What I'm Wearing: I Taupe You Like This


Hello lovelies! How are you all doing today? I had a much better morning, for those of you who read my post yesterday, you know what I'm talking about. I am wearing my first tights of the season so hooray for that. I love tights, they are a fun way to spruce up the color palette of any outfit. I actually went for neutral colors today, so this isn't a prime example, but don't worry your pretty little heads, you will see the bright tights at some point. I really love the taupe shirt I have on, because of the interesting ruched sleeves. Don't you love a fun sleeve, it's like normal cut shirt - check, normal color- check, then BAM! awesome sleeves. Okay, so maybe I get a bit too fired up about sleeves, I will bring it back down.

I am so attracted to shiny things. I will stop mid sentence and run toward sparkly objects in the store. This is not a joke. I saw this necklace at a booth at the Appleumpkin Festival for like $12 and I was so stinking excited. I love the various colors in it and I like how it plays with the silver metallic thread in my skirt.

    I cannot believe you are just now busting out the tights in mid-December. Your style blogging privileges should be revoked ;)

    Alright....so the article of clothing that I despise wearing is any form of hosiery. OMG Kassi first of all, those damn things come up so high and then the whole day my belly is itchy. Anyways, enough about me, Love this outfit. And yes...your "taupe" that I like it...is absolutely true. Yup I like it.

    GASP! I LOVE this outfit. Taupe and I have a deep and abiding love for one another.

    I completely understand your love of sparkly things. I can't tell you how many times people I'm shopping with lose me. I see something shiny, scamper off quickly, and end up getting a phone call from a confused friend or family member ten minutes later when they've given up searching for me. True story.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Your comments always make me giddy like a school girl on a sugar high. Leave your link so I can creep on you. The good kind of creeping. Not the kind where I hang your pictures in my room or anything. (awkward shuffle)

Fashionably yours,

Kassi
