No More Snow Please!

Hopefully this will be the last time this year I post pictures from when it is actually snowing.  Brr...  I've had this dress for months now but this is the first time I've worn it.  I wasn't quite sure how to style it for work, and I haven't been to any LBD requiring events.  I found this dress at Target.  It was an online only item that had been returned to the store so it was on clearance for $2.50! 

I really liked the way the outfit turned out, especially the tights, but I wish I had a slightly different cardi to wear.  I'm not sure what exactly I was after though...

Day 2

I was really happy with today's outfit.  It was super fun, even if it was crazy to wear a skirt in -1 degree weather.  That's just how I roll!

Stealing Hubby's Clothes

I've seen quite a few outfits pairing a big loose shirt with skinny jeans and I liked the look, but something didn't quite turn out for me.  I look very wide in the photo, though it didn't feel that way in person.  Hey, at least I was comfy.  I will have to play with the proportions a bit before I try again.

Pop of Turquoise

I got lots of compliments on my shoes today, and comments about how well they coordinated with my necklace.  Having a little pop of color adds a bit of fun to an otherwise boring outfit. 

I've been having a hard time working this lace tank top into my wardrobe.  I've been considering cutting it up the middle of the front and turning it into a vest.  I guess we'll see if I can make it work.

Belted

I love this belt.  My dad made it and gave it to me for Christmas several years ago.  It has all the phases of the moon on it, amidst the red design.  I also have a brown leather belt with dragons on it that he made for himself a few decades ago.  He was just wearing it to work in the yard, so I confiscated it to put it to better use.

All Wrapped Up

This cardigan is quite long in front.  I usually let it stay long, or tie it in front.  This time I decided to wrap the long ends all the way around.  I think it looks pretty cute, but it was a pain to wear.  I kept having to readjust and keep the ends tucked into the belt all day.

Black

This whole outfit ended up very dark, but I like it anyway.  The top actually has very small white polka-dots on it, which I thought went well with my bubbly necklace

Blurry

Sorry, again...  I think this is the worst one of the bunch. 

The gray tank is new.  I just wanted to wear something so you could see the scooped hemline.  I like the way it turned out!  Just the right mix of casual and fancy for work.

Sassy Skirt

I read on another blog somewhere that Asos.com had started shipping to the US with free shipping both ways, so immediately had to go check it out.  They have so many clothes it is hard to pick just a few.  I ordered some things, and ended up returning a few of them, but it was so easy!

This skirt is one of the things I kept.  The pattern is a little more loud than I am used to, but I have decided that I need a little more of that in my closet.  Plus, it has a fun side-kick gather.  The day I wore it I got many compliments, and was told that I looked "sassy".

Quick Pick

I purchased this dress on a recent trip to Denver because all I had left to wear were pants and an unbreathing shirt and I was roasting hot.  I just ran into Target, found the first thing I saw that looked like it would work, bought it, and ran out.  I have been so happy that it was this dress I grabbed.  I love it!  The floral pattern just adds something that my closet was missing before.  The top is a bit skimpy so I usually cover up a bit when I wear it.
