Many of you ladies had asked me what I wore in our family photo HERE with Old St. Nick and here it is. I kept everything nice and simple. This dress that I am wearing is from H&M and is actually the same cut as the mod dress that I wore HERE. Because it is black with a white collar contrast it looks more subtle than the houndstooth print.
It wasn't until recently that I love turquoise jewelry because I thought it was just too bright, but now it is my go-to choice to spice up any outfit, especially black and white. The great thing about it is that it can work with so many different outfits - it can be delicate and girly with long layered necklaces, or mixed with rhinestones to edge up an ensemble. Turquoise jewelry offers a tropical flavor that will add a fresh dimension to your wardrobe.
I want to dedicate this post to cocobloggers who has extended the Liebster Award to me. The origin of this award is obscure, but it's probably German and translates into "most favorite blog". This award is given to blogs that have less than 200 followers as a means of getting connected to other bloggers and their followers. This is the second time that I have received this award and although I now have more than 200 followers, I was still ecstatic to receive this. I am so amazed with the friendship that I've made and truly feel bless to be a part of this community. So, thank you cocobloggers for extending this award to me and to all of you ladies who take the time to visit my blog on a daily basis and leave such sweet and inspiring comments.
In addition Kat from katattack2000 also did an interview on me recently, please check it out HERE. Thank you Kat for asking me to take part in your Interview series, I thoroughly enjoyed answering all the questions!

ReplyDeleteWHat? You spent $300 in an hour at Gap? I assume this is for you, the kids, and the mister as well? I really didn't see anything I needed to have. It could also be that my closets are bursting at the seams and I really REALLY need to clear out my closets!
ReplyDeleteBoth outfits are beautiful. I love your purse and boots as well.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your blog and thank you so much for reading mine as well.
Many blessings in 2012.
I am loving your dress! I used to feel the same way about bright jewelry...but they do add quite the statement to black.
