Floral Leggings and Chambray

I am not good with "fall" colors.  I just really really love bright colors.  Case in point: these floral leggings.  I do love a good cozy sweater and anything maroon, but I just can't get away from bright pinks and blues.  At least I paired them with a fall-appropriate top.  BUT, chambray is really kind of an all year round thing for me.  Oh well.

Versatility and Tassels with Stella & Dot

  

   

Whenever I am about to drop more than I should on a dress, I justify by saying, "I can style it so many ways!"  I normally don't have that sort of mentality when it comes to jewelry.   That's not to say I don't often over-shop for baubles.  However, Stella & Dot's Versatility Shop has changed the game.  You often have those subtle pieces that make their way into most weekday outfits or those statement pieces that come out once or twice a year.  But, what if you have a necklace that could be both, and everything in between?

That's the Aida Tassel Necklace. The antique, brushed gold finish and the tassel are inspired by the Grand Bazaar (according to Stella & Dot).  Each "fan" and the tassel is removable.  So, you can go with a gold collar necklace or all the way to a long 3-fanned tassel necklace.  I love that the fans make the length versatile, so you can customize the necklace to go with the neckline of your top or dress.

Daytime Sequins and Chambray

I am a big supporter and advocate of sequins.  However, it's pretty difficult to incorporate into a daytime outfit.  I said difficult...not impossible.  I am willing to test drive a few sequin adorned daytime look for my craft.  And I think my first attempt went pretty well.  I utilized an old blogger trick.  When all else fails...add chambray.  I threw in some booties, a tee, and a cross body bag to dress down the sequins.  I may have gone a little too heavy with the jewelry.  But, I just can't helo myself.

Double Denim

Here is my Canadian tuxedo.  I was a bit afraid of this trend.  I feared looking out of date and a little silly.  So, I added a faux fur vest and a hat.  I guess bows and faux fur make me feel less silly somehow.

Chambray and Cats

When I put on this outfit a few weeks ago, my sister commented: "Huh, that makes you look skinny."  That's pretty much the nicest thing she'll ever say about my clothing.  Unless it's a J. Crew button down and khakis, she hates it.  So, the fact that she was able to restrain herself from gagging at hte sight of a cat print means a lot to me.  Ah...sisterly love.

So, it's been a whole week since I've blogged!  I have a really good excuse though....visit from my sister, bridal shower, Scot's birthday, brother's 21st birthday, 2 Thanksgivings, stomach virus.  I think that pretty much sums up my recent life. 

At least I had the decency to come back into your lives with a super sweet chambray dress and a hat.  I figured I already own a denim shirt and I wear denim pants all the time...why not just go full throttle denim with a dress?  Well, I guess going "full throttle" and combining  the denim shirt and pants would be a denim jumpsuit.  But, I don't look good in jump suits.  And I feel like it would be super annoying to go to the bathroom.
