Mission #1

Your mission, should you choose to accept it -

Make this outfit interesting:

This is one of my favorite summer dresses, and living in TX it's already warm enough for such a dress. I usually just wear it with the pictured sandals. I think it would look great with a cardigan, but what color? And jewelry? My first (and only) thought is silver bangle bracelets and silver hoop earrings. But I'd love to be able to take this from a simple little dress & sandals combo to a really chic outfit.

Any ideas?

An Intro...

Hello! I'm new to formally blogging, though I've been following several for a while now. I'm here to get help.

What sort of help you ask?

Fashion!

I love clothes, I love shopping, I love all types of fashion. But when it comes to myself I think I'm a bit of a mess. I own almost no accessories - 2 cocktail rings, pearl earrings, a watch, and my wedding rings are about it. I don't know how to put cute outfits together and need help. I think that on their own, my clothes are decent, but I'm not so great at making interesting outfits. I have been reading so many fashion blogs for over a year now and love looking at all outfits you ladies put together and want to be able to do the same for myself. My I'm lacking something, somewhere and don't know what to do or where to start.

Therefore, I've decided to ask for help in the same place I was looking for it - online. My idea is that I post photos of outfits of mine or clothes I own and ask for help making them into a chic, fashionable outfit rather than some random things I've thrown together. My hope is that within a few months I'll be able to make great outfits for myself, like a big girl lol.

My style is fairly simple. I love classic, simple clothes with a feminine twist. I love Reese Witherspoon's style, for example. I am able to buy new things, though I'd prefer not to spend over $50 for anything, as I have two kids I'd much rather spend money on. So please, help me look nice! I'm open to most anything and really want to feel pretty and cute and like I have some style.
