All this past week, despite intermittent rain showers, it remained near 70 degrees outside. I was planning with glee the outfit post I was going to shoot this Sunday, featuring a very cute dress. And then today, it is only 45 degrees out. I know, I know, for most of...
Trends I Love with Abandon Skinny jeans/pants. I never thought I'd jump on the skinny jean bandwagon, but I'm definitely a convert. They do amazing things for my posterior, and are easy to pair with different shoe types. Colorful tights and thigh-highs. I haven't...
Some of you may have read on Twitter earlier today that I have this gorgeous purple Chinese blouse I wanted to wear for date night, but wasn't sure what to pair it with. I ended up pulling together something decent, so thought I'd do a quick What I Wore to show you...

This past Monday (yesterday) was a bit crazy. I had my normal freelance work to do, chores around the house, errands outside of the house, a last-minute meeting with a client, and a critique group with my fellow writers. I needed something comfortable for the...
I've been blog-stalking a bunch of stylish and craftsy ladies, and several of them do a What I Wore type post occasionally. These posts are always fun to look through, because it gives insight into a person's style and personality, and also I just like seeing the...
