A work of art..

 I feel like today's look is very art student-esque. I can imagine venturing to my painting class, easel in tow and ready to over analyze every brushstroke. Alright, so maybe I'm going a little far, but I do love this outfit! I love it so much that I wore it to dinner, then to work the next day. I love that it translates well for both work and after hours fun! This fun printed skirt was an old navy find, forever ago! Literally, this skirt is from high school. I hadn't worn it for years until last summer I brought it out of the black whole where I put clothes I can't part with but never wear (this is bad, just sell them and get new ones). I was surprised to see that it translated well into winter style also! Pairing anything with tights make it possible; right?

Do you have any recent pieces that came back from the past?

Dots and Bows. Everything Goes!

This is one of my favorite combos! I love this polka dot shirt. It was a bit of a splurge, so naturally I asked for it for Christmas a few years ago. I noticed the orange sweater while at Anthropologie and had a light go on in my head! Turns out, they go perfectly together. I love when items "go" not "match". One of the many great lessons Stacy and Clinton taught us in What Not to Wear!

Since there is so much going on with the colors and patters up top, I opted for a simple black skirt and tights. I like to balance my patterns and colors as to not look cray! 

What's your favorite color combo?

All tied up

I'm currently loving this bow tie look that is hitting the scene! In my outfit I used a 'belt' that came with one of my jumpsuits, but I posted a much cuter version on the "get the look" section! I love utilizing little elements to create a funky look. This outfit would look fine without it, but it adds that perfect little pop!

 

How do you funkify your outfits?

Bow-tastic

As you all know, I love rain boots! Practicality and fashion can often be forged to create a trend that helps us all...hence rain boots! Why not stop ruining our sandals, sneakers, and suede shoes and opt for a rubber sole. The fashion industry caught on and here come the $150 pairs of rain boots. Although I do love my hunters, I'm cheating on them a bit today with this super cute pair of Dizzy short galoshes with a bow. They've been kind of hard to pair, so obviously I opted for all black. I love rainy days and boots, so rain boots are a marriage made in heaven for my wardrobe. If only I could snuggle on the couch all day. Have a great (not too soggy) day!
