What I Wore: Color Pop

(what I wore: 80s motorcycle jacket – vintage from a garage sale, sweater – thakoon for target, necklace – vintage from mae’s heirlooms, skirt – bcbg, tights – hue, booties – asos)
I hope you had a wonderful holiday. I am struggling to come back to “real life” after such a lovely break.

What I Wore: Winter in the Tropics

(what I wore: dress – vintage from The Grey Dog, blazer – f21, tights – hue, pumps – jessica simpson, earrings – f21, tutu as slip – ebay, lips – covergirl outlast + lip perfection as seen here)
I love making summer dresses work in the winter. Sometimes the easiest way to do that is with a dress that has black in it. This tropical dress is so summery on it’s own but with the black tights and blazer, it works for winter as well.
Here is the dress from summer…

And today…

Sneak Peek: My Wedding

Here are a few of my favorites from our wedding. I’ve got a lot more to share with you after the new year! xo Payton

My earrings and bracelet were antique Mikimoto pearls borrowed from my new mother in law. My engagement ring is a family heirloom that belonged to Robert’s great-grandmother. My wedding ring was created to match by the best jeweler in the state, Mark Fleischner from Lauray’s in Hot Springs. Robert’s ring is also from Lauray’s.

What I Wore: Winter White

(what I wore: dress – impressions, tights – hue, booties – asos, earrings – kate spade)
This sweet little dress will forever remind me of my wedding. I wore it to our day-after brunch, where I promptly ate carbs for the first time in a month.That didn’t go over so well but anyway, all in all it was such a lovely experience where I was able to speak to so many loved ones that I didn’t have a chance to at our wedding. Alas, I digress. Here is how I wore it that day (with some of my sweet college friends).

What do you think? Does it work with the black tights? I am obsessed with the booties I have on but I think they may not work with this look. It might need more of a platform since the dress is a longer length and I am a shorty.
PS: the booties are $27 on asos.com right now!

What I Wore: Patterns

(what I wore: dress – vintage laura ashley, tee – no boundaries, tights & earrings – forever21, ring – mom’s, platforms – vince camuto)
I was initially a little unsure about this look but I loved how it turned out. Quirky and fun.

What I Wore: American Girl

(what I wore: sweater – ralph lauren, skirt – unnamed vintage, booties – target, bracelets – forever 21)

I felt like this was an All-American kind of outfit. I’m currently obsessing over these wedge booties from Target! I’m the kind of person that will rock bare legs from time to time all winter, with the right footwear. There are only so many outfits that pair well with tights. Am I right?

What I Wore: Snowflakes

(what I wore: sweater – izod from potter’s house thrift, skirt – zara, fleece leggings – ?, boots – ebay, earrings – vintage)
When I woke up to see the first snow of the season, I was inspired to bust out my snowflake sweater. I love this sweater but I’m not sure I love the combo. It’s difficult to tuck a thick sweater into a skirt and work it.

What I Wore: Cotton Candy

(what I wore: dress & belt – vintage from cheap thrills, sweater – vintage from potter’s house, tights & earrings – forever21, platforms – bcbg)
I felt like a confection in this outfit. I threw it all together but I think it worked. The sweater (also seen here) is absolutely divine. I hope you’re having a good week! xo

What I Wore: Sequins

(what i wore: sequin jacket – vintage from potter’s house ($3!), shift – tj maxx, tights – dkny, platforms – nine west, lips – covergirl lip perfection in hot)
I haven’t posted an outfit lately. I’ve been feeling so frumpy and lazy and have been sick for what seems like weeks. ppppppoooor me! I’ve found an incredible amount of cheap and fabulous jackets/blazers/sweaters at this creepy little thrift. It’s quite exhilarating to find something fabulous for under $5! I’ve also been into wearing a bold red lip and not much else in the form of beauty regimen.
