Carrying a torch for indie fashion

Winter Blahs November 9, 2008

I’ve definitely been experiencing a case of the winter blahs. In my little corner of the world it’s been grey skies and chilly winds. My best way to add some color to my days is through more brightly colored clothing reminiscent of warmer days.

This season, I’ve taken to converting more summery tops and dresses for fall by wearing them with cardigans and wearing them as tunics over my flared jeans. If you’re more into skinnies or leggings, that’s definitely a great option. Of course, if you’re a fashionista, you’re probably already aware of this, and though I’ve been seeing this trend for awhile, I hesitated. I’ve finally found some combinations that work for me and it’s help me accept fall’s arrival a bit better. (You might recall my lamenting the end of summer since ours was abyssmal with very little sun.) Anyway, here’s a look with what I’ve said in mind. :)

Circle Button Baby Doll Dress – try wearing it with blue, green, or black opaque tights, leggings, treggings, skinnies or flares

Summer’s officially over :( September 29, 2008

Yes, the title says it all. Summer’s officially over and rather than anticipating fall as usual, I’m feeling nostalgic for warm days and summer fashion. I suppose a lot of it has to do with not having a lot of sunny days and tons of rain. Some of my summer frocks barely saw the light of day or were quickly covered with boleros or light cardigans and in July no less! :O

Well, okay, I suppose that is enough lamenting. Let’s try to get into the fall spirit, shall we? :)

Dreamin’ of summer… September 15, 2008

I don’t know what kind of summer you’ve been having in your little corner of the world, but here it’s been dismal. With temperatures barely reachng 80°F on a good day, the dog days of summer missed us by a mile. My summer was mostly plagued by wind and rain. Usually, I’m loving this time of year and gearing up for “sweater weather”. This year though, I hanging on to those last few days of sunshine that pop up here and there. Heck, it even reached 92°F last week! ;)
Anyways, instead ogling scarves, jackets, and sweaters, I find my eye lingering over those lovely summer outfits that might have been.

A few examples, if you will:

50’s Retro Swing-Rockabilly Plus Size Dress by Deez – It’s been awhile since I showed you an eBay find, too long actually.

Summer Lovin’ Dress by Made With Love By Hannah – Have I told you lately that I love this dress?

LIGHT BLUE BIRDY BRALESS DRESS – I’ll skip the birdy puns and show you this unique beauty. It speaks for itself.

Hawaiian Print Top

I’m really loving this Blue Gingham dress and this price is definitely right at only $10! No, that’s NOT a typo! :D

I think this Summer Swirls Skirt – Pucci Inspired Print could easily carry you into fall with a pair black or red tights.
