It’s Wednesday!  Which is also translated as fashion day in the blogging world.  I wrote my very first fashion post, with photos by my 4-yr-old, last week and you all were so kind and encouraging that I pep talked myself into doing it again.  Very convincing you all are and I can’t decide if it’s a good thing or if I’ll kick myself later for doing this. :)  But here we go.  Hold your horses because it was windy and the hair was crazy…

The weather got warm enough on a few days last week to go for a summery look with sandals…in February, I know.  I bought these wedge sandals last fall for $6 from Gap.   I couldn’t wait for the chance to drag those babies out of my closet!

Buying in the off season will provide steals-of-a-deals like that.  You just have to be willing to hold out for the really reduced mark downs and snatch when you see retail throw an extra %30 or %40 off their clearance racks.  This is my secret.  Be informed.

I would never consider my style boho, but after working for Anthopologie for the past 4 months, this tailored girl is going a little more loosey goosey….and loving it.  The dress was picked up {in the off season} for $7 at Anthro and will be my staple in the summer with t-shirts, cardigans, or just by itself.  You could take this dress waay more boho with a scarf tied around your head and maybe a big belt, but I wanted to understate the look and make it my own with a simple, navy tee and a thin, vintage belt.

I added another striped hoodie layer for the nippy evenings here.  I love how mixing patterns turns an otherwise “normal” clothing choice into a unique outfit that sets it apart from traditional.

And because I always like to know sources…here’s mine…

What would you all say is your style these days?  Vintage glam? Preppy?  Traditional?  A little bit of everything in between?  {I’m still figuring mine out, you know.}
