a short heat wave...??

For some reason…

I was in the mood for shorts…It was only 25 degrees?!

But…this is Ohio…

we find any increase in temperature

a reason to throw on shorts…

going from 15 to 25 degrees is an increase, right?!

Plus…once I have an outfit idea in my head…

It’s rather difficult to change my mind.

I can argue endlessly with…myself…

And I usually never win?!

green...is...good...

I’m definitely having a green moment…

always a lover of all shades of green…

but for some reason…army green is my current love.

I paired it along with my short, frilly skirt obsession…

And I was feeeelin’ fine…

For a night out…

with my husband’s parents??

Actually…

the only thing difficulty for me that night was the weather…

I would’ve preferred to be wearing my black booties with this outfit…

but the recent snowfall left very little footwear options.

As I look out the window…

it appears that you’ll be seeing me in boots for awhile…

oh…and I’m sure more army green!

currently obsessing over...short, frilly skirts

Inspired by a couple of my favorite bloggers…

my latest obsession has become

short, frilly skirts.

Formerly…I had a career in banking…

so I was accustomed to wearing skirts.

Typically…knee-length accompanied by a matching blazer.

 (Yawn…)

Don’t doubt that I tried to mix it up as often as possible

 with a brightly-colored cardigan and camisole…

much to my boss’ dismay.

Til now…I had not found a suitable, comfortable option

that would work within my new lifestyle…

until now!!

Along with the denim mini seen (here)…

My latest purchases have been short, frilly, floral skirts…

(even though it’s almost winter?!)

That I pair with layered tights (for extra warmth)…

wooly sweaters…comfy (snow-friendly) boots…

and I feel at ease…warm…yet chic!

sunday...casual sunday...

Every Sunday...my husband takes me to breakfast
 before beginning his day on the farm.

Prior to beginning this blog...I made a smaller attempt
to make myself "presentable" to the breakfast crowd...
well...for the most part...

casual for me...still entails big hair...

too-much eyeliner...and full-on jewelry.

But...now that I have you to dress for...
I thought I should take it up a notch...
so I returned to the part of my closet that I had
abandoned since moving out here...skirts!

I want to thank those of you that do check in on me and my blog…

leaving such nice comments…
and to those that inspire me through your own blogs...

you don’t know how much it means to me…
(and to my closet)

THANKS SO MUCH!!
