This morning I woke up wanting to wear my floral pants again that I posted yesterday...but it is so dang flip'n hot here that I wanted something cooler...which is how I ended up with this little dress.  I had ordered it online from limited and was excited that this dress was very versatile.   I could wear it to church, brunch, work, derby, weddings,etc... depending on what I pair it with.  Today, I am working at fine gentleman's clothing store...Stuart Mercer's (come check it out if you have not)  and after I am doing a presentation on image and wardrobe.  I needed something that was cool enough for the blazing hot weather, professional enough for work, and fun enough to show my personality for my presentation.  What do you think of this combo?  

Yesterday I bought these 7 For All Mankind floral jeans at Clothes Mentor (local consignment store).  When I woke up this morning I was excited to wear someone else's junk...which is now my treasure!  I am in a casual mood today so I decided to throw this on with a pair of flip top Chucks!  I started with my jeans and shoes and the rest fell into place.  I really like the sweater with these jeans...it adds interest by adding another print with the polkadots.  Its not competing because it is on a small neutral scale.  What do you think about this outfit? Do you like the combo of the prints?

Love my flip top Chucks!

When I woke up this morning...I was not in the mood to fuss with an outfit.  Dresses are so easy because it's no fuss!  I threw on this Old Navy dress and knew instantly that I wanted to put a fun color with it.  I added the coral necklace from Premier Designs and the sandals from Dillard's.  It still seemed a little drab for me, so I thought I would introduce a complimentary color.  As soon as I added the broach to the necklace and added the teal bracelet from Stella and Dot...it felt complete to me.  Do you prefer the outfit with or without the teal accent?
Tip: use your broaches and add the to necklaces, headbands, purses, and coats.

There is always a big debate in my head about maxi dresses.  Sometimes the look great...and sometimes the don't.  I would say more often than not they are not that flattering on most.  They tend to be overwhelming, ill fitted, and lets be honest...they creep up the derriere if you do not have the proper undergarments on.  A friend of mine was giving some clothes away and she graciously gave me two of her maxi's.  Here is one of them...I will post the other soon.  What do you think?  It will not hurt my feelings if you do not like it.  What is your frustrations with the maxi?

Baubles are a great way to change up an outfit and add a pop of color.
