FLORAL & CHAMBRAY

So, I took my own advice and embraced the floral skirt. I guess the thought was in the back of my mind when I got dressed in the morning because when my fiance saw me, he quickly said, "Didn't you just post this on your blog?" uh, one: brownie points for reading my blog daily and two: "No I didn't? Did I? Really?!" After a brief moment of panic, he then reminded me of how this is essentially the outfit that I put together in my "Ditch The Black - Part 2" post. Well, c'est la vie!

There is no better feeling then finding an old gem in the back of your closet (it's even better than a $20 in your pocket!) This skirt is literally ancient, I bought it about 7 years ago from Express. I'm pretty sure it never fit right, and voila here we are-- styling it for Fall in 2013! 

This is a great example of versatile fashion! Prints like zebra, leopard, and cheetah never really go out of style (although they do explode in booms) and a fit-and-flare is a safe purchase for years to come. Invest in prints, I will. Cheetah print pumps are next on my list!

P.S. The henna art on my hands & feet is from my engagement celebration two weeks ago! Will post pictures as soon as I get them from my lovely photographer.

Till next time!

Happy Friday to my favorite people!

I hope you all had a fabulous week. It's been crazy on my side of town with all of the engagement party planning, but hopefully it will all pay off soon. 4 weeks left! 

This dress is the reason why places like Ann Taylor, The Limited, Gap, and Banana Republic still exist. I am the first to line up for a sale at Forever 21 or H&M but you won't find the same tailored styles. This dress is made to flatter and does a good job at it too. Some things are worth investing in, and your work wardrobe is one of them.

What's will you invest in?

The Boots, The Boots!

Top: Forever 21 (similar here at Miss Selfridge $44)

Leggings: Zara (similar here at Topshop $24)

Tall Boots: Rack Room (similar here at Nine West $70)

Oatmeal Cardigan: Old Navy (here at Old Navy $15)

Never in a million years would I think someone of my height could pull 
off thigh-high boots. Boy, was I mistaken. These boots are the talk of the 
town and after I got through the initial bruising and blueing from the leather, 
I am ready to go. If you weren't already convinced, you will die at the price! 
$40 for Guess Boots! Now, if i can only find a pair in brown.. 

I'm hoping to combat grainy photos as much as possible, but the sun hardly 
rises by the time I leave for work so we will have to make do! 
When's daylight savings again...?
