Today was another experiment. I've never done footless tights with pumps like this. I'm not sure how I feel about the outfit as a whole, but I do like the way it seems to highlight my shoes. Speaking of my shoes -- they are a physical manifestation of my spring fever. Have you caught it yet? It is very contagious! Beware! You've been exposed!

I thought I'd try out a headband, but it turns out it was a mistake. While I like the way it looks the headache I received was the cherry on a not so great day! That headache you get is a feature, you know?

Anybody have any headband advise for me? Is it possible to wear a headband sans headache?

This is a pretty spiffy outfit for casual Friday. Forgive me, but I love this blazer. On the downside these pants don't really work that great when tucked into boots. They have that boot muffin-top thing going on. That's okay, muffins are yummy and I was going for the black and white thing. Good luck with your Monday!

Today I'm electric in so many ways! My skirt is electric blue and it is also electrically charged with so much static! I already knew this skirt has the tendoncy to hold static electricity, but I thought since it was a rainy day it would help keep the static away. I was wrong. I bet you didn't know a person could ramble on about static electricity. Now you know. You came here to learn, right?

I instinctually belted this top without even thinking. After I added the jacket, I thought maybe I should see how it looked without it and it didn't work at all. I'm excited that I am developing some good instincts. No need to over think these things! Experiment with things, make some mistakes and you'll discover your own style!

I must need a nap because belting a shirt should not create such oddly deep sentiments!

I felt like I went a little pattern wild this morning, but the pinstripes on the skirt and the circles in the tights are so subtle that it somehow works surprisingly well.  Happy accidents on a Wednesday are sure to give me the super powers to finish this week strong.

Do you have super powers or print mania? Good luck with that.

Over the weekend, I purged some things from my closet and dresser drawers. This is always challenging yet very cleansing. For some reason this time of year I always get in the mood to clear things I don't need. I think it has something to do with the last few weeks of winter. When every thing blooms in the spring, it is like a whole new year. Almost like New Year part two!

Do you ever purge your wardrobe? Do you find it hard to do? How often do you do it?

Top: LOFT

I have a little double denim going on here. Who has two thumbs and owns denim shoes? This girl! Did everyone have a good weekend? Mind was productive. I did some thing around the house that I learn (where eles?) on Pinterest!

I wore these booties on Sunday (with a different dress) when Hubs and I went to church with his Grandparents. Gma made a point to let me know that she really liked my shoes. I hope she wasn't being sarcastic! Grandmas are pretty much my favorite people on the planet. They have so much to say and they have the most adorable quirks. Someday I'll be as awesome a as a gma!

This outfit is made up of basics with some added interest through the accessories. This pink belt is a new acquisition from the clearance rack at the loft. I love how it can (with the help of the epic sequin booties) turn a regular outfit into something more with a little more panache. I should use that word more often!

Panache, panache, panache!

I almost forgot I had this shirt. I was buried in a box of stuff from my parents house. I used to wear it in high school, yes, high school. I'm a pretty cheezy person, so I decided to go 100% festive for the Valentine's Holiday.

I love the way the purples in the skirt and the tights match perfectly. Smooth! I think this may have been better with a short black blazer than this creamy cardi, if only I had one of those!

This my 2nd EBEW! Go me! You can check out what some other bloggers did for Valentine's Day.

Doesn't this jacket make you think of a tux? I love that about it. It makes it more interesting than any other regular white jacket. I thought it would be whimsical to play off of that with my shoes and black pants. You think it's too fancy?

I almost didn't buy this jacket. It was in the clearance section of Express. Marked down to $48 from $128. I agonized over whether it was worth it or not, and when I finally went to check out, it rang up at $29.99!  Amazing!

If you don't own a belt that is covered in glitter, you should! It is sure you get you out of any sticky situation. Try it!

Can I still wear sparkles when spring comes around? I might have to.

Does this jacket look like some sort of championship or realtor prize? Bah! It doesn't matter - as long as it fits nicely.

I think this outfit is a bit neutral color wise, but I sorta like the way it shows off the circles in the tights. Sometimes tights want to be the star!

I had fun wearing this color combination. It really pops against the white snow. Plus, I got compliments on the nifty embellished cardi! My feet were brave today and I actually left the house in something other than boots. I'm wearing my herringbone pumps which I adore. Have you're feet done anything brave lately?

These pants tried to kill me! My heal got caught in the cuff at the bottom and nearly sent me tumbling down a nifty flight of stairs. I didn't know these pants had a murderous streak!

Any of your clothes try to kill you lately?
