Sorry, I’ve been MIA for the past month or so. In my last post, I mentioned that I’d been sick on and off. Well, that continued a bit and then I was away from my computer as well. Anyway, I am so sick of winter! It’s been colder than usual this year and I’m ready for it to be over! So, excuse me while I daydream about spring a bit. 😉

Yes, I know it’s really down to the wire, but have you all gotten your New Year’s wear? 😉
Okay, I have a “dirty little secret”. You ready? I used to wear holiday shirts in high school. Everyone loved them! I’m not even kidding. They weren’t the sweatshirt kind though. Not sure where my mom found them. Who knows?
Anyway, I guess it shouldn’t be much of a surprise then that I am sort of secretly lusting after this Candy Cane Tie-Dyed Long-Sleeved Shirt
While I’ll admit that the average joan probably doesn’t have as many dress up occasions during the holiday season as th J.C. PEnney catalog would have you believe, I certainly can’t be the only one who has a couple to go to.
Personally, I love dressing up. Any old occasion will do. My occasions don’t usually require sequins so I try to go for something original yet could be worn again.
Here are a few I picked out:
AMETHYST Purple Gothic Evening Dress – I DREAM of reasons to wear this dress! It’s so amazing!
I see me in something like this Sleeveless fitted dressed by BonBon accessorized with a colored bolero or pashimina.
I don’t know why, but I can’t help loving the sweet simplicity of this Scandinavian Line – Pillowcase Dress
More holiday fashions coming up soon! 🙂
Pep up your fall wardrobe a bit with this MISS ALPHABET brown/lavender stripe satin flower corset top
I think it look fab paired with these pants and this jacket (open, of course 😉 ) or any pair of jeans, really.
THIS Classy Blue Ribbed Tube Top
PLUS this Ninja Cowl Hood Shrug
PLUS these Soooooo Fly Jeans
EQUALS ❤
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
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? 🙂
