The things you would do for fashion...

You know how you look at some pictures in blogs and the blogger looks amazing in their pictures with a snow white background or with a ground that is wet? The blogger looks so great in there, it's hard to even notice the climate around them. But I do.

Where I live, it does not snow but it can get extremely windy and the air can be strikingly cold. But I do give my props to the fashion bloggers who brave it out in the snow to give us those amazing shots for our viewing pleasure. 

I can't even dare to complain but today I'm braving the painfully cold wind to grab this picture in one of my new favorite skirts. I can't wear the lace skirt to work (or caaaan I?) but I knew I wanted to grab a couple of pics with this entire outfit. Trust me, I was back in pants right after these shots. But I just couldn't resist!

What would you gals do for the name of fashion?

blazer//H&M (one of my favs)

stripe top//Banana Republic

skirt//Abercrombie & Fitch (if I love it & can fit it, I'd wear it!)

heels//Forever 21

necklace//handmade

Here's a close up of one of new fav pieces created by yours truly...I wanted something with a bright pop ad loooove this royal blue!

Lastly, please join me and a bunch of awesome bloggers over at Stylelixer's blog for Style Session link-up!

 

Do any other bloggers feel this way?

I get giggly happy when another blogger responds to my comments. Does anyone else (reader or blogger) feel this way? At that moment, even for a short while, I have this tiny connection with someone else out there. It feels good to have a connection and to meet people. It's a source of great motivation. And surprisingly in this short amount of time, I have met quite a few amazing women. 

Thank you blog-osphere!

On with today's program... I believe it's colder in my home than it is outside so with the temp no longer hovering around the 30's, I attempted another skirt. This time my high-low skirt I purchased from the outlets for only $10! This was quite a while ago so I don't believe it's currently for sale still (sorry ladies!). 

Another item I snagged for a good deal? My necklace from H&M was only $3.00! Yes a whopping $3.00. Oh, another thing I get giggly happy about is when I find what I'm coveting for a serious deal. =)

Have you gals snagged any good deals lately?

Oh, also I just joined StyleElixir's Link-up so definitely check out all the wonderful bloggers who joined!

Spruce up your Monday!

Rather than being a Debbie Downer because it's a Monday, I'm sprucing things up today with hot pink and cheetah. Woke up to a shocking 36 degrees so bear with me if you can feel me shivering in the pictures. After this quick photoshoot, I decided to throw on a pair of black leggings. Unfortunately I was on a dash so didn't get a chance to take the picture with leggings. boo.

What do you guys think? Would you wear this outfit with or without leggings?

Ugh! Tried a new way to take pictures and it didn't work!
