Oh Monday you are here again, and so quickly! I had 101 things on my to do list this weekend, so it seemed to fly by! I got tons done, but I feel like my weekend lasted a nanosecond and here we are at Monday again. Mondays may have a bad rep, but they are a great day to pull out a fun I will conquer this week outfit! This houndstooth skirt and bow tie blouse combo is going to do just that! I love the houndstooth print on this skirt. It is a print that I have not found too often on skirts. It is also a timeless print and a great thick material so I can wear it for years to come. The color I am wearing is sold out, but I linked the blue/green one in the details section above which is just as gorgeous! I don’t know why, but bow top blouses always make me feel so ready to tackle the day. Kind of like don’t get in my way today, I mean business. I know it may sound silly, but when you have a piece like that you cannot help but want to wear it all the time. I have also styled this top in a previous post with pants and it still had that conquer the day vibe. Alright Monday, let’s do this!!

I have said it before and I will say it again, I am not a fan of winter. My winter clothes probably make up like 10% of my closet. Most of the times during winter, I just toss a cardigan on over my fall and spring dresses to winterize them up a bit. The only downside is this usually covers up some really beautiful tops and dresses! As soon I saw this Dobbin Clothing dress, I was in love! I love that there is movement from the blouson sleeve, but the dress is still fitted in the body. I also love the cut of the v-neck on this dress. I think it comes to the perfect point on the chest. Don’t even get me started on the plum color, it’s definitely up there on my favorite colors to wear list. The cold January temperature we have been having was keeping this dress hanging in my closet just staring at me. I will normally pair my long sleeve button down shirts underneath sleeveless sheath dresses, and so I decided to take a fashion chance and try it under my Dobbin Sylvie dress. Can I just say I definitely had an I’m a genius moment!! I love love love the way this dress looks alone with a pair of pumps, but I was amazed how fabulous it looked with a button down underneath. This is definitely where the great cut of the v-neck comes in handy to allow the button down shirt to rest so perfectly on the top of the dress. Feeling inspired, I decided to toss on my favorite pair of brown boots, and viola – a winter look from a fall/spring dress! I’m so excited to discover a new way to wear some of my favorite dresses ,but I am most excited to finally get to take this dress out for a spin!!

Hello Holiday Monday! Am I the only one still playing catch up from the holidays?? I’m so excited to have an extra day this weekend. I think it has rained the last three weekends straight, which means I did not get much done. Not only do I have an extra day this weekend, but the sun is out! Perfect weather to be productive and tackle my ever growing to-do list. Even though, I am not heading in to the office today. I still wanted to share some office outfit inspiration. I love love love this skirt! When it first came in the mail, I was worried it was to long for my petite height, but once I put it on I really liked the length. For starters, the length is perfect for boots. I love how it covers the top portion of the boot. I can get away with wearing my navy fleece lined leggings and no one will know they don’t match. The material is also thick which was perfect for the cold days we had last week. Isn’t the scalloped lace beautiful on this skirt? It was what originally drew me to this skirt. Because of the length and fullness of the skirt, I kept my top fitted and simple. A full top and bottom would be too overwhelming with my petite height. I love the way the dark violet compliments the gray of the skirt. The violet and gray colors standout from each other while still working together. Now off to tackle that to do list!!!

I love a good cowl neck sweater. You can mix it up and wear it several ways. On colder days, you can tighten up the cowl neck portion to create a more turtleneck look, or open it up and show off a beautiful necklace. Lately, I have been gravitating toward feminine detailing. The scalloped edges and cutout design on this skirt are so beautiful. These two pieces go together perfectly! Plus, camel and black are one of the hottest color combinations right now! It is gorgeous and fun pieces like these that make me think maybe winter isn’t so bad after all!
