I’ve worn this sweater many times before, but this time I decided to try a different spin by testing out a new color scheme. This gold/sapphire/amethyst combo has gotten me thinking I should inject more jewel tones into my wardrobe.
“Et tu, Brute?”
Yes, it’s true… I’ve joined the Pinterest bandwagon. It’s a great way for me to keep a visual catalog of outfit inspirations, shopping lists, decorating ideas, and even recipes.
Are any of you guys on Pinterest too? I’m always looking for cool boards to follow, so feel free to drop me a link in the comments.

It seems like the nastier the weather gets, the brighter my outfits become. The last time I wore this skirt, it was a downright balmy 60s degrees. This time around it’s about 30 degrees cooler and there’s a layer of gray slush on the ground. I know I threaten to move to Florida every year around this time, but it’s starting to sound more and more attractive.
Back when over-the-knee boots were all the rage, I was intrigued but not really sure if they were practical for me. So I scooped up a cheap-y pair at Forever 21 (for under $30, thank you very much) just to test the waters. My instincts were correct, in that I’ve only worn them a handful of times. I decided to give them another go yesterday, and I really like the way they work with this midi-length skirt.

I love my other snake print dress from H&M so much that I purchased a similar one. The material and neckline make this version a little more relaxed, but it still works great for the office or for dinner and drinks. Since this dress makes a pretty bold statement on its own, I decided to streamline my accessories: just a pair of gold hoops, my favorite bangle bracelets (which helped me overcome my aversion to mixing metals last year), and a simple chunky ring.

As promised, today’s outfit features leopard spots and a double dose of polka dots. After eyeing this coat for ages, I finally pounced when I saw it go on super duper discount for just $19. Three cheers for the Old Navy clearance rack!
Since this jacket is somewhat lightweight, I decided to go full-throttle with the winter accessories. My friends sometimes make fun of me for wearing mittens, but they really are soooo much warmer than gloves. And because my pony puff refuses to be confined under a hat, I figured earmuffs and a good snood were in order.
