IMG_4261prev1
I bought these Anthropologie slouchy cargo pants a couple of months ago but never got a chance to wear them. I figured it would be now or never because the temperatures are dropping quickly, they’re predicting highs in the low 30s next week. Continue reading

From Country Chic to City Sleek: Painted Plaid Dress

From Country Chic to City Sleek
I had the honor of doing a guest post this past summer for Alison from Get Your Pretty On where I took an eyelet top from country chic to city sleek. It was a fun concept to work with so I thought I’d give it another whirl with this super versatile Anthropologie painted plaid dress. I have no shame when it comes to this dress. I fell in love with this dress the minute I lay my eyes on it but, as always, I could not bring myself to purchase it at full price. I stalked it as if my life depended on it. When Anthropologie had a sale, I totally pounced on it and I’m glad I did because I snagged one of the last ones left at my local store.  Continue reading

Outfit Highlight: Mixing Patterns and Textures

Mixing Patterns and Textures 1
There is no denying that fall is here. As I drive around my neighborhood, I see beds of red, orange and yellow leaves adorning the driveways of almost every home creating a beautiful fall color palette. Too bad the temperatures have also been very quick to catch up to the season here in Michigan, with highs in the 50s and lows in the 40s. I ran to the car after we took these pictures.
