Leopard. Sparkle. Birthday.

What does a girl need on her birthday? I can't answer for every girl, but for me it's really quite simple. A little bit of leopard, a dash of sparkle, and a whole lot of laughter! I like to dress up on my birthday so I paired this cute midi dress (on the clearance rack at Target!) with my favorite buffalo plaid flannel and my favorite suede booties. Then I threw on a furry leopard coat and grabbed a sequin clutch and voilà ~ birthday bliss!

As for the laughter? Well, there's always plenty of that to go around...especially when all your favorite people call you to give you birthday love! Throw in a sushi dinner, a homemade cake, and my kiddos singing to me and my smile never left my face! Happy Kicks for 36!

Baby It's Cold Outside.

When the temps drop, I immediately reach for my big cozy sweaters. Oh, and fur, anything fur. (Faux of course!). I also love oversized fleece pants, but those aren't really suitable for work! So instead, I threw my big, warm, and bright sweater over a casual dress. Tights were a must and then some combat boots to keep my feet warm. A suede bucket bag finished my look on this cold winter day.

Tulle.

How great is this tulle skirt? Ballerina chic? I kind of feel like Carrie Bradshaw ~ minus the 4 inch heels and glamorous life, of course! I decided to pair this girly skirt with some casual pieces. Enter the chambray shirt and army vest. A bit masculine and perfect partners. A pair of suede booties and some statement earrings were the finishing touches.

Pretty Plaid.

My obsession with plaid continues! This time I found the perfect comfy plaid sweatshirt at Target. I love the bigger plaid pattern and of course you can't beat the prices at Target. Sometimes it's fun to pair a casual piece with something a little dressy. I paired my sweatshirt with a dressier skirt and my chucks for a casual, cool look. Perfect for a warm fall day!
