Sadlike Sniffling

I really wish I was back online at home so I could blog regularly here with my daily picture. This will happen again!!! (Cue swelling music in the background of "SOOOOMEDAY")

Reading the Bohemian Manifesto right now by Laren Stover, who also authored The Bombshell Manual of Style. I highly recommend both to stimulate the creative juices. Don't be afraid to pair things from your closet that you never considered would go together. On Monday I paired a graphic black and white floral dress whose pattern has touches of red with my zebra peep toe Nine West platforms. I knew I wanted to wear that dress (for me, a dress and heels is the easiest ensemble possible on those What-The-Hell-Am-I-Gonna-Wear days) and the heels were still lying about from the previous week. Although the combination would never have ocurred to me, when I saw the heels, I picked them up and put them against the dress and it worked! This combo garnered much admiration and several spontaneous compliments when I wore it to work. And that always brightens a girl's day.
