Since I went over on my challenge yesterday I decided to give it another go.   Not bad for how many little items make up this outfit although I realize now you can't even see the boots! (Whoops, I thought I'd gotten a picture of them for sure.  Just pretend you see leopard print booties.)

I'm sorry about the lackluster posts, I've just felt like a zombie the past couple days.  It's been so warm lately that we've really be trying to take advantage of it which means lots of outside time and getting stuff done.  The downside is by the time night rolls around, I'm ready to crash.   Since no one wants to listen to me whine on and on, I'm going to sign off for the night.  Take care folks.

  5. I've been wanting a polka dot top for such a long time, and now I really either need to cut up my dress, or steal the one you're wearing. Sigh, since you live all the way in Alaska, I guess I'll have to chop my dress in half. Oh well. Haha, I really love that necklace that you've paired up as well, maybe you'll send it with all of the other things I've been pining for over the last year?

  10. You know, I just recently bought a similar jacket (thrifted, baby!) but couldn't figure out how to wear it. Now that I see this outfit, I have ideas! So, thanks!

  11. I second Sharon in her love for the 70s vibe. Wide legged denim and paisley? Yes please!

  12. I don't like it at all that when I'm at home after a long workday I'm so tired that I just don't feel like doing anything anymore.. okay, I try to work out as often as I can but other things? nope, can't do those. anyway, that look suits you really well. those jeans, the airy blouse, the necklace and those brown leather accessories are just awesome together. oh and thank god it's Friday. I need the weekend already!

  15. I love the print on your blouse and your cute bag.
    It's been so cold lately that I don't want to go out and do anything at all. Of course my cold is your warm, ironically.
