I wore this combo the other week (when it wasn't 19 degrees outside)

and I love how it turned out!

Adding the jean jacket and flat boots definitely toned down 

this dress which a little to formal/business like...IMO

Jean jacket: AE circa 1999!

Orange dress: YA! c/o Marie and Marcele Boutique, Southern Pines, NC

Aztec boots: Charleston Shoe Co.

polka dots and emerald green

OOTD

polka dot sheer tunic: Lauren Conrad for Kohls

green skinny pants: NY&CO

Black pumps (not shown): Aldo

I am SOO in love with this cobalt blue dress! It fits perfectly 

and can go with just about anything! I guess you could say it is

my "Go To" dress. Here are a couple ways I have worn it.

Blue dress: GRACEdresses (from TJ Maxx)

Gold chain: Tory Burch

Leopard Pumps: Banana Republic

Same blue dress:

White and Tan striped Blazer: View Collection Suits (old)

Nude pumps: Nine West

I love this look! I've had this aztec skirt for over a year and wasn't quite sure if I could pull off this look or if it was more suitable for a younger lady. I wore this to one of my best friend's 40th birthday celebration (she was obviously a little worried about turning the big 4-0, hence the face below) to dinner and bar hopping. 

Chambray shirt: Urban Outfitters Sept 2012

Aztec skirt: F21 2011

Cream booties: Jennifer Lopez for Kohls

MK rose gold watch: gift

Comfy..Casual..Cute

Another "go to" outfit that's super easy for anyone to put together and crazy comfortable for a long day on your feet or sitting at the office (if it's a casual atmosphere). I wore this to one of my last days at my previous job in NC.

Chambray tunic: J.Crew December 2012

Black leggings: Gap, old

Riding boots: AE 2010?

Gold Tory Burch chain

MK watch

Gold and Pearl bracelet: J.Crew December 2012

I'm back!

So I took a bit of a hiatus the latter part of the year to go through some personal things but I am back and better than ever. I have decided to rededicate the blog as my personal fashion "logbook" if you will. It's what I'm good at and it doesn't take too much time to do (which is great for me right now).

So without further ado...here is a post from last week (it was snowing in Nashville and this seemed appropriate enough)

OOTD:

orange scarf: TJ Maxx, fall 2012

Winter sweater: Old Navy...old

Black mini skirt: Marie and Marcele Boutique, Southern Pines, NC

Black tights: Belk

Grey boot socks: who knows

Riding boots: AE 2010...ish

Coat: Guess
