Rainy Day

It has rained non-stop for 24 hours.  I think they said 4-10''.  I don't know the totals as of now, but either way, whatevs.  I love rain.  But the rain is the reason why I wore heels today.  There were so many puddles by my house that flats or sandals wouldn't do me any good, so I threw together a very simple outfit and headed out.

p.s. I didn't know where/how else to take any more creative pictures in my house, so the next one is a bit silly.

Check out one of my greatest vintage finds so far, this beautiful bracelet- the pic doesn't do it justice:

What is this last cheesy sepia one with the heart you ask?  Why, it's me and Michael's anniversary today! Haha, I am kinda a loser, I know.  Anyway, sometimes the simplest outfits can be the cutest.  None of what I am wearing is trendy, and this outfit could be worn for a casual work day, to the mall, or out for a date.  Perfect.

How could I dress this outfit up a bit?

I'm not going to tell you you can do it by shoes this time, like I normally do.  You could dress this up with a blazer.  Also, instead of a long necklace, a shorter, fuller necklace will not only dress it up, but add a romantic touch. They're usually called 'bib' necklaces (see pics below), and are really easy to find this fall season.

Until next time....

And don't forget! Today is the last night of the giveaway! Tomorrow morning I will post the lucky winner!
