Lace Oxblood + Polka Dots

In an effort to stay with my tiny budget this holiday, I've been pretty much couped up at home. No driving around, no silly purchases at Target, no quick stops at McDonald's, just driving only to work and grocery shopping. With no where to go, I haven't had any blog worthy outfits to post, unless you find Minnie Mouse onsies exciting. Yesterday, I was able to get out of the house to do some last minute Thanksgiving shopping. I wore my favorite lace oxblood dress with cream polka dot tights and a few of my favorite bracelets. I'm obsessed with these tights and have been trying to come up with many outfit ideas which will allow me to wear them more often.

Some of the jewelry worn here was from my great grandmother, Lenore. She had fabulous taste and I feel honored to wear some of her pieces. It's my way of continuing her legacy.

I Found Them

I mentioned before how hard it was for me to find a well fitted faux leather skinnies. Well, I finally found them! While on my trip to visit my family, I dropped on by the local Forever 21 (LOVE that store) and found these. The skinnies aren't all leather, only the front side, but the fit, style, and cut is just right. I found a wonderful woven cream and black blouse with faux leather collar and sleeve cuff to complement the skinnies.

I also got this cute oxblood lace dress and two pairs of tights, one in off white with polka dots and the second black with hearts. When I saw the polka dotted tights, I instantly thought of blogger Keiko Lynn and her outfit. Now I'm all set for autumn and can't wait to wear the new pieces!
