With cooler mornings and evenings, I was finally brave enough to wear this lovely 50s shirt dress.

I thought my favorite blue suede shoes would be perfect to pair with this ultra sweet and ladylike frock.

Isn’t this such a fun little number? I knew it would be perfect with my $10 platforms.

What I Wore: White on White

what I wore: blazer – banana republic, dress – gianni bini, heels – jeffrey campbell, sunnies – gas station

I love a polished look. I thought the white sunnies and the white platforms added just the right amount of funk to an otherwise tailored look.

What I Wore: Cream Puff

This is a dress for all seasons. In August, I wore it to my post-wedding brunch. In December, I wore it with black tights. I love shape, the color and of course the bow.  Paired with a muted plaid blazer and my new favorite earrings, I thought it proved its versatility.

What I Wore: Color POP

what I wore: dress & heels – tj maxx, sweater – express, earrings – vintage from mae’s,

Sometimes it’s fun to have one pop of color and others I just want a color explosion. Case in point, this dress.

What I Wore: Breaking the Rules

what I wore: dress – vintage paper white from cheap thrills, slip – target, platforms – forever 21
I’ve never adhered to the no white after labor day rules. No, maybe I wouldn’t wear a strapless white shift with sandals in the snow, but that’s really about practicality and not about following set guidelines. On the first day of March, the forecast was for 74 degrees. I am a self-proclaimed sun worshiping summer lover and I took the opportunity to wear a white lattice dress. I knew the minute my eyes locked on this dress that it would have to be mine. You know that moment when you have the internal argument with yourself about how much money you can possibly let yourself spend? Luckily it was $18. And I have to tell you this is the very best silhouette for ANY WOMAN. Ladylike & feminine, it accentuates the waist, shows the legs and covers the arms. PERFECTION.
