one of my modcloth "cabin fever sale" purchases! first I thought it was a little too similar to this dress, but it's just so pretty...and only $15. 

I had a little trouble figuring out how to style it; I wanted to avoid looking to fancy or being too cold. 

first I wanted to go with purple tights, but then I tried on a purple printed cardigan and thought it was too much of one colour. so I put on my reliable grey tights....then I decided the cardigan was too sporty/70s inspired for a floral dress...so I slipped on this one. then I seriously considered going back to the purple tights, but thought maybe that would be too intense with the matching colours. 

SO we ended up with this. which I really like. I added the belt for that little extra punch of purple that I was looking for, and to calm down all the ruffles in the outfit. and the booties gave it the perfect balance of girly but casual. 

and that's today's outfit!

oh, how cute is this snowflake necklace from much love? I saw it featured in one of Keiko Lynn's giveaways a long time ago, and I couldn't get its cuteness out of my head. so I finally gave in. the shops on hiatus right now, but definitely check it out sometime when it's back.

so it's basically thursday right now, and my week's been going pretty well. I think that's worth mentioning. 

I want winter break to come as quickly as possible. :o)
