Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think...Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881).

With Fall having been here for a bit and winter knocking on the door I am having a  hard time with my wardrobe. I enter my closet wanting to create something that I LOVE and will make me feel confident and sassy,  and lately I just can't seem to connect the two.....I blame this on all of you of course! I think  my style has evolved and changed (for the better) over the course of this blog which was mainly summer. My usual winter staples of jeans and a sweater are just not cutting it anymore,  YEAH!!!! The downside is that I can't just go out and buy a new wardrobe...sad face. Officially declaring this the great closet cleanout of 2009, consign as much as possible, become more creative with the pieces that I do LOVE and see where it gets me.

I did LOVE this little number I threw on this morning. I wore this dress in early fall and decided to try a winter take on it. Mixed it up with the brown and black and brought it down to a casual level with the denim. I couldn't decide on what to do with the scarf and just kept tying knots, ended up really liking the necklace vibe.
