Neutrals


Happy Monday my friends.  I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend.  Mine was a ton of fun, as we attended a costume party.  I hadn't dressed up for Halloween in a couple of years, but now that I'm a mom, it was fun coordinating a costume with the twins. You can see a photo of us in our costumes here.  

Being a stay at home mom, my wardrobe has become very casual over the last couple of years.  You'll mostly find me wearing jeans and a tee shirt, or sweater, on any given day.  But that doesn't mean that I don't like wearing dresses.  In fact, I miss wearing them, so whenever I get the chance, I make sure to put one on.  Because I don't get to wear them very often, it's important to me that when I buy a new dress, I am able to style it in several ways.  I've shown you before how I like to pair dresses with jeans (here), and today I'm showing you how I style one as a skirt.  It was the bottom of this dress that I fell in love with when I bought it, so it was only natural that when I added a cozy sweater, it turned into the perfect skirt and top combo.  I finished my look with my OTK boots (I told you I'd be living in them this fall/winter) and my camel coat for a look that can take me from day to night.

  7. This loom is perfection, one of the best ever. I especially love it with the stunning over-sized camel coat over it. Your earrings, bag, sweater and especially coat and dress are all beautiful. I used to own a similar Foley+Corina bag but it got stolen. =(

    Have a most fabulous November and happy Monday my friend! And that photo of you and the boys, super adorable!!! <3


    P.S. I will e-mail you a little later today for a fun idea I have in mind. Thanks.

  29. You really are BRILLIANT!!!! I LOVE the flirty hem of the "skirt" and the chunky knit over the top! Girl, you have inspired my fall wardrobe!!! I am new to being home and some days I just don't wanna get dressed BUT how simple is a skirt dress and a sweater - takes the same amount of effort AND looks polished and pulled together!!
