Y'all know I've been yip yapping about THIS DRESS for a bit now and let me say, she did not disappoint! Even though it's obviously loose & trapeze fitting, the color, little ankle peek, and shoulder display make it surprisingly flattering (I suggest sizing DOWN). And how happy am I that it works well with a Faux Leather jacket for a perfect fall transitional look. Not to mention you could pair this lovely with a handful of hues--how about yellow, gold, or royal blue? Apologies for the hemline wrinkles--was sitting cross legged and seems she got a little crumpled (major pet peeve)! Alright gang--insane work day ahead--make it a good one!

Not a mag. Not Pinterest. Not a fellow blogger. Gang, this rig was actually inspired by none other than a sweet adorable Dalmatian named Mali (Hi McKamy & Holly)! Seriously, this pup is the cutest, chubbiest little thing...but it was Mali's patterned spots that had me inspired. So you see, don't limit yourself to the usual sources of inspiration--it truly is any & everywhere! Make it a good one--oh, and ps: I will be at Adele this Thursday for their Hazen Jewelry & Marc Allison Jeans Trunk Show--but I'm certainly not limiting myself to just those as Adele is swarming with gems left & right--would love to see y'all there!

When asked to participate in the Of Wit & Will shop your closet contest, I thought, "I'll give it a go!" Not one to typically enter contests, I couldn't resist the idea of recreating a look from any of the Fall 2013 Fashion Shows--more importantly, shopping your own closet to achieve the look (well that and the $1000 shopping pass enticed me, too). After searching looks from my favorite designers, I stumbled upon the look above from the Burberry Men's Fall 2013 lookbook. There weren't any rules stating I couldn't go coed, so I thought why not add a little femininity to an otherwise masculine look? What do you all think? If you'd like, take a gander over to Of Wit & Will's FaceBook Page and VOTE ---I sure would appreciate it! Or while you're at it, see what you can recreate--contest ends this Friday. Y'all make it a good one!
