GETTING GRAPHIC

Eek! Still so excited about the new blog design. Squarespace is AWESOME.

Anyway, about the post: You just can't go wrong with a bold graphic print. They're really easy to pair with something neutral, or with colors that are found in the print itself. This particular one, from the Phillip Lim for Target collection was especially praised, for having been so similar to the graphic print in 3.1 Phillip Lim's main collection.  

Now that the temperatures are dropping, and we're able to start layering, it makes for some really fun combinations. Watch me be the queen of layering in the next few months, before I just entirely bundle up in a giant puffy coat and hibernate for the Michigan winter! Brrr!!

So if anyone is as big a fan of Sex and the City as I am, they will immediately get the reference to “the naked dress.” It’s the dress that started it all - Carrie wore it to her bus wrap photo shoot and most importantly, of course, to her first date with Mr. Big.

It’s really not even as much about the color as the state of being in a dress like this one. It simply changes your attitude, your confidence. This is definitely my version of Carrie’s dress.

(FAUX) LEATHER & LACE

Whoa, there! Two posts in a week, whaaat! I’m happy I got to squeeze another one in this week. I’ve been getting up pretty early to get work done in the morning, because there’s so much to do. I guess this is a plus of being an early bird.

Today is a gorgeous day here in Michigan - high 60’s this morning, probably going to get a lot warmer later today. Such a perfect day to layer on an outfit like this! This white lace top is part of my finds last weekend. It’s so sweet and feminine, I had to break it up with a hint of spikes and leather.

Anyway, if you’re in Michigan, get outside today! Go rake a pile of leaves and jump in it. I may just be doing that later. :)
