Daily Outfit: Dress, Fall v1.0

Over the summer and early fall, I challenged myself and wore this dress in six different ways.  Now that some actual fall weather has arrived, I am challenging myself again to create six new unique looks for fall and “winter” (as wintery as it may get here, which will be no colder than the 30’s [...]

Daily Outfit: Trendy and Loving It

Normally, I tend to shy away from trends.  I usually prefer classic styles, and trends come and go so quickly, that it seems pointless to spend too much time worrying about them.  However, sometimes a certain trend will really resonate with me.  When that happens, I will wear, even after it’s gone out of fashion. [...]

Daily Outfit: Out on the Town

Last weekend my boyfriend and I went to this really nice place in downtown Tampa to visit with a friend from out of town.  I love a good excuse to get dressed up.  The location wasn’t too fancy, so I picked an outfit that would be chic but not uber dressy.

I didn’t realize until writing [...]

Daily Outfit: Un Petit Peu

Somedays, you just need a little bit of francais in your life.  This was one of those days.

If I only had black ballet flats, it would have been perfect.  The striped cardigan, the black slim capris, and the scarf tied casually around my purse all evoke a wonderful French feel that I absolutely love.

I also [...]

Daily Outfit: Social No-no’s

Inspired by Kimberly’s Inspiration Calendar, I decided to try a color combo that I’ve never ventured into before: navy, black and brown.  I usually shy away from all-neutral combos, because I really love color.  But I still found this a fun experiment.

The funny thing is, the entire day, I kept thinking about a character I [...]

Shopping Ban: Week 13

This week, I had $14 left from last week, plus $15 for this week.  What did I buy?

Simply Pretty button ring from ShopKim $8
I’ve mentioned several times that I’m lacking in the ring department.  I am also very, very drawn to purple lately.  This ring satisfies both those needs.  I love the nice touch of [...]

Daily Outfit: Mad Men

I’m not sure how I managed to take so few photos of this outfit, because I absolutely loved it.  I felt kind like a secretary on Mad Men all day, although this outfit still pales in comparison with Joan Holloway.  I just recently got this skirt altered.  The fit just wasn’t right before. I got [...]

Daily Outfit: Bang, bang, bang

Notice a difference in the hair?  I love, love, love how these bangs turned out.  I really wanted bangs similar to Zooey Deschanel’s, but with short hair instead of long hair.  I love how the bangs are sweet without being too childish.  And once again, they make for awesome headband opportunities.

I actually had the image [...]

Daily Outfit: Aleita

I don’t know if all knitters are like this, but whenever I finish a new project, I feel an immediate compulsion to wear it, no matter what the season.  Luckily, things timed well with this vest, because we had a cool front (temps in the mid-60’s to high-70’s) and the vest is made of linen/cotton, [...]

Daily Outfit: Let the Sunshine In

I think I am starting to come to terms with the fact that the weather will not get below 70 degrees here for at least another month.  I want the cold weather to arrive so badly, but what I really should be doing is enjoying the last blast of summer.  This outfit is a good [...]
