It’s often thought that once summer is over, all those dresses you wore will no longer see the light of day until next spring. But I’ve always thought that there’s no need to put away something you enjoy wearing (assuming you like to wear dresses of course) just because it’s not in season. There are…
Dotty: Sheer Polka Dot Top, Shorts and Over-the-Knee Boots
I’ve been seeing polka dots a lot lately and it made me nostalgic enough to pull out my own. I’ve always liked polka dots. Something about the print felt a bit retro and cute, but in an elegant way. This top has always been one I love to wear. In fact I…
Shady Places: Black Velvet Dress with Floral Embroidery, Faux Leather Jacket and Grey Boots
A nice warm long sleeved velvet dress under a faux leather jacket is about as light as I can bear in the current weather (and this was a warmer day too). The pretty floral embroidery across the top is another bonus and gives the dress enough detail to hold my interest without jewelry. …

Red for Fall: Red Sweater Tunic, Ombre Leggings, Polka Dot Top and Layered Necklaces
On this particular day, I didn’t make it in time to catch the last rays of the quickly shortening day to take pictures outside. Fortunately, I needed to do some shopping and malls are conveniently well lit (although I prefer natural light). I’ll have to figure something out for the winter months when it’s still…
