need a Little Leopard in my Life

Sooooo these past few days, I've been doing some serious lovin' on the bag I bought Monday!  :)  Basically, I've been making outfits around this bag. 

Anybody else do that?  Style themselves "backwards" by picking an accessory first?

I wanted to ask y'all another question:

Does it bother you that most of my photos are now taken in the same exact corner of my bedroom? 

I try to keep things interesting enough by posing all quirky and editing the photos a bit differently...but I can only do so much.

Also: I'm sure that, by now, most of you are aware of the conundrum facing those of us bloggers who operate chiefly on Google...Google reader (GFC) will be ripped out from under us starting July 1st.  :(  It'll be a bloggernational day of mourning, especially for yours truly, but everyone else is doing a lot of complaining, so I won't burden you with any more of that. 
I figure, if my blog is meant to grow, it'll happen (whether it's via GFC or Bloglovin' or whatever), so I'm just gonna keep posting a button like this in all my posts, so you can keep on being my blogfriend by following with Bloglovin' instead of GFC!  :)

Thanks again for reading!

 

and Don't Forget to  Please!!!

Da ba dee, da ba die...

I'm blue (da ba dee, da ba die)...

Now there's color I don't actually wear much.  But when I do, I guess I do it like I do everything: according to the adage "go big, or go home." 

Behold: an ALL BLUE outfit!

Of course, since I was wearing all blue, I had to throw the red bag in.  Love this bag.

I love textures, and lace is one of my favorites. Chambray is also ridiculously huge in fashion right now, which is great, because it's so easy to work with!

Simple outfit formula, here: [chambray] shirt + [lace] pencil skirt
Add bookend-ing statement necklace and shoes, and you've got an easy outfit that speaks volumes!

This outfit was work on a ridiculously warm day this January, so I actually could rock bare legs! +sigh+ (Of course, now it's back down to normal January temperatures. You know: 2 degrees with a 15-below windchill.)

Goodnight  ;)
