OOTD- Is This Over Yet?

Is the color blocking trend over with yet?? If it is, then I am horribly out-of-date because these new purple pants of mine where begging to be paired with my green blazer. We all went out for a night of girl time and drinking at Shecky's last night and we had lots of fun.

Do you tend to dress trendy or classic? Do you like to follow what's new for the season or do you like to stick to your tried and true closet pieces? The fashion industry is a fickle beast so there's always something new to buy and try and I admit that I love to test the waters with what's trendy (as long as it works for me), but if there is one thing that's apparent, it's that what goes around comes around. What's old is new again, right? So whatever you gravitate towards, just remember to find what works for you, your lifestyle and body. But most importantly, go with what puts a smile on your face. You can't go wrong when that happens!

OOTD- Summer Layered

I have it in my head that I need an orange dress for winter. Especially after seeing this cute and simple DvF number and let me not talk about the awesome back detail on this Tibi dress. I saw someone wearing it last week and it made me love it even more. Alas, the only orange dress I have is a t-shirt dress that I picked up at H&M over the summer, but I found a way to make it work for the chilly weather by adding some layers. Since it isn't ridiculously cold yet, I styled it with a tee instead of a sweater and put on some cable-knit tights. Can I tell you how excited I am to go crazy and layer whatever I can in my closet? If I start looking like a third Olsen twin (except not really), it might be time for concern. In the meantime, I will be layered up and cozy.

Speaking of the Olsen twins, are you guys signed up for StyleMint yet? If not, you should. Do it here!! I have way too many t-shirts in my closet, so when StyleMint came around I figured I probably wouldn't be buying anything, but this is number three. I love the patterns, colors and design elements of their selection which is why I have added only more tops to the current toppling tower.

Do you have any toppling towers going on in your closet? What can't you stop buying all the time?
