Statement Necklaces

Recently I have been trying to break out my shell.  I am normally a very conservative dresser.  I don't jump on every trend that pops up.  I don't experiment with a lot of patterns.  I don't wear a lot of big jewelry.  However, I am a recent college graduate and I feel now's as good a time as any to start breaking out.  I have started by adding more jewelry to my normal everyday look.  I wear a lot of solid colors, so adding a fun necklace or a stack of bracelets makes my outfit pop.

How To Style Polka Dot Tights

Polka-dots is one of my favorite trends recently.  I particularly love polka-dot tights.  Tights are so fun to wear when it's cold out, plus you can dress then up or down... the possibilities are endless.  I have a few pairs of tights, but I really love my brown and teal spotted pair from Kate Spade.

Some of my favorite preppy bloggers have been styling polka-dot tights recently.  I think I need a pair of sheer polka-dot tights, like the ones below.

Fall Riding Boots

One of my favorite things about fall is getting to wear boots.  Skinny jeans tucked into boots.  Tights and skirts with boots.  Pretty much any outfit is better with a pair of boots.
