SUNBURST

11-2-09 1

It's 4:30 and the sun is falling rapidly.  Oh, daylight savings, how I have such mixed feelings for you.  On one hand, I thoroughly enjoyed my extra hour of sleep this weekend.  On the other hand, our evening hours of light are going to be pretty much non-existent for the next several months.

At least it still looks pretty.  And they cleaned up all the leaves today.  They look so pretty blanketing the ground, but not so pretty tracked into the house.  Especially because Iggy insists on eating them when they're tracked inside.

I'm definitely glad I got this sweater.  It's slouchy enough to layer, but the belt gives it just enough shape to still highlight my waist.  Otherwise, I tend to look like a blob.

You've seen everything else before.  The skirt is the adored Fred Flare dress with the heart cutout in the back.  It pains me to cover up that pretty little heart, but I love the look of the skirt, too.

  2. Love the boots & comfy sweater =) so chic, but still warm and snuggly looking!

    That pic of Iggy is the BEST!!

    I love the Payless boots (that's where they're from, right?). I want the blue pumps you have from there SO badly! The ones that tie over your foot, to die for =)

  3. Oh seeing you layer these autumn pieces onto what could be a summer dress is making me excited for our cooler months.. Okay, so where I live there is only really a cool month. & it's mostly only cold at night. But a girl can dream! :)

    LOVE this one as well.
    You continue to inspire me.
    I bought a blazer when I tripped it down to the city for the pure fact you & Elaine wear them so well.

  4. That last picture is priceless. It actually made me laugh out loud. And I'm loving this whole look - especially the heavy knit - flouncy floral combination!

  11. i saw this post the other day (yes, i'm a lurker!) and totally copied it today!

    i found a similar sweater in black @ f21, layered it over a floral print dress, and since i only have the standard black/tan/grey flat boots and (not bright red ones!), i threw on my green tights for color!!

    thanks for the inspiration!!
