Frozen

Notice something different about this photo? It's pre-snow! Oh how I miss seeing the grass and wearing heels without fearing my falling to death.... But even though there was no snow this day I distinctly remember the freezing cold wind. We kind of rushed through taking these to go warm up again. Now I'm kind of thinking maybe it wasn't so bad. I've woken up to 0 degree weather - literally! the last few days. Not acceptable.
I borrowed this pretty polka dot dress from Ashley (Southern California Belle) through Flock Together. It has the perfect details and fit. And the length was just right for work. I wore heels with it from 9-5 but then opted for my favorite boots afterwards!
 Some of you noticed my pretty updated blog design. This was one of my blogging goals for the new year so when the amazing Jessica of Midwest Muse offered her talents I jumped right on it! She was so awesome and really nailed what I wanted with little direction from me. I love the new, cleaner look. I think it's just what the blog needed!
 Outfit Details:
Dress - borrowed from Ashley
Blazer - Pac Sun
Tights - Target
Boots - H&M
Bag - Tai Pan Trading

Your eyes looks especially pretty int hat second photo! And like a lot of the others said, your blazer (with patche!) is really great.

The blog design is fresh too! So glad you got what you wanted.

I love that you wear red lipstick. I have some but rarely wear it because I feel that everyone will be staring at me. It looks perfect on you! And nice page upgrade!

The polka dot dress is so cute and I love how you wore it with the velvet boots (LOVE THEM!) and 0 degree weather?? That is so cold, i can't believe I was complaining about 60 degree weather. I don't think I have ever been in 0 degree weather actually :O

i was totally thinking 0 deg celcious and thinking oh, crazy, that's the same as here but no.. we are 0 deg C which is only 32 and down to 28 F which is freezing for over here. I really cannot believe you're in short sleeves in that post above, that is like my spring attire haha. you look lovely in both of these though, I love the layers & casual touch you added to ashley's pretty dress w/ those fun boots.
