She Dreamed of Paradise

Although slightly loud & seasonally inappropriate, these palm tree leggings were necessary to enjoy a brief moment of sunshine last week.  Sunny days have been few & far between as of late & I couldn't think of a better way to take full advantage.  I paired them with an equally loud shade of blue & continued to combine textures, such as leather, silk, & wool.

Birds in Flight

Thanks to WISH for sending me this amazing blouse!  I styled it with neutral basics & paired it with purple accessories in order to keep the print as the focal point...

A Passion for Purple

Purple silk blouse + Purple suede wedges + Purple glitter bow = a color trifecta.  I added the leopard-print coat to keep the look regal.  Worn together on a very mild-weathered day while I was at home in Iowa...

The Lion

I wore this outfit, complete with my newest sweater addition, to family Thanksgiving when I was home in Iowa (can you tell by the cornfields behind me?).  It is a complete rip-off of the Carven version seen here, but I just couldn't resist the color combination (or the price, for that matter)!

Don't You Let it Go

Monday already? My weekend flew by & I couldn't think of a better way to bring in a new week than to continue my obsession with hues of red & burgundy....

Hello, Sweater Weather...

A causal outfit I wore for an excruciating long day of work yesterday (7:30am-10pm) that had to be both comfy & versatile.  In fact, this very combination (a knit, skinny jeans, & ankle boots) is my go-to outfit when I need to just grab something & go.  I'm currently waiting for the hubster to get back with the dogs so we can start turning our townhouse into the North Pole ;)

Criminal

I know it's been years since inmates donned striped attire, but I still can't help but be reminded of it when I see thick striped garments.  Casual wear at it's finest, topped off with several touches of neon...

Looking For You

I've been searching high and low for the perfect western-themed belt.  Luckily, just as I was about to give up, I found the perfect belt (in my opinion) on etsy.  I love the mixed metals against the black patent faux croc.  Slapped on a western-inspired denim shirt & a tulle skirt and out the door I went...

Shock Therapy

I wore this outfit about a month ago, but never really got around to posting it.  Since I'm at home in Iowa & the weather is dreary (cannot shoot a new post in this mist), I decided to post something a bit brighter...

Suit Sold Separately

Two posts in one day?! I know, I know...it's so unheard of for me.  I thought since my Photo Friday installment had absolutely nothing to do with fashion, I'd throw in an outfit post too.  I sort of like the fact that both these shades of red do not match perfectly & that they are completely different fabrics...

Wonderstruck

People are literally wonderstruck when I wear this coat, like I am completely insane for wearing leopard out in daylight. I kept it on the casual side with a sweat top (a wardrobe staple in my book), a pair of loose-fitting trousers, & a stocking cap.  I'm really starting to get into hats now that my hair is finally starting to get a bit longer...
