“Tut-tut, it looks like rain”

It seems that rain and this dress go together.  Or maybe I’m just drawn to this dress when it’s rainy out.  Either way, it was the perfect dress to wear today.  Florida’s weather is being ridiculous lately, and it’s already starting to feel like spring.  It’s a bit frustrating for me, because I’m really not [...]

“Smart people are those who have asked lots of questions”

In my high school days, I was drawn to preppy styles.  I liked button-down shirts and polos, even though a majority of my wardrobe was jeans and t-shirts.  I’m not that into the prep-school look anymore, but on occasion, I like to take cues from it.  When I saw this lovely striped cashmere sweater on [...]

“Ready to kick up their heels”

I am continuing to adore this magenta cardigan I got for Christmas.  I’m discovering that drape cardigans are insanely versatile.  Last week, I wore it draped with a pair of skinny jeans and a blouse. For today’s outfit, I paired it with my little black dress and my goldenrod Malibrans.  Yellow and magenta was never [...]

“They stretched their wings”

Drapey fabrics and windy days don’t really make the best combination.  But I still love how this outfit came together, despite it not being very functional in this weather.  I got this skirt months ago during my shopping ban, but somehow this is the first time I’ve worn it out.  I has such a sweet [...]

“The effect was charming”

This little bridge over a spring is in that park just down the street from my house, and I’ve always wanted to take pictures here.  It’s one of my favorite places to go to relax.  Maybe it’s the Pisces in me, but I adore the sound of rushing water.  This little spring flowing into the [...]

“No one will see how clumsy I am”

Last weekend, I was fighting off the beginning of a cold.  I wanted to stay in pajamas all day, but the fridge was pretty bare, so I had to make myself presentable to head out to the grocery store.  I didn’t blow-dry my hair this day, so it was kind of doing whatever it felt [...]

“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 [...]

“When the weather gets cold”

There are so many fun trends in the style blogging community that I feel like I miss out on because of the balmy climate of Florida.  So when we actually get days below 50 degrees, I take full advantage.  Thus, this entire outfit was built around the premise of layering two pairs of tights. This [...]

“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 [...]

“More regal like purple”

Sometimes I end up with an item of clothing where I love how it fits, but the color has grown dingy over time, or wasn’t a color that I like to begin with.  When this happens, and I’m feeling motivated, I’ll mix up a batch of Procion MX dye and give new life to my [...]
