How fun is this outfit? (Bonus points for being super-easy to replicate.)
On another note, how many of you will be going to the SATC 2 midnight movie release? Don’t lie now. ;)
Do I even need to explain why I love this look? It’s perfect.
(If she’s wearing faux fur, it’s perfect. If it’s real fur, then, not so much—but my version is faux.)

A cape is a great layer to have as the weather starts to warm up. Not quite a coat, but more like a substantial sweater—but with a lot more style than a hoodie!
Capes are getting hard to track down, so if you have you heart set on one, purchase it soon before the stores are filled with bathing suits and sundresses until next fall.

Mixing patterns is a hard trend for me to adopt. Every inch of my being resists mixing florals and plaids, polka dots and stripes, etc. I’m not much a print wearer anyway, but then adding multiple prints into the mix is too much for my monochromatic tendencies to handle. Implosion!
But, I really like this. There’s something great about the bright colors and her huge smile and it’s just a happy outfit.
I couldn’t find an adequate yellow floral jacket that I thought fit the look, so I substituted with a floral jacket in a color palette that’s a little easier for me to handle.
After a pretty trying week, it was so wonderful to see Brandon last night and catch dinner with my sister and her boyfriend. We also ate brunch together before dropping my sister and boyfriend off at the airport for spring break. (Not gonna lie, almost hopped a flight myself!)
On the weekend, I wear what’s comfortable and with the beautiful weather today (sunny! 55 degrees!), I wanted to wear something warm so I could leave the winter coat at home.
I dragged these boots out of the closet—they haven’t been worn for some time, but they are comfortable and black and flat and therefore get a pass. Also bought them for $15, and of course, $15 boots definitely get a pass.
Now to relax, get a few things done, sip some coffee and maybe take a nap.
H&M gray skinny pants with ankle zip and equestrian-style knee patches; CutesyGirl.com boots; H&M long-sleeved tee (mens section-I stole this from Brandon’s closet); Target reversible vest; black leather handbag from Marshall’s (have no idea what brand it is—I just recently found this at the very bottom of my handbag box)
Well, I didn’t really wake up late this morning, but I had no idea what to wear and remembered this post I did and settled for my own advice.
I didn’t wear heels (too cold!), so substituted boots, added a black cardigan, khaki trench and a scarf.
But, here’s the dress and boots:
The top of the dress has a keyhole with a sort of 60’s collar going on (a bit like this). I love, love, love this dress. Fits me really well and is great for dinner and such, but also works if I have meetings at work. I bought it at Marshalls (a store I should stay away from!) for $20.
So, there it is! (Minus the coat and cardigan, of course.) Get your own “oh, crap” outfit! It’ll save many a stressful morning, I promise.
