Bright and Bold All Summer Long

 

Summer is NOT over yet, especially not when this dress needs a bit more play time.  This dress was made for summer, don't you agree?  Remember last year when I was in Rome without any luggage?  Well this cute dress was a great find from the Mango store at the Rome train terminal.  It's lightweight, flowy, fun rose pattern and the sleeves are just adorable.  It's a great length too, not to short, so I wear it to work a lot.   Unfortunately  I can't find this exact dress anymore but I did find a very similar one from Mango here.  My favorite accessory pieces have been this cute white purse which goes with everything, and gold accented jewelry like my hoops and watch.  

Tell me, are you over summer or are you still holding on like me?

Sweater Weather: Staying Stylish Through Winter

Happy Monday friends!  Now that the weather has finally improved I feel so much happier and lighter (although work in nuts with report cards, new reporting systems, and Omnicron raging through staff and students).  That all being said, the fact that it is no longer unbearable and unsafe to be outdoors for more than a couple of minutes (no joke), we spent the last week getting outdoors sledding, cross country skiing, running, walking and enjoying winter.  I am looking forward to the end of the month when we can sneak away to our home away from home, our cabin, where these pictures were taken.

In winter my staples are cute sweaters.  Sweaters with jeans.  Sweaters over dresses.  Sweaters with skirts.  Sweaters with leggings.  The combinations and coziness is endless.  This oversized sweater is heavily in rotation late fall and through winter.  It can be a loose fitting tunic.  A sweater dress cinched at the waist with a cute belt.  An oversized, tucked into loose fitting or skinny jeans.  Pair this look with some leather casual booties like my Blundstones, cute knitted toque and mitts, for a weekend winter look.  Since the weather was mild you can throw on a vest for added warmth or if you are going out for drinks in the city, pair this with some cute slouchy heeled booties, throw on your wool dress coat, and leave it over to showcase your outfit.  Whatever your agenda is, having an oversized sweater gives you plenty of options to dress it up or down depending on your lifestyle but you never have to comprise on comfort or style.  

Tell me something good about your weekend or the upcoming week!!!!
