I hit the beach when I got to Delaware - ta da!  Very cold, very pretty!  There's something about the beach that is just so calming and comforting to me, no matter what time of year.  There were surprisingly a lot of people on the beach, too, so I guess I'm not alone.

When I saw Lauren Conrad post this skirt, I knew I must have it!  I have been dying for a tulle skirt, preferably a midi one, but I've also had a shorter one on my list and I knew this was the one - especially for the price!  I felt like a ballerina all day, and enjoyed twirling and swaying to and fro all day long.

Did you all have nice holidays?  What did you wear?

I purchased this dress with the sole purpose to wear it to work.  Pretty & flirty, it was conservative enough to wear and I was looking for dresses I could wear without blazers or cardigans.  But after lots of wear and washing, regardless of the water temperature and air drying, it just seemed to get shorter and shorter.  I have long legs and dresses tend to ride up easily so there I was at work realizing that if I wore this dress another time, I'd be on the blacklist.  But my heart loves this dress & I refuse to give up so easily.  While I still wear the dress to church and brunches, I continue to wear it as a shirt to work.  It looks great with many different kinds of skirts - this one I had worn to work (hence the nice creasing in the skirt... I'm working on fixing that).  I can also wear it out for a dinner date with jeans when I tie it up in the back and hide it behind a blazer.  Even the under slip I wear as a nightgown.  Mission Accepted & Complete.
