Accents of Purple

The genius behind the camera and my good friend Ashley! She's gorgeous :-)

Hey my friends! Happy Friday!

Bringing a super casual look today, with some purple accents that have a bit of a back story.

Stone Cuff: I bought this a while back on The Marketplace powered by TOMS shoes. This is a place where smaller similar brands can list their merchandise. The brand I bought this from uses their profits to help women in third world countries find work. I highly recommend checking the site out! 

Purple Hat: So every year, my church hosts an Artists' Market the Sunday after Thanksgiving. It's so cool to see how creative everyone is. It felt good to shop around knowing that I was investing in local art. This hat was such a cute find!

Do you have any items of clothing that have a story to tell? Let me know!

One Dress Two Ways: London Edition

Hey my friends!

I hope this Wednesday finds you well. So I was all excited to put together European outfits and take advantage of the glorious 60 degree weather. Fall weather people!! Atlanta still hasn't gotten itself together and fall-ified yet. I thoroughly enjoyed myself the whole time. So much so that I forgot to take pictures while I was there. Sorry my loves, complete brain fart. So here are two of my favorite outfits I wore on a day I need to be casual and then more formal. It's one dress. Such a comfy one too! During the day, I paired it with a tribal patterned cardigan, lace tights, and some short black booties. Perfect for walking around town, snapping photos, shopping, etc. 

Later that night we went to see Wicked (It was amazing) and I wanted to look a bit more formal. I swapped my cardigan for a sparkly black sweater and my short black booties to short black heeled booties. Swiped some red lipstick and I was good to go! 

I love how versatile the dress turned out to be. It saved me some room in my suitcase as well as made me feel almost like a professional stylista. A girl can dream. 

I wish I could go on and on about my trip to London. It was so much fun and there were so many fun things we did. One fun tidbit from our trip. I discovered the Harrods Shoe Heaven. Life Changed.

Ink and Elm and Snow Leopard Spots

Hey my friends!

I hope you had a glorious weekend with those you love. I have a confession to make. I meant to make it all the way until September without spending any money on clothes. But what had happened was....it was the hubs' birthday and I didn't have anything to wear. You can see my dilemma. So I bought this skirt and Rocked it for a night out with my man. We went to the cutest restaurant named Ink and Elm. Such fun! Such food! We had a great time trying new things and enjoying one another's company. I would definitely recommend if you are in the Atlanta/Emory Village area (Just make sure you are prepared to eat at McDonald's for awhile after. It can get a bit pricey).

The skirt was yet another find from Marshalls. I was sifting through the rack and fell in love as soon as I laid eyes on it. I mean, who wouldn't? Look at that pattern! So again, you understand why I needed it. I thought you would. You guys are the best.

Chambray and Coral

Hey my friends!

I was feeling overwhelmed at work today so I decided what better way to lighten my mood than take pictures? So the hubs and I (we work for the same company) took a walk around our office during lunch and stopped along the way to snap some photos. It was a great way to refresh before burying myself in audits once again.     

My outfit today is one of my favorites. Please excuse the wrinkles in my shirt and ID Badge. Those are not part of the look. I love how switching the normal (denim look on bottom, color for the top) can make an outfit interesting. The sunnies are my hubs'. They are so bright and fun! I steal borrow then so often I should probably get my own pair. But what is love for, if not to share?  I finished the look with some well loved leopard flats. What do you think? I love hearing from you. Seriously. Thanks for reading!
