Jacket Weather 

This summer's been pretty disappointing. Here in the Baltimore area, it's been the wettest on record.
 Sure there was a brief heat wave... but that's not hot enough for this bronze beauty. I want to feel like I'm BAKING in the sunshine!

Anyway all the rain has brought temperatures down low enough to want to cover your arms, but not cold enough to put on a coat.

Translation: jacket weather

Here are a few looks for Fall.

Pink Polish OOTD

New Year, new plans. I am looking to expand this blog this year.

That's why I woke up early this morning to go to the Beauties in Business Brunch. Well... not too early. I have images and links to the whole thing my on my Insta-story. I actually woke up late, and missed the top half of the meeting.  But I still learned a lot about forming a brand. 

Right now I'm thinking a lot about my brand and the message that I'm sending through this blog.

My outfit perfectly matches my message because it's beautiful and brings me joy.

  Fashion for Pattern Lovers



                          I am a sucker for patterns. Plaid, dots, floral-- I love it all.

Last year I was walking through a flea market, and I caught a glimpse of a dress with a boom box pattern. It was really nice, but the dress had a $50 price tag and that wasn't in my budget for the day.

That's was the first time I had a heard of Lularoe. LOL!

Now not only do I wear Lularoe, I've found ways to get the clothes at discounted prices.

Spring Thrift Haul

It's finally starting feel like Spring here on the East Coast so I decided to reveal my latest thrift haul to celebrate.

Spring can be an awkward time clothing wise. It's sunny and warm so you definitely have shed all of those cozy winter time layers but it's chilly so you may not want to jump into those short sleeve shirts just yet. That's why ...
