This morning had -2 wind chills so a sweater dress, tights and warm boots seemed like the best coziest  way to go. I just ordered this dress from Target. It was on clearance, so they almost paid me to take it! Something about the way the green an pink play together just makes me so happy!

I've been trying to figure out what to wear with this lace top. I have been sort of trying to aviod wearing it with black. For some reason, as an IU grad, I have an aversion to wearing black and gold together... (those who know about or are from Indiana will understand this!)

Then this morning it finally clicked! Just add those trusty red pants! Bam ~ Now I looke like ketchup and mustard...

I took advantage of the 60 degree weather and freed my legs just a little. Its been a while since that last time I wore anything on my feet that was not some kind of boots. Tonight there's a chance for tornados... in January!

I am almost done with my classes, and that means back to normal next week. Apparently, I am a creature of routine because all this craziness is throwing me off for sure!

I am trying to get better at styling pants. For some reason, styling skirts comes so much easier for me. Color me challenged! Any advise?

I didn't realize until I started putting this post together that I wore lace yesterday AND today. Such is life.

For some reason, every time I put on this blazer I feel like I'm dressed to attend prep school. While I'm waiting to hang out with Serena van der Woodsen and the other Gossip Girl friends, I'll tell you more about how I love lace and apparently wear it daily...

While I personally find the time change annoying, I'm glad we've "fallen back" so I can more easily take my morning photos. I apologize for the egregious amount of lens flare. I'll work on better using the newfound sunlight tomorrow. Did you enjoy your extra hour of sleeps?

I'm so sad that you can't see my shoes! They are new and red and suede! You'd love them. Unfortunately, I have certain photographic limitations when it is so dark in the morning. Excuses aside, I think this outfit is pretty good. I am starting to feel myself settle into the fall weather and fall clothes. Have you settled in yet?

I know fall is a all about darker more muted colors, but would I really be me if I didn't still use my fun brights? It sort of reminds me of the bright amazing colors we saw this weekend camping in Southern Indiana. I highly recommend it!

The biggest thing we do every year is an "Industry Outlook" for around 300 people in our industry. The market research and preparation can be grueling, but we always make it through alive. This is what I wore for that event. I was very lucky to have a photo of it because it was an 18 hour day for us! Unfortunately,  you don't get to see it with the blazer, but I can tell you I wore this one. At least you can picture it in your mind's eye!

I think the stripes in this jacket are cameleon-ish. I don't think it matters what dark shade I put with it looks like it goes prefectly. Off the top of my head, I'm think  it would go great with the Slate (shown), black and even navy. I'll have to try this jacket with some of these colors. In other news, I really like the pattern mix.

I'll probably never tire of wearing this shirt. Its pretty summer-y. Yet, here I am wearing it on the cusp of fall! I guess instead of believing in rules I just wear what I feel like wearing on any given day. Does that make me a bad blogger? Is it possible to go to blogger hell?

27 was a good year for me, but that year is now over. Welcome to the 28th year. That is how old I am right? sometimes I actually forget. If I'd told my 10 and 3/4 self that one day I'd actually forget how old I am I'd call myself crazy.

Crazy, I was crazy once.

If you've been around this week, you've seen me wearing this necklace a lot (once, twice, three times)! Sometimes it functions a bit like a security blanket when life is uncertain.

This is my first time ever wearing more than one necklace. I think it works pretty well. I'll have to play around with this more often!
