Flower Power And A Mullet

     I’m loving this sweater I recently purchased from shopconversationpieces.com.  It’s lightweight, so it will be great for spring. Since the weather is cooler  I just threw a cami on under it.  I’m thinking my navy blazer will look fab over it for an additional layer of warmth.  I paired it up with my blue mullet skirt…so much more fun to call it a mullet skirt as opposed to a high-low skirt, am I right?  I went necklace free with this outfit.  I thought there was enough going on with the floral print and I didn’t want anything interfering with it.
     The problem I ran into was footwear related.  I needed boots to keep my legs warm since I wasn’t feeling tights that day.  Can I vent about tights for just a minute?  I. Hate.Them.  No, really. I do.  I do not like feeling confined and uncomfortable and if you google “confined and uncomfortable” I’m pretty sure tights would be at the top of the search results. Since I’m so petite, even small tights seem to go clear up to my neck once I get them on.  I could throw a blazer and belt over them and rock ’em like a jumpsuit.
     Anyway, back to the footwear.   My black boots didn’t look quite right and ankle booties weren’t an option because really, what good are warm ankles?  So, I went with the brown boots and I’m thinking it worked out pretty well.  They played well with the blue and gray and my legs were warm.  It was a win-win.

I love that you went with brown boots. It’s unexpected.

I kind of like tights. They conceal that my legs aren’t tanned and perfect. Also they make me look taller. But putting them on or taking them off? Hate.

I thought the brown was a different choice. I do like the leg concealing part, but that doesn’t make up for the torture!

You are always making me click over to check out where you’ve bought something! On other blogs I think Ooo that’s nice then move on, here I say Oooooo *CLICK* (hurrying off to see that beautiful, but still comfy looking sweater)!

I really love your printed sweater! Such a great piece for fall and winter. I’d totally rock it with a flirty skirt (like you did) and then a pair of jeans and heels.

I really like that sweater! So bright and fun and I’m loving the print on front and plain arms (like the one I had on). It’s new and fun and fresh, right? I agree it will look great under a blazer and give it a completely different look. I think you are going to get a lot of wear out of it!

Looking very of the moment, and way cute … I like the look with the boots. How about adding a leather jacket? Gray, blue or boot-matching tan? Sorry about the tights. You shouldn’t ever have to wear them if you don’t like them!

I actually did have a leather jacket on with this, but didn’t photograph it! I know, I agree about the tights, but a girls gotta stay warm!
