Black and Grey

I didn't realize my Vintage Finds post on Friday was my 100th post! Yay! I started this blog as a way to challenge myself to dress better, kind of a way to stay accountable for how I look - I didn't realize how much I would come to love doing it, and how many lovely people I would "meet" from it! Thanks to everyone that reads and for all your support and comments!

See, told you! Here are the boots again, this time in a dressier fashion. I liked this outfit, but looking at it now I think I should have styled it differently. If I could go back, I'd lose the leopard belt and go with a statement necklace - the one I'm wearing is entirely to dainty and delicate. I think I'll give the skirt and high boots thing a try again, but in a different way.

Separately from this outfit though, I love the belt. I like that it's long enought to tie up in one of those untraditional knots that you see bloggers doing all the time. Also, yay for weather that's nice enough for outdoor photos, and for it not being dark by 5!


I love using the smile detection setting on my camera because it gives me well focused shots - but I always look silly in the first frame or two trying to activate it lol!

  4. Great outfit. I do agree with you about the necklace but the belt is really cute too. I have been searching for belts but because I am thick in the middle, am unsure if I can carry off skinny belts. I also find it is difficult to find belts in plus sizes that don't cost a fortune.
    Anyway, great outfits this week : )
