Style Post: KISS

Maybe its the change in seasons or maybe recovery from the summers floral bohemian styles, but I have been dressing very simply lately. Inspired by another blog, Tomboy Style, I rediscovered my men's Marc Jacobs cashmere sweater. Paired with cuffed faux leather shorts and chunky heals my conversion was complete. Just remember KISS, keep it simple sweetie! ;-)

New Style Post: Inspired

Finally, another style post! Due to my Husband's schedule I have not had a photographer lately for any outfit pictures. I asked him if he would be willing to get up a little early on some days to take my pics and he agreed! Three cheers for Hubby being a trooper!

Anyways, one of my favorite blogs, Ascot Friday, had a post on tonal dressing and I had to attempt a copy. Here is my version of it. Laura's style is simply inspiring and her blog is a daily must read. Thanks for the inspiration Laura!

If you don't know who Dagny Taggart is, FIND OUT! So I had 5 other outfits for my train ride south for Sister's birthday. On the day of, none of them worked out. Except for this one. It was a warm beautiful day and I just wanted to be comfortable in color. Thus this top and white linen pants. In hindsight I don't know if this is my best style post. But the goal of this blog is not to give an image of who I want to be but who I am, to be authentically me. That includes less than blog worthy outfits. When I looked at the photos I felt like my shoes looked goofy with the pants and maybe the top was too "blousey" with the pants. But I didn't want to wear jeans and couldn't find a skirt or dress that I wanted to wear!. C'est la vie! I enjoyed my train ride regardless. ;-)
