesterday!  I am so excited to try making my cupcakes with a better mixer than my hand held one!  The Pants Monkey bought the meat grinding attachment because he wants to attempt making homemade sausage.  I have wanted a mixer for so long, but couldn't justify buying one, not just for the money, but because I didn't feel we had the room in our kitchen.  We still really don't, but we're going to make it work!  And because I'm a nerd, here is a picture of my pretty new toy:

The color is "Persimmon".  I'm looking forward to baking some cupcakes for the Super Bowl on Sunday!
