Insert Movie Montage Here

So I love fall, all things cold and brisk.  I have shared this many times and I will continue to share, trying to convince and just share the love of fall and winter.  It may be the build up to Christmas... yes, I REALLY love Christmas.  I don't love the commercialism, no the sometimes whining kids, no the extra bills that come around.  But swell of memories that swirl through my brain with each scent.  Pulling the pumpkin pie out of the oven much like my mother used to do for my every birthday, (not a fan of b'day cake) the smell and sounds of crackling bacon before the croissant breakfast that no matter how full you are you still have another, the hands wrapped tightly about a hot chocolate as you have the best cheap date ever: driving around looking at Christmas lights, the shots of flour that seem to slowly cover you as small family members try to "help" with baking... it is the cliche movie moments, including the arguments that WILL happen.  It is my husband and my tradition of spending Christmas Morning snuggled up on the couch watching Love Actually and Christmas night with a few of our close friends who couldn't make it home for the holidays.

Yea, I'm a little excited.

I recently acquired this skirt and sweater.  I had to pair them together.  I really didn't have a choice after getting a taste of my "friends" styled 90's apparel, I was hooked.   So once more I pulled it out again with a little modern sprinkles .  I hope you get some nice flash backs...

Silly's the best everything

Do you every just want to be silly?  I love to be silly.  I can't do it all of the time or no one would take me seriously. . . and being a wedding photographer I have to be at least a little silly.  So today, I am silly!  I decided to break what was given to me as a dress, I modified it and it is now a shirt!

Sweater + comfy skirt = awesome

Today you are blessed with a multitude of things.  You excited?  First, you are blessed with me as we all know is your favorite thing in all the world.  Second, really bad pictures... I was too lazy this week to do anything about them.  Third and most importantly apparently you get a super creepy me if these bad pictures (or my husband) are to be trusted.

Rule breaker, heart taker... don't you mess around?

Sorry about the bad pictures, we were in a rush to go to dinner and apparently my husband had momentary blindness... but you can get the gist of the outfit, well partially anyway.   Rule broken: A traditional sleek outfit with a loud pop of color.


And yes, this is my best Hannibal Lector impersonation... apparently.

Flourish and blotts

Sorry about the pictures, we were on our way out and took a little too quick of a shot.

My lovely and awesome plaid skirt is making a show case again but now paired with my newly thrifted floral button up sweater.   Rocking more than one type of pattern is one of my favorite rules to break!

Fabulously vintage

You know that moment in Touch by an Angel, yes, I am making that reference, when the seeming flashlight spotlights down?  I feel like that happens whenever there is a vintage thrift, add in maybe a little "AhhhA ahhhh!"

So not only do I have a "touched" moment I decided to jazz up my vintage sweater by paring it with a muted plaid skirt... I know how ridiculous to put stripes with plaid but it's ok... depending on the stripes and the plaid.

Get adventurous... it's fun!

The first of the season

First sweater of the season!  I can't believe it.  I woke up and thought, "cold enough to wear a sweater...Sure!"  Got a thing for sweaters (and boots... and scarves and pretty much all things cold).  But apparently I wasn't happy enough with wearing the sweater but needed to break rules too... Belt over a sweater!
  
I know, I am extremely adventuresome aren't I!  You never saw someone delinquent.

Fuzzy, fury and all things wonderful

It is finally getting cool enough that I can wear pants! Yes, I am hot natured   I'm so glad, not that you haven't already picked that up, it's officially fall!  Ready for winter too... the colder the better, why do I live in the south again? ;P  I am so excited.  I have already gone to a corn maze!  It was really cool.  Over two acres of maze!

Keeping things wild

Just another night inviting friends over and hanging out... that seems to calm so I decided "Break" things out... teehee, spent too much time with my husband and his teacher humor.

Break-thrift-ness

Fun and crazy I make my way in the day.  I feel like my wardrobe makes up four different people's styles, but sadly I'm ok with that.  I'll be a split personality when it comes to fashion... and most all things in my life.  Well today I decided to go crazy in breaking rules today: over 10 colors in one outfit!  Out do me and live on the wild side ;P

Tough... or at least I try

Yet another rule broken... or rules.  Pattern on pattern and casual and dressy!  Whose to say that I should not wear pattern on pattern!  I like stripes... not as much as polka dots but still.  I really love this skirt but I don't often have the chance to wear something that dressy so I don't listen to "What not to wear" save for when they say own what you wear... I'll do that.

I'm wild... like a Puma

Breaking zoo crazy!  I picked this shirt up this past week and knew I would want to pair it with my brown skirt... and then decided that I wanted to wear my favorite summer shoes while it was still summer.  I broke the cardinal rule: I wore two animal prints in one out fit!

Bright, hot and enjoying summer's end

Breaking rules:

Wearing a casual shirt that doesn't quite match the color or style of the skirt then you throw in a bold belt and funky do and I am all set for the day!

How'd you do this week?

Bana-na-na-na-na -Naaaa *banjo

So I love fall, winter and pretty much anything that is cold so it allows me my whole other wardrobe filled with amazing things like pants (I refuse to wear them in the summer), boots, sweaters... amazing.  So today I was craving fall so much, and in my mind fall and "ho-downs" (what this really is or why it is called that I don't know) are synonymous and so I broke out my hillbilly-ish-yet-still-cute-ish outfit I could pull together.


Again dressing to where I wish I were I where... only this time it is in time (like Carmen Sandiego)

Thrift-a-licious

Thrift-a-licous!  Makes the girls go what what.
You'll be headed round the block to find what I got

Got this dress! Got these shoes!

Super comfortable which is my favorite part... but I like the frump feel with not so frump look 
That's what happens when you wear a dress with a beat-up old T-shirt
