Working on it

It's been raining for a few days.  With the smallest bit of sunshine outside, I decided that I wanted to wear a dress.  I bought these tights over a year ago and am just getting around to wearing it.

I don't think I'm love with this outfit. I forgot to take a detail pic of my tights. I may add that later.

I've got places to go!

This was an errand-running outfit.  I really wanted to wear the top, so I built an outfit around that.

Anniversary

I'm not sure if I like this outfit. It looked better in my head. Hubs and I headed out for a fancy 6-course dinner to commemorate our other wedding anniversary.

Can you believe I've had this dress for over a year and this is the FIRST time I'm wearing it? Shame.

Resolution

My penchant for creative outfits is slowing down a bit.  I think it's the weather, it's confused.  I realized that I don't repeat many of my tops here.  It's not that I don't re-wear tops, I just don't seem to like what I'm wearing when I do.  I suppose that should be one of my resolutions?

You can stand under my umbrella

I've been debating whether or not to include pictures of my head on this blog.  I started this blog for myself and never intended to share with anyone.  Not that I was super secretive or anything, I just don't think any of the pics are blog-worthy and only served to create motivation for myself to get dressed.

I wore to run errands today. Those are jeggings, they're made of lightweight denim with an elastic waist, so I'm not sure they're really jeggings, maybe faux jeggings? I love them because elastic waists are a must after New Years partying creeps up around your midsection. The flats are canvas oxfords from LA's Chinatown.

Cardigan: Target

Top: Macys

Bottoms: Ross

Shoes: Wells

Happy 2012!

Despite all my efforts to wear something from the closet for NYE, I wound up buying all new things.  I should add that I bought them all one or two days before NYE.

I'm really proud of this outfit, $20 for the blazer, $18 for the dress and $17 for the shoes. Yay!
