Fall Colors: Hunter Green & Warm Camel

Thursday, October 18, 2018

As much as I pride myself for my practical nature, sometimes I'm downright unreasonable. I much prefer wearing dresses without tights... even if I do look a bit ridiculous with a heavy coat over. At least I'm wearing my coat instead of say, draped over the shoulders.

Blooms

Tuesday, April 10, 2018

Flowers are blooming, snow is finally behind us (knock on wood)... I'm so ready for spring! In preparation, winter accessories are slowly migrating their way to the back of my closet. This faux fur scarf has proven to be a consistent favorite, so I could not resist taking it out for one last spin.

PS - I came across this oversized faux fur scarf that looks amazing tied and worn over the model's gray coat. Love. Can a girl hope that it hits the sale section soon?

2 Ways - Business Casual in Holiday Colors

Monday, November 09, 2015

I can't believe that holidays are just around the corner. As soon as pumpkin spice offerings hit stores, it was only a matter of time before Thanksgiving and Christmas-related merchandise followed. I've always claimed to be Scrooge-like during the holiday season, so what prompted me to consciously wear olive green, red, and plaid multiple times over the last couple weeks? Like the real Scrooge, perhaps there is hope for me after all.
