Honestly, I'm a little scared of leopard print. A belt, shoes, scarf, maaaaybe a blouse... but that's about it. So, my stomach did a little flip when I saw that the fashion trend this week with Living in Color Style and Stylin in St. Louis was leopard print! But, I do love these shoes... they are comfortable and always add just enough sas to an outfit. I thought I'd bravely add an extra dose of sas with the belt. Life on the edge, right? One thing that I'm most definitely NOT afraid of is lace. I thought I would wear something I'm very comfortable in so the animal print accents would feel more natural. I'm happy to say that I would gladly wear this outfit around town, and that is exactly what I plan on doing soon! And let's just talk about this delicious fall weather we are having in Greenville this week. Loving it so much!!

Two of my Favorite Things.

If there’s anything I love more than a mint green blouse, it would be a lace blouse! So when the two are combined I’m a happy chick. I saw this shirt in a department store at the beginning of the year and I had to have it. It is exciting when you find pretty things on sale in the Junior Department. (I know I’m not the only one that still shops in the tween section…?) I love the way this shirt can be worn all year long, a cold night with a jacket, or even a warm day since it is so light and breezy. And how convenient that the pastel trend embraces this little purchase so many months ago. I love it when that happens!
