Outfit: My Heart is Sair + a Giveaway!

My heart is sair - I dare na tell, 
My heart is sair for Somebody;
Oh, I could wake a winter's night
a' For the sake o' Somebody. 
Ye Powers that smile on virtuous love,
O, sweetly smile on Somebody!
Frae ilka danger keep him free,
And send me safe my Somebody!
 
O-hon! for Somebody!
O-hey! for Somebody!
Oh, I could cross the oceans wide,
a' For the sake o' Somebody.

I have some delightful things to share in this post... first of all being that this day, January 25th, is Robert Burn's birthday!  The great Celtic Baird is a tremendous part of Scottish tradition and song, and most of that country's poetry, verses, and stories are owed to Rabbie Burns.  

One of my favorite songs happens to be by Burns, a beautiful and haunting tune called For the Sake of Somebody... and in honor of the day, I've put together this Scottish-inspired outfit featuring my latest Etsy purchase - the Thistle necklace from chrysdesignsjewelry!
I don't wear much jewelry at all, and what I do always has some special significance for me.  The string of pearls from my aunt, the locket I received for my 13th birthday with a picture of my first horse tucked inside.  This thistle is the perfect emblem of my passionate love of Scotland - it's beautiful, simple, and rugged.
 Outfit details:
thistle neckalace - chrysdesignsjewelry
The Grey Sweater - amazon
teal skirt - thrifted
lace tee - thrifted
suede belt - thrifted
tartan wool - fabric.com (this is actually a new bit of wool I haven't made into a skirt yet...;)
And say, did you hear that my favorite photo editing tool, Picnic.com, is closing down in April?  I'm heartbroken.
But on the flip side, they have unlocked all of the premium editing features, and I had rather too much fun seeing what a bit of fancy cosmetic editing would look like...=D
 And was it ever cold out this afternoon - the whipping wind made me feel quite Highland-ish.



Now for the giveaway!  Chrys Design Jewelry has offered to give one of my readers one of her lovely gold plated horseshoe necklaces - I am so excited!

Can you say adorable?  Just imagine the outfits you could style with this piece - anything from western prairie, to summer chic - or even an English hunter-inspired ensemble!
