Daily Outfit - 1/25/12

I love it when I come across easy, fun dresses that don't require you to layer under and/or over them (and why is that so hard to find?!). So, when I spotted this bright purple dress with the extra detailing of the cinched sides and pockets I knew I needed to grab it. It was the perfect piece to just had a patterned infinity scarf and booties too.

I have to admit it - I kept petting myself in this outfit. This sweater is so soft and the fur so cuddly and warm. I decided to do some fairly bold pattern mixing too with the stripe shirt and print skirt as I was  inspired by a look on Pinterest (imagine that!).

Daily Outfit - 1/23/12

Today was the first Monday in over 4 weeks that I had to work one and whoa, I could feel it! I have become addicted to 3-day weekends. Oh well, until I win that lottery I better just enjoy. A great way to celebrate a Monday is by wearing a fun, new zigzag skirt. I just can't get enough of adding this bright royal blue to black and white (I did here, here and here also).

I Want Those Shoes!

One of the blogs I enjoy reading is I want to be her! by Andrea Linett (co-founder of Lucky Magazine). Recently they shared Lara, and I fell in love with her snakeskin platform pumps.

Aren't they great? Love them paired with the black opaque tights and leather here, and they would be awesome with a floaty floral dress come warmer temps too.

And the best part? They are currently on sale for less than $30! Go ahead, grab yourself a pair!





And just in case that isn't a good enough deal for you - shop through Ebates and get 3.5% cash back ($1.04, making them only $28.66) and receive free shipping on any order!  Oh yeah!!

Daily Outfit - 1/20/12

I love it when I can find "trendy" things by the way of vintage goodies at a thrift store. This past spring or summer (I think) H&M introduced some horse print items (dress, shirt, skirt and some scarves). I saw them on other bloggers and loved the print, but never made it to the store to get some horses for myself. So, last month while I was thrifting I was ecstatic to find this horse print vintage blouse. I love that it has the trendy horse print while still being unique.

I opted to pair the top with a red cardigan and red necklace to do some monochromatic layering. Normally I would have grabbed more other colors, but like the look of red on red on red that I pinned a while back (picture below).
