A Good One

I am not wearing this today.  It's way, way too cold to wear this today.  No, I wore this outfit last week when it was close to 70:

Yes, that's right.  Almost 70 degrees in Pennsylvania.  In December.



Rather than complain, I took the opportunity to wear one of my new dresses:

Well, it's thrifted, so it's not new-new.  But, it's new to me and I'm rather fond of it.



I just think the print is so lovely:

I mean, you know how I feel about a dark floral:

Dress: handmade, thrifted  Hat: Nordstrom (similar)
Tights: Spanx  Flats: Bettye Muller (similar)

And this one is a good one.


Happy Friday, All!

Bright Tights

Sometimes I like to wear super-bright tights:

Even if only a sliver of the tights is visible, like in this outfit, it makes me happy to know that I have neon legs.



Because, with hot pink tights like these, a sliver is all you really need:

Just enough to make you happy.



I mean, sure, they also serve the purpose of picking up some pink in my sweater and therefore tying everything together:

 

Sweater: v. old Gap (similar)  Skirt: Land's End (similar)
Tights: HUE (similar)  Boots: Born Crown "Sosie" (similar)

But, I think we all know that I'm really just wearing them because they make me smile.


Happy Wednesday, All!

The Mini

Recently I was once again lucky enough to be contacted by the lovely people at Long Tall Sally with the offer to review a few pieces from their current collection.  And, once again, I jumped at the chance.  There were a couple of pieces that I knew I wanted to try right off.  One was this mini skirt:

I don't wear a lot of mini skirts, but I couldn't resist the bold, graphic print and subtle shine of this skirt.  I think it's beautiful.  I also think that it's perfect for holiday parties.  However, I don't go to holiday parties.  I go to work.


But, I have good news!  Because the shine is subtle, this skirt is also good for work, especially when dressed down with an over-size sweater:

See?  Mostly, maybe even totally, work appropriate!  Hooray!!



In addition to being both party-ready and probably-work-ready, this skirt is fantastic because you can pair it with a variety of different colors.  It would look fabulous with a black top, of course, but I also really like it with this tobacco-colored (Gap's description, not mine) sweater.  I think it pairs well with the cream and black colorway:

Sweater: Gap  Skirt: c/o Long Tall Sally
Earrings: gifted (similar) Tights: Spanx  Boots: Franco Sarto "Eminent"

But, really, you can pair nearly any color with this skirt.  And, knowing me, I likely will at some point, because this skirt is both beautiful and versatile.


Happy Monday, All!

Onecklace for Christmas

If you remember, last year I was given the opportunity to review a necklace from the kind people at Onecklace.

I chose the "Alegro" name necklace:

I love that necklace, and I wear it all the time.


Well, this year, I partnered with Onecklace once again, this time to choose a review a couple of Christmas presents from them.  In their Christmas Collection, they have so many great options, but I ended up selecting another name necklace.  This time it's the "Carrie" in 24K gold plate:

And I also selected one of the sterling silver Circle Initial Necklaces:

All three of these necklaces are currently on sale, along with several other pieces at Onecklace, including monogram necklaces, bar necklaces and personalized bracelets.  And, with the code FFG10, my Reader Friends can get an additional 10% off of the already-lowered prices.

So, if you're still looking for Christmas gifts, I highly recommend Onecklace.  As I said before, I wear my necklace all the time and believe my gifts will be well-received.


Happy Shopping, All!

Flared and Mohair(ed)

My jeans are flared.  My jacket is mohair(ed):

And this color combination is a little weird:

Maybe more than a little weird.  But, weird in a good way, I think.



Or, maybe not.  Maybe just weird in a weird way.  Something about it still appeals to me though:

Blouse: Target  Cardigan: LOFT
Jacket: vintage, gifted  Jeans: Gap  Boots: Franco Sarto "Eminent"

Happy Friday, All!
