Purple Print-cess

Yesterday I attended a big dinner party with lots of close friends and family to celebrate my mom and dad's 37th wedding anniversary.  Oh, they've had their ups and downs, as I'm sure most couples do, but the bottom line is that they've worked hard to build a rock-solid marriage and have been determined to stick together...no matter what.  They're inseparable companions: working together, eating together, sleeping together.  Lol, I love my husband, I do, but I think that if we had to spend every waking moment together, we'd probably drive each other crazy!  All joking aside, however, I truly admire my parents' resilience as a couple and can only strive to build such a strong, lasting bond with my husband.

I'll take any excuse to dress up, but I think this occassion was an excellent reason to do so, don't you think?  I wore a flared, clip-dot cotton voile dress printed with purple florals and accented with delicate crochet lace as well as pintuck and pleat detailing.  It was a gift from my mother and sister, who saw it on a shopping trip at Kohl's and immediately thought of me.  Wasn't that sweet of them?  They know my taste so well!  I paired it with some white leather eyelet platform mules by Guess and jewelry by Lovelina, of course. :)

Cloches and Capelets

I think I might have mentioned once that I'm sensitive to cold, therefore not a big fan of the fall and winter season.  However, I do like fall and winter fashion, so I guess there's one good thing to say about cold weather.  Here's to being cute in the cold!  :D

Cloche :: Macy's

Poncho/Capelet :: Kohl's

Jeggings :: Express

Boots :: Rockport

Bag :: Kate Spade

Hope you're all having a great weekend so far! :D

Hugs,

Sweater Season

Actually, it was sweater season about a month ago, but I didn't get around to shopping for some new fall threads until last week, so my latest style post comes a little...late.  Oh well, better late than never! :)

Sunglasses :: Juicy Couture

Cardigan :: Kohl's

Tank :: Hollister

Jeggings :: Express

Boots :: Cathy Jean

Bag :: Marc Jacobs

I LOVE my sweater!  It's gorgeous, figure-flattering, and cozy.  I cannot believe I got it from Kohl's! 

These boots are amazing.  Not only are they super-cute, but they're really comfy too.  I can walk all day in them!  Mine are a buttery shade of taupe, but they also come in black, brown, and grey.

Since I was wearing all neutrals today, I decided to add a pop of color by accessorizing with a bright red Marc Jacobs bag.  Certainly does the trick, don't you think?
