What makes me happy

Red Dress: Ann Taylor LOFT.  Sparkle Shoes: Nine West.

This is another date night pic from our lovely stay-cation and the man actually allowed me to post a picture of him too!!  Isn’t he dashing?  (gush)  :)

This red dress was a labor of love.  I spied on it and tried it on 4 times before purchasing.  Initially it was about $170, then it was on sale for $90 range, then $50 when I actually purchased it (if I remember correctly it was only $50 b/c I got a coupon via advertising).  While I love holding out and getting items on sale, often that luck doesn’t happen. 

If you know you have to have something – then I say spend the $$ – but if you can afford to give or take, then hold out and you may find a fabulous deal!  Another tip to finding deals is to know the store.  Is it a store that often has sales or coupons?  Is it a store that only holds a few sizes of each item in stock and easily gets picked over?  etc… this will ensure you shop (and save!) wisely.

Nine West shoes found on discount @ TJ Maxx.

If you couldn’t tell, sales (& my man!) make me happy  :)

Back by popular demand… my closet!

Dress: Thrift.  Belt: Beatnix.  Shoes: Nine West.

With 96% voting yes, it was definitely time for a closet revisit.  So - as promised… an update to my closet!  Not a lot of changes, but hopefully you’ll enjoy the “up close and personal” review!

My closet is located right off the side of our master bedroom.  My boyfriend’s closet is in the spare bedroom…

And yes, though I wish it was bigger (much envy for Sex & the City closets), it is one of my favorites places in my home.  My boyfriend lovingly put up several of the fabulous racks (yes, the original racks collapsed with all my clothes when we first moved in…), so it reminds me of him as well  :)

My Favorites

As we near the end of the year, I always like to look back through my “fashion diary” and find my favorite outfits for the year.  I was thinking I may even print them out and post the pics in my closet for inspiration (ps. updated closet post coming next!!). 

It was only after I downloaded the pics in this post that I realized all my fave looks were all skirts / dresses / or tunics.  I guess I shouldn’t be surprised… I’m just not a pants type of gal!

Belted Blue

Dress: Banana Republic.  Cardigan: Forever XXI.  Belt: Charming Charlie.  Shoes: Mossimo.

DSCF5369DSCF5367 

Back to color today!  I think I just get in more of a neutral mood come fall time, and have been wearing more grays, etc… of late – so the bright blue was definitely called for.

A super easy way to “spruce up” a normal dress?  Add a belt & a fun cardigan!  Not only are the changes quick and easy, but these simple changes are done with items that everyone has in their closets!

Your opinion?

This dress was another fabulous Cincinnati swap item.  I’ve admired it on Kasmira for quite some time, so was so happy to snag it for myself!

I’m next planning on wearing it with some colored tights and possibly a fun cropped jacket.

How would you wear this dress?
