Grey Silky Dress

It was a grey day, but at least the rain held off long enough for me to take some photos in this dress.  This one is something I picked up in the L.A. fashion district, if I remember correctly.  It kind of has a retro look to the style.

I decided to wear my black beret, and flats with it to dress is down a little.

Orange Floral Sweater

I decided to go for something floral and a little springy today.  I am not sure I am looking forward to spring, though, because warmer weather means bugs, and humidity.

Once again, I am wearing my favorite skirt from Shein.  It really does go with so much.  I think I will be wearing it well into spring, too!

Navy Blue Beret

I am wearing my new navy blue beret that I bought from Aliexpress.  I am still slowly but surely getting berets in all the colors I think I will actually use.  

The rose gold bag is also a new addition to my wardrobe.  It was on sale for only $5 at Walmart.  My mother got one, too.  I thought it would be fun to have matching bags, but then it occured to me we could end up with each others bags, lol!  I think I will add a special charm to mine to keep that from happening! 
I love the color, the size, and the front pocket.  The pocket is the perfect size for storing your cell phone so you can easily get to it.

The pin I have attched to the beret is another Aliexpress purchase.  I love the dusty pink/mauve color!

Shein Brown Plaid Jacket

I own several pieces of this classic plaid, but they are all in the classic grey color.  I really liked this warm toned, beige plaid when I saw it on Shein's website, since it is a little different for me.  I am wearing the plaid jacket in a size small, and the fit is perfect. I can even wear a sweater under it comfortably.

If you want it in the more classic grey, though, they have that too!  
Can you believe this jacket is just $21.00?  I think it is a really good deal, especially for the quality. The fabric is thick, sturdy, and feels almost like wool, though it is made from polyester.  I think this jacket is going to be gorgeous to wear in the fall, because of what I consider to be the fall tones and colors.  The jacket features two front pockets, and they really work.
This jacket went so well with the suede skirt I am wearing!  I know it is going to look great with a lot of other things, too.  I can picture it with white jeans.

Biltmore Christmas Vacation

Today's post is my Biltmore Christmas vacation post!  

It is a bit late, but better late than never!  

I am s happy with how the photos turned out of me outside, wearing my red beret from Aliexpress and my red coat from Amazon.
I finally decided on this outfit for the house tour, because I knew I wanted to wear something pretty, comfortable, and that would keep me warm, but not too hot.  Since we had to take the bus to the Biltmore location, I did not want to carry a huge coat with me, but I certainly did not want to be too cold and miserable.  The red coat I decided on was just the right weight.

I took all of these photos with my Samsung Galaxy S8.  We also did not want to be lugging around a huge DSLR for the tour.  I am very happy with how well they turned out.  Some of the photos are blurry, but that is only because I as not still enough, and did not take the time to make sure I got the shot.

For shoes, I decided to just go with a pair of black flats.  I knew I didn't want to wear any heels when I would be touring such a huge place!
The Biltmore is the largest private home in the United States, did you know?

It really was a beautiful place to see, with lots of gorgeous decor.  It was a great experience, and Vaughan and I had a lot of fun.  The people that worked there, and also the guests were all very nice. 

Vaughan and I stayed at the Village Hotel.  There was live music, and special events, like cookie decorating during our stay.

Have you ever visited the Biltmore?  If so, what was your favorite part?

Shein Bright Pink Sweater

I have been wanting a bright, neon pink sweater, so, when I saw this one on Shein, I knew it was perfect for me.  It is a little over-sized, made with a V neck.  I am wearing a size small, and I am very happy with the fit.

I decided to pair the sweater with my black, crushed velour leggings, but I am looking forward to wearing it with lots of other colors, too.  The bright pink is a perfect color to wear for the winter/spring transition period.  The fabric is acrylic, and very soft and comfortable.  The knit is a looser weave, so you can wear it alone on warmer days, or wear a thermal top underneath to stay extra warm.  Today was a milder day in Virginia, so I wore it alone and was plenty warm!

Green Velour Leggings

I have had a hard time taking my OOTD photos lately.  The weather has been wild, cold, and rainy.  Today was a nice day, but I still didn't get the chance to take any new OOTD photos.  

I really like how this outfit turned out.
The jacket is one I bought from Bliss for just a few dollars. 

The leggings are from Roses.  I love how they are higher waisted than a lot of my other leggings.

Polka Dot Blouse

This top is one I bought in the L.A. Fashion District a long time ago.  I just finally got around to wearing it!  I thought it went very well with this skirt and hat; both were purchased from Goodwill.

The large pearl earrings I am wearing came with a necklace I bought from Roses.  I added a little chain to them, and made them into clips.

Beige Denim Jacket

This beige, denim jacket is one I bought last month for just $4 on sale at Roses.
I am not one to usually wear denim, or denim jackets, but I loved the color of this one.  The beige makes this a little more stylish, in my opinion.  I love how it goes with almost everything in my wardrobe as well!
 
The hat is also from Roses.  The little pin on the hat is one that I bought from Aliexress and it just came in the mail a few days ago.   They have so many cute jewelry pieces at Aliexpress!

I think this floral print dress is my favorite of the three.  The print is just so pretty, and the fabric is so comfortable.  It is lightweight, hides wrinkles, and has a slight stretch to it.  I think this would be especially perfect for spring!

I am wearing the dress in a size small, and the fit is perfect on me.  The dress have a full zipper up the back.

This is technically a robe, but I think it also look great worn over a dress as a kimono-type jacket.  
The crane print is so different, and pretty!  I love the color, too!
This is one of my new, favorite robes!

I am wearing a size large, and the fit is perfect with this, as well.

At only $14, this is a very good deal, I think.
