My husband gave me this dress for Christmas. Before you say that he has good taste, I must confess that I picked it out. It’s better than getting something you don’t like, right?

It’s a rainy day here in Blacksburg, VA. When the weather is gross, I like to layer and wear super comfy clothes. But, I also still want to look cute, you know? I call this my “Little Red Riding Hood” outfit even though the hood isn’t red–the shoes are!

I drooled over this gray dress for months before purchasing it. {Erin Giles can attest to this. She wore it to RHH Live and I told her that I was envious over and over.} When it went on sale, I didn’t hesitate a second longer. And, I just picked up these patent faux-leather black flats from Target for $10.
I have a sweet tooth for tulle and lace, so I paired this gray dress with a top with a lace back. I feel kinda childish in this outfit, but I think that makes it even more fun.
I made the elephant necklace I’m wearing. Watch out for the DIY–it’s coming up soon!

This is my “day before Christmas Eve” outfit. I wanted to be comfortable and cute while finishing up handmade gifts. My husband said that my headband borders on ridiculous, but I like it and that’s all that matters, right?

I found these shorts tucked into the Anthropologie sale section and knew they were a find. Every time I wear them, I get compliments. It took me a little while to determine how to style them and what tops looked good paired with them, but they’re now a favorite in my closet. I made the necklace. It’s a good neutral that works well with sweaters, because it’s chunky.

This is the beginning of a new blog column on Blacksburg Belle, Fashionology. Let’s chat about how much I love fashion….thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much. That’s a lot–I know.
Every once in while, I’ll share one of my favorite outfits with you. I recently purchased this purple dress from Modcloth. I love shopping online at Modcloth, because I’m obsessed with clothes that have a vintage style AND they hardly ever sell anything with real leather. The boots I’m wearing in this picture are completely designed with man-made materials. Holla for animal-friendly boots that fit perfectly!
If you’ve ever flipped through an Anthropologie catalog, you know that most of the time the models look super serious. So, whenever I strike a “looking into the distance” pose, I call it my “Anthropologie look.” During the photo shoot with Mayi in Panama, I would say, “let’s do our Anthropologie look” and we would immediately crack up and then look off into the distance with our lips sorta pursed.
