So even though it’s STILL been snowing in NY, I’m so ready to bring out my Spring wardrobe so this will probably be my last cold weather outfit! 
I saw this dress in Anthropologie back when it was full price and loved it. But it isn’t the most flattering fit (on me) and even when it went on sale, I still said no to it. But a few weeks I was in Anthropologie and noticed there was one in my size sitting in the return pile by the cash register….and I got it for $30! So I figured for that price, I can justify buying a dress that may not have the most flattering fit but is so fun. Because I am pretty short, I had the straps of the dress pulled up so now it fits a bit better. Would you do what I did or do you only settle for perfect?

I was getting ready to go outside to take pictures of the dress when I looked down and realized I was head to toe in black and white! Me? No pop of color? I had to fix that so I took out my trusty neon patent leather pink oversized wallet and instantly felt better;) One of these days I’m going to try a neutral or black and white look…one day!

Another gel mani, didn’t love how these came out, the picture I showed the woman doing my nails was way better.

Baby, It’s Cold Outside! (Cobalt Coat)

/ Uncategorized / 11 Comments

Andddd just when I was so excited for the beautiful weather, we have a day like today. OMG SO COLD! But I do have an awesome coat for the weather:) Maybe not the warmest, but definitely the nicest! He he he.

I’ve been loving J.Crew coats lately and was excited to score this cobalt beauty in petite from Ebay. It’s so exciting when I don’t have to shorten the sleeves. 🙂 Hoping to put it away soon although it’s becoming really cold again so we’ll see! Either way, I’m doing a Spring photo shoot on Sunday with Chani Deutch so Spring looks coming soon!:)
