If you're tired of slits up the back of your pencil skirt, try some pleats!

My shoes were a Christmas present that I am currently obsessed with. I love my heels, but my wedges just might become first...

I hardly wear necklaces, but I have collected quite a few over the years, so I tried to maximize all the charms I don't wear on one chain. I think I kinda like it. Maybe I will start wearing necklaces....maybe.

So I totally agree with Shannon in her post on making an investment in clothes. There aren’t many that are worth the price tag - especially when the turn-over in fashion is SO fast now. Neons are one of those I think is going to fade fast, but I love them! So, I invested in neon.

I love my new silk, neon pink blouse from J.Crew. I have never had a more perfect fit with a button-down. I am SO long waisted that the majority of button-downs I try on all stop too short and the waist sits where my rib cage is. This problem has been hidden with high-waisted pencil skirts and sweaters. But, with this blouse I can feel the freedom of shirt tails flying free. (Dramatic? Maybe, but wouldn't I be when I've spent most of my life searching for a button-up that isn't too short?) Price tag totally worth it. I would buy this blouse in every color. With such a bright color, I got nervous and kept everything neutral. So, what do you think? Are neons going to stick around?
