Still time for tights

It was 80 degrees today and this morning for a good 45 minutes I had plans of not wearing tights. But the Colorado girl in me just couldn't do it, late February is too early for bare legs, even with tall boots and socks. So on went the tights and I suddenly felt much better.



Being 80 degrees, today was one of those magical Austin days when I totally love living here. I went to a trailer park for lunch with one of my favorite friends and had delicious Greek hamburgers, then we got super caffeinated on lovely free trade iced coffee from a shop crawling with hipsters. Then I went back and worked and giggled with my coworkers before coming home and making party snacks with the hubs. We're hosting a (Mr. made) beer tasting tomorrow night and I'm in charge of appetizers!

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.
