Ivory Lace

Today is our three-and-a-half-years anniversary. Is there a fancy name for that? Well anyway, I don't get to wear my dress again every year, so I'll be wearing something at least a little similar - ivory and lace.

I'm wearing the two color strands of Belize and the Zoey earrings.

Do you do anything special to celebrate your anniversaries, big or small?

Goodwill Couture

Y'all, this entire outfit (except the shoes) is from Goodwill! Can you believe it?

I've had a bow-shirt on my wishlist forever, and this one is perfect! I'm wearing Wrapped in Faith, Real Find, and the silver Starlet bracelet. Can't wait to wear both the skirt and blouse lots more ways soon!

Just Stunning!

Along with Belize, Stunning is also extremely versatile and will go with lots of things already in your closet. And at $48, it's a steal!

I took off the two middle strands to wear today with this pretty green almost-sweater dress. This is an awesome necklace for people learning to layer.

Welcome to the best room in our house!

What are some of your best layering tips?

Shades of red

No red here, but this is really close to Marsala, which is the color of the year for 2015. This is a great shade that looks great on just about anyone. If you don't have a maroon piece of clothing, head over to your local thrift shop and get something! I just found a perfect Marsala cardigan at Goodwill this weekend and I can't wait to show you :)

I'm wearing the gold strands of Belize doubled with the gemstone strand from Work It, and the Work It earrings. Belize is an awesome necklace to mix and match with other pieces.

How to make normal things look designer

It's really simple, but it can change your wardrobe and fashion choices.

You take something normal ... then you turn it to the side!

Look at that. So high fashion ;)

This is the Kaleidoscope necklace and bracelets. Now go make things look designer!

Comfy Friday

While it's nice to dress up and feel really polished most days, it's also nice to dress down and be comfy! This is my go-to weekend look when I want to wear something other than sweatpants :)

I'm wearing the Proverbs necklace, silver Starlet bracelet, and Naomi ring (and diamond studs - not Premier). What's your favorite comfy outfit?

Scarf weather

Like it or not, it's still stinking cold here in Georgia.

I've had this scarf for a really long time and still love it. I'm wearing the Frills earrings, Kaleidoscope bracelets, and Can't get Enough bracelets. They didn't stay in their little pattern very well throughout the day today (being much different sizes), but I still liked the combination.

Forcing it

I've been eagerly anticipating the end of football season (since my team's bowl game is already won and there isn't an SEC team in the championship) so I could wear this dress! I found this gem at Goodwill with the original tags still on it! It happens to be from one of my new favorite stores at the mall, but I never actually buy anything there because it's usually too expensive. I also wanted to wait far enough away from October so the black and orange wouldn't look too Halloween-ish.

Do you love it? I wasn't sure about the black and brown combination at first, but really loved it by the end of the day. How do you wear black and brown together?

Jewelry: Botanical necklace, frills earrings, can't get enough bracelets, Naomi ring.

Neutrals

I found this cute blouse at Goodwill forever ago and never wore it for two reasons: First, I didn't have a black cami to wear under it, and second, I wanted to wear it with black pants, and these ones have been in my "to-repair" pile for over a year. They just needed a new button. Seriously, procrastination sucks.

I'm really loving how this outfit came together. It probably would have looked better with heels, but flats are so much more comfortable. This is the Instant Style necklace, and I wore the Reminder ring and silver It's a Wrap bracelet.

Shades of blue

Don't you love it when an outfit just comes together? This one came together for me while I was putting away laundry last night, which always makes the morning easier :)

I love how the pink tones in this Dreamscicle necklace play off the soft pink pants. I'm also wearing the coral Gumdrops earrings.

How do you typically pull outfits together? Does laundry ever inspire you?

Regional rally!

Amazing training, spring fashion, and new jewelry! If you're not following me or another jeweler on Instagram, start doing so now and look for the #pdrally2015 for a sneak peek!

The warmest sweater I own

This is the warmest sweater I own. It just doesn't go with any necklaces I own. So again, statement earrings!

Aren't these earrings pretty? They are light, and the rounded bottom helps soften harsh jawlines.

Baby, it's FREEZING out there!

My outfit choice wasn't the best for weather in the teens. Southerners weren't bred for these kinds of temperatures. And sweater dresses get a little old after awhile.

This is another of those dresses Brent picked for me that I really like.

Isn't this dress pretty? It definitely isn't the warmest, but I do love it! It goes great with the Grand Entrance set. I'm also wearing some diamond studs and the Jazz ring.

Also, check out my new heels! I love them! Penny's is having a great after-Christmas sale. These shoes were just $25, plus I had about $18 on a gift card from returning something last year, so this was a great bargain buy! Not to mention ... I found shirts for $0.97 each! You'll be seeing a lot of those coming up :) What's the most amazing deal you've ever gotten?

Baby, it's cold outside!

Last year, Brent got me a few pairs of fleece-lined leggings for Christmas, and they're fantastic! So warm, and they have a great cable knit pattern too.

Sorry these are a bit blurry. Just pretend my camera is shivering :)

I love how Angel Mist brightens up this otherwise dreary outfit. How do you stay warm in the winter?

Black & Brown

Another cold day, another sweater dress! Aside from being cute, these boots are also super-warm.

This cowl neck doesn't always work quite right, but the necklace is great! I've doubled it and twisted it, so all the colors and bead textures fit together in a fun, unique, go-with-everything necklace. What other colors could you see yourself wearing with Copper Canyon?

It's Cold!

It's really cold this week! At least it's not raining like it did all weekend. Then we'd have ice and we all know how Atlanta handles ice...

Fortunately, we ladies get to handle the cold in cute sweater dresses!

I love this dress, but I can't wear a necklace with it. Enter statement earrings! Darcy goes well with this ivory-brown combo, don't you think?

Neon & White

Here are two things I got for Christmas from two different people! I love mixing things and making them go further :)

It was a casual clean-up day at our house, with minimal errand running as needed. How do you spend your weekend after New Years?

Casual Friday

Our office was open the day after new years, but it was such a nice day to get stuff done! Quiet and peaceful ... and jeans day. Or, as we say in the office, no pants!

I'm wearing the small strand of the Kaleidoscope necklace and Nova earrings. This is a great, simple set, and perfect for your dresser collection!

Happy New Year!

Did you make it to midnight? We hosted a few friends at our house for snacks and Mario Kart. No big crazy parties here (or even Champagne!)

I wanted to show you a party outfit anyway though! This is from our work Christmas party, but it could work for a New Year's party too. This dress is from Body Shop (they had a buy-one-get-one half off sale recently). The shoes are from Plato's Closet (I keep an extra can of Lysol around for buying shoes secondhand). I had planned to wear the Frills earrings, but FedEx delivered them to the house next door the day of the party! :( So I didn't get them until the day after.

I'm wearing the Emily earrings, the Pixie ring, the Grand Entrance bracelet, and a pretty bracelet Brent got me for college graduation :)

Fancy party people! 

I hope you had fun celebrating the beginning of 2015! What did your party dress look like?
