Black velvet and sequins for day, because I feel like it

December 13, 2012 By marie 4 Comments

I am quite sure that this little sequined dress from Target will be worn by lots of small waisted people on the way to a holiday party this year, and that I may be the only silly pregnant woman who insists that it is a daytime wardrobe option… but you can’t blame a girl for trying. Everyone deserves a little sequins during the holidays, even when the sequins are splayed across an impressively large tummy. Are you wearing sequins and velvet during daylight, or are you less tacky—er— more conservative?

The girl with a Kaleidoscope…skirt

October 24, 2011 By marie 11 Comments

This little vintage skirt has a sweet pattern that reminds me of kaleidoscopes. (Perhaps I looked at it for too long, and now I have kaleidoscope eyes…is that what they meant?) The weather is playing cat and mouse with us again. A little fall and a whole lot of Indian Summer… I love fall, so you can’t keep me away from her colors, no matter how warm the October day may eventually be. Give me a cool breeze in the morning and I will take that as license to dress as if I don’t live in a fall fickle state.
Happy Monday, friends! Have you entered the ring giveaway here?

Cinnamon toasty for fall

October 20, 2011 By marie 13 Comments

I like the brown rose pattern on this little dress because it reminds me of a tapestry that my grandmother would choose as a sofa pillow. A quaint, old fashioned print, but a new dress in a fallish palette. I actually feel funny wearing this dress before fall, even though the weight is more spring/summer because of the colors. So a vintage cinnamon blazer is in order to stop the cool wind we received this week from chilling me(whoot!). What’s hiding in your closet that might be mistaken for something from grandma’s couch? Oh, was it just me then?
