A Little Bit of Print

I absolutely love this dress. The perfect fit, gorgeous print, and soft fabric make it an essential. I splurged on it last spring while shopping downtown with friends, hoping that it would pay for itself by becoming a staple in my closet. It did. I wear this all year long, using different accessories to make it season appropriate. Wintertime calls for layers, layers, layers! Otherwise known as thick tights and lots of cashmere.

Subtly Loved

Typically, I hate tights. I am addicted to jeans and pants because they are so much more functional in my oh so busy teenage life. But, these tights, though not particularly comfortable I admit, are so pretty. I love the floral pattern that is subtle but noticeable at the same time. The same goes for my scarf, a cool blue subtly polka dotted pattern. This black dress has hung in the back of closet for years, and it has seemed to grow with me,  perhaps too much love?

BLACK AND WHITE

It snowed today.  Looks like my days of cuffed jeans, short sleeves, and sockless feet are over. Time to brave our hoarder's basement and bring out the marshmallow puffer coats! So, here's an homage to those brisk fall days, all decked out in stripes and my favorite oxfords. Get ready for a truckload of sweaters!
