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.

WHAT:
Dress:  FemmeRationale
Leggings: Target
Jacket: Thrifted
Scarf: Banana Republic
Boots: Uggs

WHERE:
I am chairing a major fundraiser at the school, most of the day was spent there but I did get to go on a sushi date with hubby last night!

  11. Just found your blog and just wanted to say that I LOVE that you're a SAHM style blogger...I have a 5 month old and am often tempted to just live in my pajamas, so I've been making an effort to get dressed and be stylish (if not trendy) everyday, so you're a big motivator! Thanks!
