Jean Genie

I think every woman needs a denim skirt in their closet. 
From Polyvore

It's as versatile as a good pair of jeans.

You can dress it up (saw this on Pinterest.)

Or dress it down-thanks google images!

I love my denim skirt. Its dark, maxi and has great pockets. As the mom of a tween, that's important.
I wore it to the circus with the Little Man.


It was a fun night out for the two of us.

Plus I got to rock my polka dot shoes

Tangerine Dream

It's a cold, dreary day today and I thought it could use a bit of sunshine. I decided to wear my tangerine eShakti dress. I am not a big fan of ordering clothes on line, but I've never gone wrong with their website. Items can be customized to fit you-so it's like getting a one off outfit at a department store price.
I love retro styled clothes (sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era) and this dress is just perfect. I changed it from sleeveless to a cap sleeve, and switched the neckline to a sweetheart. The color works well with my coloring and I get to wear a great statement necklace too (bonus)!
Ordering is super easy, which makes my shopping easier. I use my iPad mostly, and their site was compatible and super easy to navigate. This was the original dress (http://www.eshakti.com/Product/CL0027385/Retro-style-textured-jersey-dress). It's so easy to customize the size and style all on one page, which makes this mommy happy. Despite the customization, I had my dress within a week of ordering. Unfortunately, the weather on the high plains wasn't cooperating. I had originally planned on wearing it for Easter, but it was 35 degrees that day. We had snow flurries during the egg hunt! I had to put back in the closet for warmer weather-which is today.
Right now, new customers can get a $25 gift certificate when they sign up-it's a great deal-plus there's a major Memorial Day sale going on at http://www.eshakti.com/default.aspx.

Ruffles and Flourishes

One of my favorite stores is Anthropologie. Unfortunately, we don't have one in South Dakota, so I am forced to drool over their luscious website (http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/index.jsp). Such torture.

I did get a chance to visit their store when we visited New Jersey. I fell in love with a few things including a pitcher, a skirt & a statement necklace. Someday...

One of their trademark pieces is the ruffled blouse. I love them, but not the price tag. It's a big ouch. There are tutorials out there to make them, but right now sewing isn't happening around my house.

I found a lovely green knock off shirt. I paired it with awesome black trousers. I wore it to go to a hospice conference, where I learned lots and lots.

I felt like I stepped off the website into real life.

Ruffle and flourish love.

Aural Psynapse

It's been an odd fall on the northern plains. Mother Nature has been suffering from pendulum mood swings in temperature. As a result, it's hard to decide what to wear. Today's outfit is no different. It's really cold in the morning, warming later in the day. Therefore, one must dress in layers. I chose a floral print chiffon skirt, paired with a long sleeve tee from Target and a sweater from Loft and my favorite Steve Madden boots. It's flowy and feminine.

Passion for Fashion: Red all about It

One of my favorite color combinations is black and red. There's something simple yet powerful about it.
