Blue and Tan

bludrs1
It was a soggy, rainy day yesterday, but I must really love that sort of thing because I'm smiling ear to ear in nearly all of the photos! Yesterday was a TV day, and I couldn't decide between watching the final season of Tudors or beginning Boardwalk Empire. I went with starting Boardwalk Empire, but not before snapping a few photos of the day's outfit. I love this vintage 1970's dress for it's full skirt and textured fabric, not to mention it's easy wear. As a matter of fact, I think the entire outfit ended up taking on a sweet 1970's vibe. Now that I think about it, there is a magenta version of this dress in the shop right now, that matches the pink hue on the belt precisely. I could only find one photo that shows the full side of the belt, but I went with it because in addition to loving bursts of color, the orange in the belt really compliments the tan of the boot nicely.

Window Shopping from Home

Always on the lookout for inspiring looks and new pieces, I toyed around with Boutiques.com to see what looks it would recommend me. While the results were garish and completely, 100% not me, I did scour some of my favorite bloggers' results and found some dream items that are mostly out of my budget, but worth fawning over. I think I'll erase my results and try again, then hopefully I'll have something good (and tailored to me!) to show you! Pardon, in advance if any of the links are broken.

Constellation Lepus

This collar just went up in the shop, but I had to photograph it against this day dress. If you can't tell, the print is of rabbits and clovers, though I think it looks more like rabbit constellations.
