As much as I wish I was a day-to-day print mixing, color conquering, outfit master – it ain’t me babe. With a lot of preparation and time I can make those things happen but mostly it’s something like this. Especially with Mother Nature really shutting things down lately, I can’t seem to get motivated beyond the basic black day-t0-day look.

So here it is in all it’s glory (okay, you may want to add in the word boring before glory, you’re call – no judgement). No but really, I’m trying to make the most of what I’ve got and I did recently rediscover (and by rediscover, I mean stumble upon in my overpacked coat closet) this jacket. I’ve worn it before here and I love how it adds a little to even the most basic (yeah you can sub in the word boring again if you want) outfits.

Mostly though, I just needed another opportunity to talk about how much I love these boots. No joke, they are the best black boots I’ve ever had. Dare I say ever (okay okay, I know that’s an overstatement)?

Anyways, gotta run. It’s Monday and I’ve spent the last five days dealing with the stomach bug as it worked it’s way through our house. Seriously, if someone says they have it – run away as quickly as you can (arms flailing in the air if possible). It is no joke.

p.s. – i’ll be live tweeting The Bachelor tonight while cutting over to the national championship game, so if you’re in the mood to chat about the crazies, dresses and loud kissing – follow here.
