Today's Everyday Fashion: No Regrets





























I have an annoying habit of "saving the best for last." As a child I would save my best candy or Crayon and then ultimately wound up never getting to use them. I wish I could say I've outgrown this tendency, but I did the same thing with this outfit! I wanted to save it for a cold day in Orlando and instead I missed the boat altogether. :-( There's always next winter, right?

Styling tip: Please, by all means, learn from my mistake! Don't save that amazing outfit, wear it now! If there's another occasion down the line, just wear it again. I promise I won't tell. ;-)

  3. I think this is your best advice yet...at least for me to follow. I have a closet full of dresses and skirts (some with tags still on them) because I always wait for the right occasion to wear them. This is partly why I banned myself from shopping this month.

  13. I agree...NEVER save an amazing outfit...wear it when you discover it and feel great in it.
    And when you wear it the next time....just change a detail or two and you will feel like you are
    wearing something completely different!
    Love this look!
