Really?  Does it get any more American than that?  I guess apple pie, but whatevs...

My pictures were a little lamesville today, so I decided to spice them up a bit.  I love how bold everything looks now!

I was lucky enough to receive this lovely little dress from Talbots, and I can tell you right now ... hold on tight, 'cuz you're going to be seeing a lot of this baby in the coming months.  I already have about 5 or 6 outfits in mind for it.  Bring on the sunshine!

    You are killing it this week.

    First i was swooning over that long jersey skirt that your boy said was a 'whole lotta look' and now this.

    I have a cherry tattoo and sadly, THREE cherry dresses, cherry shoes, shirts... i don't know how this happened. But i love your jacket. And I would never think of throwing it over stripes.

    Wow Kyla. Love how you put things together. You're right, limited selections and budgets shouldn't effect your personal style. And clearly they don't!
