Outfit: Lace Crop and High-Waist Midi Pencil Skirt

TGIF everyone!

Our warm weather days are numbered here in Georgia, so I'm trying to take advantage of it. I am going to spend this weekend doing my dreaded closet transition, so you will start seeing more Fallish outfit posts. 

Oh how I long for the day when this is unnecessary; because my closet is so big, I can fit ALL of my clothes in it at once...one day!

I have been collecting vintage Coach bags over the last few years, not knowing Coach was going to introduce their Classics Collection. The Classics Collection is a limited edition of several vintage and iconic styles from their archives. I have about 5 styles from the collection.   

The hubby had me feeling a little adventurous during this shoot. I let him have a creative control this week.

Thank you so much for reading and have a great weekend!

Yes, I'm wearing leopard again!

This skirt is one of many vintage treasures I've found over the years.  I love how this skirt drapes and flows against the body. The silhouette is very feminine with the high narrow waist, so I decided to pair it with this leopard/floral cami to balance it out adding a little toughness.

According to the weather, we have three more days of 80 degree high weather before a cold front comes in on Sunday. The cold front will only take us to a 70 degree high, so it's time to make a trip to the attic. But until then, I am going to try to squeeze in a few more outfits before I transition my closet.  I am actually looking forward to it; boots and jackets are my favorite things to wear.

I have styled this skirt many ways, but this combination is by far my favorite. I always feel pretty and sexy when I wear this outfit. The silhouette the skirt gives reminds me of Christina Hendricks' character, Joan Harris, on Mad Men.

Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I decided to keep it simple today. I love the simplicity and the crispness of black and white. You can never go wrong wearing black and white.

While trying to take the pictures for this post, it started drizzling.  Can you see the drops of rain on my purse and arm?  I thought we would be able to get all of the shoots I needed, but then the sky fell out. It was raining so hard; by the time I ran to the car, my blouse was drenched. 

I had to change out of that wet blouse, since we were going to grab something to eat after the shoot. I had to think fast, because you know how men get when they are hungry. I knew I wasn't going to be able to change my whole outfit; this was quick and easy. I

I have had these Michael Kors platform sandals for about three years now. They are the highest and the most comfortable sandals I own, and that's including flats. I can walk in these all day with no problem. There is no toe rubbing, no pain on the ball of my feet, the instep is at a perfect angle, and they are the perfect shade of nude for my complexion. I can literally wear these sandals with everything. If you find a pair of sandals this perfect, hang on to them. These babies will be with me until they fall apart.

I just love TJ Maxx, Marshals, and Ross; you can save a ton of money by shopping at any of these chains. These stores often have items that are currently in the department stores for up to 60% less. I scored this top and skirt for less than $40 at TJ Maxx earlier this year. I try to visit my local stores at least once a week, because they get new shipments of merchandise every week.

Happy Monday everyone! This weekend was pretty uneventful. The hubby and I just caught up on our favorite TV shows on DVR: The Boss, Hell On Wheels, Sons of Anarchy, and Boardwalk Empire. If you have never seen any of these shows, then you don't know what you are missing.

I love the weather this time of year, not too hot with a hint of a breeze.  I was able to convince my husband to be my photographer today, after he came home from his Kung Fu class. He did a pretty good job. He did a whole lot of patting himself on the back while we were looking at the pictures on the computer. He was deep in character, standing on the bench and lying on the ground. That man always makes me laugh.

As you can also see, Bella insisted on getting in at least one shot!

I know I will probably get a few questions about this Isabella Oliver Ruched Tank Dress, so I will give you the story behind why I am wearing a maternity dress while not pregnant. Two years ago when I was researching maternity fashion after reading Amy Tara Koch's book, Bump it Up, I stumbled across Isabella Oliver. Their collection was like nothing I had ever seen in maternity fashion. I loved the idea of "displaying" the bump instead of "hiding" the bump. The side ruching accentuates the bump, making the pregnant woman look slimmer and sexy. 

I signed up for their mailing list, just so I could dream of the maternity wardrobe that I would never be able to afford, as they are a little on the pricey side. To my disbelief, I opened an email advertising an end of season sale for up 70% off. I placed an order and received my package 3 days later. When I tried on several of the items, I was elated to discover that I would wear everything I ordered whether I was pregnant or not. This was one of my best clothing investments. I have many other  Isabella Oliver pieces that I will be sharing with you.
