“Snuggles right down underneath the bedclothes”

This outfit came together quite nicely.  I was still feeling a bit run-down from my cold, so this outfit became all about warmth and comfort.  I wanted soft, comfortable fabrics all around.  Physically, all I felt like wearing were pajamas pants and a cozy hoodie, but that won’t exactly fly at work.  Combining leggings with [...]

“It was a good and beautiful place to live”

Once the weather finally started to warm up last week, I decided it would be fun to ride my bike down my local neighborhood park by the Hillsborough River to take pictures.  It’s such a lovely location; I really should ride down here more often. Riding a bicycle in a wrap skirt is… interesting.  I [...]

“Down, down, to the frozen ground”

This outfit repeats a lot of the elements of yesterday’s outfit.  When it gets as cold as it was last week, and your winter wardrobe is limited, sometimes repeats just happen.  But I like how adding an aqua blouse into the color mix changes the whole look. Weather this cold requires strategic layering, and in [...]

“There was a perfect outfit for every minute of the day”

When ridiculously cold weather hits Florida, I go for lots and lots of layers.  Flexibility is key.  My house stays chilly at 64 degrees, outside it’s in the 40′s, and in my office the heater is keeping it in the 70s.  Having to be in so many temperatures throughout the day, I need an outfit [...]

“Sunny like yellow”

A few weeks ago, I showed you a once-cream colored cardigan that I over-dyed purple.  In that post I also mentioned that I dyed a pink blouse purple.  Well this is that blouse.  Not necessarily the most exciting outfit, but perfect for running errands on a chilly weekend.  (I was actually really cold in this [...]

“We’d like some electric blankets”

Yes, I wore this cardigan two days in a row.  I realize some may scoff at the idea, but everything else in the outfit was different, and I only own so many woolen sweaters.  It was chilly, and I needed me some merino.  In my mind, most style rules should be ignored anyway. Yesterday, you [...]

“I found some crazy places”

(For the next few days, I will be posting regular daily-outfits or Etsy Love posts in the morning, and Year in Review posts midday, to count-down to the new year.) I work on a college campus, and there’s lots of neat little nooks and crannies that not many people know about.  Recently, I found this [...]

“Drifted on the dancing breeze”

This outfit was all about comfort chic.  I was tired, I had a long day of work ahead of me, and I really felt more like staying in bed and reading all day.  But I don’t get sick days, and getting a paycheck is pretty important, so I needed to find a way to feel [...]

“All I want is to play”

This outfit made me feel fun and playful all day.  That full Boden skirt is oh-so-fun to twirl in, and wearing the tunic layered underneath the skirt helped me to keep warm while not having a thousand crazy mismatched layers on (which was my original outfit).  Unfortunately, after spending a day in this outfit, I’ve [...]

“Notice the good stuff”

This outfit is the official outfit debut of my new Fluevog Heather boots.  And let me say, they were worth every penny (and worth cheating on my ban).  They are comfortable, they keep my feet warm, the color is fantastic, the brogue details make them very unique.  Yep.  I adore these boots. The blouse I’m [...]
