A whole lotta neutral...

I love being home. Not only is there an abundance of great places to shop, but the weather has been fabulous. (The seeing family & friends goes without saying.) For a few days it was in the 80s...in December. I was super excited since it was the perfect weather to wear this new tank I'd picked up from Goody's on clearance. It also went perfectly with the new necklace a friend sent me that I'd been wanting to wear. :) I feel like khaki + animal print is always a winning combination. I seriously don't think you can go wrong with it!

I've had this Lilly dress since this summer and have only worn it once. Sad, right? It's been sitting in my closet waiting for some winter inspiration to hit. It finally did! The addition of tights + denim jacket made it much more appropriate for the 40 degree weather we've been having lately. I remember saying in a post a few months back how I just wanted it to be cold... I was wrong. It can be warm again! I pretty much based my whole outfit around these plum tights and am so giddy because I didn't ruin them by tearing them on something. Major accomplishment for my super klutzy self.

Lilly Love on a Budget

I think I may have said this before, but if not...I love Lilly Pulitzer. I just don't have a full price Lilly budget. This adorable pink Lilly top is from thredUP, the London Fog trench via the Salvation Army. Who doesn't love finding quality clothes for a steal? The top was free, thanks to trade in credits & I'm fairly certain the coat was only around $7. The most exciting part was that this whole outfit, sunglasses & bag included, totals out for not quite $100. Now I just need a fabulous brunch to wear this to... :)

Selfie Central

I love this jacket. It's comfy, but just as warm as my favorite hoodie and looks a lot better. It's Banana Republic via a thrift store. :) The jeans I'm crazy about too! What a surprise, they're from Target. I could live at that place. If I ever go missing, my hubby knows where to find me. Anyway, I finally found the cut that works for me-short & curvy. It was a major happy dance moment...and, of course, the animal print flats go with everything.

Date Day Style

The hubby & I stole a few hours alone this last weekend...and it was glorious. Brunch, used book sale, thrift shops...overall, a wonderful date day. The weather here has been a bit wonky as of late, so Saturday it was plenty warm for a dress and sandals. This is a dress I picked up from a thrift stores ages ago and it's one of my favorite finds to date. I hemmed it, then did a zig-zag stitch after it frayed a little. The necklace is a new little treasure, purchased off of Instagram. I felt so awkward taking these photos & would have had more, but a security guard just stopped and watched. He was kind enough to take a photo of the hubby & I together, but I was too embarrassed to take any more solo ones afterwards. Gotta love it.
