I’ve been super excited to wear these boots I bought on ebay a few weeks ago. They’re the perfect height and heel for longwear and protection from the winter elements. But…they are so wide on top, it’s ideal for leggings but not dresses. So, I thought paired with socks they looked a lot more fun. I’ve had a lot of trouble finding above-the-knee socks, do you know where to find?

Monochrome

Isn’t monochrome the tops? I find it easiest to do with black or white but I love it no matter the color – especially brights. It’s sleek, slimming and oh-so-on-trend.

This vintage sweater, complete with sparkles and shoulder pads was $1.50 at a slightly scary little thrift store called Potter’s house. I’m obsessed with it. It’s a delightful color and goes with plenty, plus I get a strange and heady high from this good a bargain.

I went into this little consignment store called Trendy Mindy’s a few weeks ago. They happened to have a load of vintage dresses in exactly (if not a little smaller than) my size! This dress has TULLE SLEEVES! Isn’t it divine? This dress was $15.

I wore this in mid August and decided to repeat it last week. Even though it’s cream, I think it transcends seasons.

I’ve never tried this combo, thought I’ve had the pants and blouse for a while. I absolutely loved it. It was a little intense but I adore the detailing on the blouse – hidden buttons, wrap- around neck sash. I felt very professional.

Isn’t it grand to find something that is soft and warm and comfortable while also work-appropriate? This dress does exactly that.

Her Hair

I’ve often mentioned my fanaticism for Taylor Tomasi Hill. But one thing I cannot get over is her incredible hair color. Her colorist should be so proud.
