New Year, New Dress

Happy New Year! Now that the craziness of the holidays is over, I'm back to blogging and in fact have made it a goal of mine to be proactive on this blog this year, I get dressed every day so there is no reason I shouldn't have my husband photograph it!

Today was my first day back in the office after the holidays and I felt this called for a new dress. I love so many things about this dress, from its awesomely longhorn friendly color to the pattern, which is actually little feathers, when I saw it, I knew it needed to be my Christmas gift to myself.




I also love that I can pair any number of my belts, cardis, or boots with this dress. It makes it a super versatile piece which is nice, since you wouldn't normally think of burnt orange as "versatile."


It was very cold this morning, but thankfully, I had a lovely coat to wear once outfit photo time was over. Also, the scarf is from another very talented crafter in my family, my awesome sauce Granny Annie.

Nothing like a little wool

It continues to be cold here in the Lone Star State, which is just fine with me! Cold means I can finally wear all the awesome winter things I got on insane super sale this summer. I know it was a little crazy to buy a wool skirt in July, but I did it and 5 months later it was perfect and super cute!




You see that infinity scarf? My Mama made it for me last Christmas. I found it today when I pulled out the wool coat and my goodness was I happy to see it! Not only is it super warm and an awesome color, its like getting a hug from my mom all day long and nothing is better than that.

My joyful face when I got to put my coat on!
