Live in Lace

This was one of those outfits that I could live in forever. If I had to pick just one ensemble to wear for the rest of my life, this may just be it (although we all know as obsessed as I am with clothing that could NEVER happen...).  These next few weeks are going to show a serious infusion of clothing that does not belong to me. I got a ton of packages from the gals from Flock Together and have been having so much fun styling up their items! This mustard collared blouse I am wearing underneath my dress is from Elana, who blogs over at Room 334. She has some of the cutest clothes around and her blog is so full of smiles and positive energy! I was super excited to style this piece up. The collar was obviously the focal point of the blouse and so I wanted to layer it under a dress so that it would really pop. 

I found this dress on the Kohl's clearance rack a while ago. It is the most perfect dress I have purchased (I'm excluding my vintage dresses, of course). The top is lace and the skirt is a flowy chiffon fabric. It is has a fully opaque lining and the slip is actually modest! Most dresses I find with a built in slip may have a long overlay, but very short/low cut lining. This one I can actually work with! I also love the tank top which makes it super versatile for layering. I think I found a winner :)

 The sweater and bag are my grandmother's. I've had to do a little fixing on the cardigan as it had a few holes in it, but it is the warmest that I own! The color is so fun also and I love that it is double breasted! Definitely a special detail. 

The earrings are from Avon. I found them in my mother's jewelry box a few years ago and asked if I could have them! The little birdies are so sweet. The hairclip is a special vintage find from long ago. One of my first purchases! I love the quality and color of it. It is one of my favorite treasures.

I changed into flats to run a few errands with the husband. It was such a nice day on Saturday that I could go out without a coat or tights! IN NOVEMBER! South Dakota for the win. 

Thanks to my darling Sean for the photos!

I hope you all have a simply lovely start to your week. I am basking in the wonderful-ness that is November in our school district. The next several weeks are going to be shortened due to compensation days for teachers and then, of course, Thanksgiving coming up! After that I start my new job :) Looking forward to November!

God Bless,
KJA
