ORANGE BOMB

I love reading fashion blogs, and I follow a good amount of them on a daily basis. One of my favorites has to Little Girl Big Closet because Tara puts together some of the most whimsical and elegant, yet fun and funky outfits, and her photos are always gooorgeous! This outfit was loosely inspired by this look of Tara's, which made me think, "Well, of course I should pair my favorite striped top with a navy blazer (or in my case, a navy cardigan) and a fun skirt!" So, thanks Tara, for inspiring me with yet another way to wear these items:

striped tee, j.crew

ruffle cardigan, j.crew

field scout skirt, anthropologie

spotted tights, anthropologie

'linderr' boots, steve madden [x] [x] [x]

u-necklace, f21

ring, f21

These boots are amazing. I ordered them through Endless.com when they were having their "40% off all Steve Madden" special just a few days ago, so they were a steal! HECK YES. I love how they fit tight, but not too tight, and am completely smitten over the double-zipper side. A word of warning, though, the zippers jingle. A lot. When I wear these, it sounds like I have spurs on, which is a sound all Texans should be familiar with. I don't mind, but I know some others might. Amazingly, they also fit over my kind-of-bulky calves, which is a plus. For those who are interested, I would say these run TTS, since I got them in my regular size 7.

I know a few commenters asked about my nail polish, but forgetful me forgot to take pictures of my nails or look at the names of what I used. Sigh. I'll post about them tomorrow, along with information on my wreaths. STAY TUNED!
