Something Old, Something New

When It's Cold Outside

Last week the temperatures dropped down into the low 40s, and we Memphians nearly froze to death.  Fortunately for me I got the chance to wear my "chicago dress".

This dress was given to me by my best friend during a visit to Chicago (in May), and it literally snowed and sleeted the entire weekend I was there.  Of course I hadn't packed clothing for such frigid temps, but thankfully Ash has a tons of cute, warm clothes that I can fit into.  This dress is probably the single warmest item of clothing that I own...besides a coat.  It's a completely ribbed cable knit maxi, with a chunky cowl neck.

Celebrate with SOSNU!!!

Earlier in the month I celebrated my birthday, and to commemorate the occasion I debuted my SOSNU Blog custom t-shirt that I received from idakoos.com.  I want to offer you, my lovely readers, the opportunity to purchase your very own custom t-shirt using an exclusive coupon code.

My experience with the good people over at idakoos.com was more that I ever expected.  Customer service, and their standand of excellence was second to none.  My custom t-shirt arrived promptly as scheduled, and was securely packaged.   As you can see I chose a basic white women's t-shirt donning my SOSNU logo.  The custom t-shirt is amazing quality, the cotton is reminiscent to a jersey material because there is a bit of stretch to the fabric.  The stretch offers more comfort and wearability to the t-shirt, and that's a huge plus.

White Light Beam

...the girl that wore white again and again.  While most might resort to black as their go-to color for an easy look.  I tend to dabble at the opposite end of the color spectrum.  White, or shall I say beige is my favorite color.  I wear it so often that people who I'm not close with noticed that it's my favorite color. 

Wearing white, off-white or beige provides instant chicness...whether you decide to accessorize or not.  In this post, I paired my dress with a large gold embellished bib.  This bib is a something new item I got for Christmas.  My mom took a chance and actually bought me something this year for Christmas, instead of settling for a gift cards (which she still gave me 4. lol)  She did a great job, she pitted my style perfectly.
