Long cardigan

The best part about this vintage sweater dress? It doubles as a long cardigan when left open. Oh, and the gold embroidery adds a little sparkle and shine.

Navy flares

I've really been into hats lately. No, SERIOUSLY into them. Probably because of the single digit temps in Atlanta and having no hair. I've come to love them as only my mom (the "hat lady") would (as seen here, here, and here). I'm loving this monochromatic navy look…with just a pop of color. 

Sweater: J. Crew (thrifted) (similar style here), Pants: The Limited (old, but similar here), Hat: Gifted from mom, Necklace: Old, from my collection (similar here as a watch), Watch: Michael Kors, Bracelet: Stella & Dot, Ring: Vintage, Club Monaco flagship store, Lips: MAC "Ruby Woo."

Seeing spots

I stalked this dress at a vintage store for five months. It was floor-length and I had it shortened.  It's kind of amazing.

Horsing around...

I love this horse sweatshirt. It gets dressed up with a full skirt or dressed down with denim, oxblood heels, and a chunky knit infinity scarf.

Easy breezy

I usually like to play around with proportions, full on the bottom, fitted on top (or the other way around).  But this roomy look just works. Plus, it's super comfy.
