This dress is definitely one of my favorite pieces. I've worn it a number of times, but was kind of stuck on how to style it a different way until Lauren of Fizz and Frosting wore her leopard dress like this. I feel like the bright scarf was the perfect touch to her look, so I decided to give it a try myself. I really love how it came together. I don't think I have considered scarves with dresses much, but after this outfit I definitely think I need to consider it more. Finding out my closet is even more mixable definitely brightens my day! I think sometimes I take for granted the little things like this, so I thought today I'd share some of the simple loves in my life:
1. Clean. Sheets. Seriously, sleeping on clean sheets is the best! If I had the time I probably put on fresh daily instead of weekly.
2. Bubble baths with a book. I don't think I need to elaborate on the awesomeness that this is.
3. Pedicures- I used to go monthly before Grant was born and now I'm lucky to go twice a year. Over Christmas break Grant went to daycare a few times and on one of the days I went and pampered myself with a pedi and my feet have never been happier, seriously, that girl was amazing.
4. Compliments from fellow fashionistas; it always makes my day to have stylish ladies give me a compliment. Have you guys read The Five Love Languages? If not, you really should, mine is words of affirmation, AKA compliments. My husband is good at a lot of things, but compliments isn't high on his list, so you ladies really help me out it that department. : )
5. Gift cards for Christmas, I'm excited to shop Loft's new spring clothes and am loving this skirt.
6. The Grantster. He's a pretty sweet kid....I might just be slightly biased.
What about you? What makes your day? I'd love to hear about it.

Linking up with Lauren for Mix it Mondays. Here are two other ways I've worn this leopard dress:
The addition of the tights and cozy scarf transition the dress wonderfully for winter! I have some gift cards too to go shopping with...nothing is better than free clothes :)

Nice outfit! I'm actually wearing something super similar today. Well, I had to take the scarf off because my classroom is extra warm today and I was overheating haha. And I'm currently reading The 5 Love Languages! I'd have to say my love language is quality time.
ReplyDeleteYou look so elegant and chic! I love the color combination! <3
