WEARS: PLEATS AND CUFFS

When I get something in my mind, that's pretty much it. I'm going to do it/make it happen, to the best of my ability. Sometime a few weeks ago, I got it in my head that I needed a golden arm cuff. A gypsy cuff if you will. I wanted one instantly (which is the way I feel about most things, ha!) so I just had Stephen cut a gold bangle so that I could stretch it to go around my arm. I have worn it constantly for the past week. In love. I'd had this dress sitting in my closet waiting and begging to be worn, and I knew the gold cuff had to go along with it. The back has a pretty button detail, with gold trim. So these two were the perfect pair, in total harmony. And, I really like it when my outfits are in harmony!

WEARS: MINT AND GOLD, OR SO I'M TOLD

Stephen and Dakota got me this little dress for Mother's Day, and I'm so smitten with it. I don't know what it is about it, probably that it falls into that cream/beige/lace category (see more about my addiction here) but I just couldn't get it off my mind. I knew I wanted to wear it as my "Special Mother's Day dress," and yes there is such a thing, just ask Stephen. We talked very seriously about it for 20 minutes via text. Anyway, the sweet Jana at August Wrinkle sent me the most beautiful, mint filled package last week, and boy was I excited! Among all the prettiness was a mint and gold ring, and I knew it was just what I needed to pair with my new dress. My mother-in-law even commented on how pretty it was! That's a sweet thing if you ask me! Lately I've been crushin' hard on anything gold, and mint. And coral. And Mustard. And polka dotted. And striped. Oh my! ps- yes, I am aware that my head looks like a lions mane. That's the Florida humidity, y'all.
