Printed

[Top - Old Navy; Necklace - Lou Lou's; Skirt - Target; Shoes - DSW]

When I saw this skirt on Margo of Classroom Couture, I knew I needed something similar.  My work BFF was with me when I saw this number and told me it was hideous.  I gave her a "pish posh" and took it to the dressing room anyways.  When I came out, she said it was like a new skirt.  Sure, off the hanger it may look like an ugly 70's upholstered couch, but it definitely gives the color burst that is necessary for this lovely weather.  Plus with all of the colors, the top/shoe/accessory combinations are endless.

Did you ever find an item that took on a transformation when you put it on?

I've Found What I've Been Lookin' For

[Sweater - TJMaxx; T-Shirt - American Eagle; Necklace - Lou Lou; Jeans - Express; Boots - Aerosoles]

I have been on the look out for certain sweaters this season.  I'm asking for a white cableknit for Christmas.  I am on the look out for certain sweaters with fun prints.  One day I will get my hands on the perfect ugly Christmas sweater.  And I wanted a perfect tan, chunky, cableknit cardigan.  Dear TJMaxx, you always pull through.  I think I could wear it every day.

In other news: on our excursion to Alexandria, I discovered my first Lou Lou's Boutique.  I fell in love.  I decided not to buy the whole store, but I'm pretty sure the boyfriend thought there was a possibility of that happening.  This red bauble necklace was one of my purchases and worth every penny.  I think I could take one in every color (I also have one in blue, a turquoise translucent gem one, and purchased a pearl one the same day) and have been browsing the website daily thinking of what my jewelry collection is going to look like.  I know what's going on the birthday wishlist this coming year! (Hear that?  Spoiled me thinking of April birthday wishlists... SHEESH!)
