Pin an award to your lapel! I did this today, inspired by my own style post, and it’s making me very happy.
I won this award 20 years ago when I played clarinet in the fourth grade. It says:
Illinois Grade School
Solo
Music Ass’n
Do you know how funny an award that says “Ass’n” is to a fourth grader? I still think it’s funny.
I have a new favorite dress.* It would be cute with flats or sandals when it’s warm out, but while it’s still cold I’d wear it with a colorful boyfriend cardigan and knee-high boots.
OK, now I’m off to recreate this outfit with items from my closet. I bought the dress, and I already have a red bag and a few bracelets that might work…
* The dress is great but it runs a size too large, so size down if you order it. And it is NOT machine washable, as it claims to be on the website.
ZOMG, pants!
Occasionally, maybe ten times a year, I do wear them. And I would definitely wear these cute white pants, so I put together a casual little style post featuring them. I’m also completely in love with that necklace by spinthread (seen here on Erin), so I had to include that as well. The open collar of the shirt would show it off nicely, orange shoes would be cute peeking out from beneath the pants, and I like the mix of bright white with the ivory color of the bag.
p.s. This outfit would also look mighty fine with a white skirt and brown knee-high riding boots. I’m just sayin’.
Can you believe we’re more than halfway through December already? Whew! The shop has been keeping me so busy (thank you), I hadn’t had time to put together my monthly style post until now.
I’ve been feeling so frumpy lately. I’m not walking around in sweat pants and t-shirt freebies or anything, but I’ve still been feeling a bit blah. Therefore, we have bows! Ruffles! Flowers! Pretty Shoes!*
*My apologies for picking a shoe that’s almost sold out, but it also comes in a lovely mushroom color and they’re on clearance for about $30 (score).
This is going to be my guiding principle for the holidays:
