ask me a question

about me

Hello there, you lucky person! Welcome to my brain. You've stumbled upon my collection of thoughts on fashion, beauty, marriage, fashion and life. Pour some (sweet) tea (vodka) and kick up your feet. I hope you enjoy poking around the site.

Who am I you ask? I'm a southern woman trying to navigate her way through life. I am married with one dog and when I have a free moment it's spent with fashion(!), family, friends, or fried food.

I'm a happy wife with a mostly sunny and slightly sarcastic outlook on life.

The Way I Wore: Ruffles and Lace and Legs, oh my!

With this outfit, I wanted to step out of my comfort zone a little bit. Typically, with a short dress like this I would have a pair of super duper opaque tights on, but since I paired it with a lacey cardigan, I thought I’d spice it up a bit and echo the lacey goodness on my gams. And I think I like it. Insider tip: I actually have on a pair of sheer black Spanx under my lace tights to help keep my junk in check. Crucial.

The Way I Wore:

Purple ruffle dress: Free People

Mustard yellow cardigan: Rodarte for Target

Necklace: House of Harlow

Shoes: Sam Edelman

Lace tights (worn over Spanx): Express

What do you think? Lace overload or just right?

  1. tiffandty answered: i like the multiple lace look. i think it works because you balance it out with rocker accessories (studded shoes, black leather necklace)
