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?

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.

Red, gold, and leopard! It's my last day of work for Christmas, so why not be super Christmas-y? I've never really worn red and gold together before, but I'm loving this warm, sassy look :)

I'm wearing the three gold strands from Belize doubled and the Shine Bright studs. Seriously, do yourself a favor and buy the Shine Bright earrings (two pairs - one silver, one gold) for $23. Such a great deal!

I still can't believe it's almost Christmas! All my shopping is done, but my wrapping isn't. The plans have been made, but the house isn't completely spotless yet. So hard to be a Mary this time of year!

I'm wearing a blue chiffon shirt from Van Heusen and white dress pants from Goodwill. My husband always found good deals on Van Heusen from Kohls, but I never knew they sold women's clothes. Then we found the outlet store. Well, now most of my new clothes come from Van Heusen. Plus, the sizes run big. Size 0 for everyone! ;)

This is Belize worn long with all five strands and the Zoey earrings.

Yesterday was a crazy day. My husband had to take an exam in Athens and locked his keys in the truck! So I drove down there with the dogs (any reason to go to Athens and/or hang out with my dogs!) and we spent the afternoon walking around campus and downtown. He passed the exam, by the way :)

This is Herbie and me by the English department building, where most of my classes at UGA were. I'm wearing thrifter jeans, a sweater I got for Christmas a few years ago, and the gold strands of Belize. 

It was cold, but we had fun. Still can't believe it's almost Christmas!

Here's our monster tree, by the way. That's a whole other story.

Today I was feeling a little fierce and wanted to wear a little leopard print. I don't have much, but I'm working on it!

Happy leopard!

This is a halter top dress from H&M. I used safety pins to hold the ties down but keep the top up :) The sweater is another of those hand-me-downs :)

I'm wearing the two colorful strands from the Belize necklace, the Pistachio bracelet, and the Jasmine ring.

And thank you Pinterest for teaching me this little trick! Now my wardrobe goes even further!
