One of my all-time favorite places to shop, Cents of Style, is having a fun sale this week on the Remi Swing Dress, which is a great little dress to wear all fall and winter long. It comes in a variety of colors (17 different shades, to be exact) and has a sweet, simple look (and it’s quite roomy so you can feel extra comfy in it!).

The dress is on mega sale today for $21.95 with free shipping (use code DRESS2016 at checkout) and I thought you might like to know about it! It comes in sizes small to 3XL (I’m rocking a large). Perhaps my favorite thing about this dress, besides how comfortable it is, is the fact that it makes the perfect backdrop for a showstopper accessory, like this fantastic Lori multi-color blanket scarf, also available from Cents of Style.

How I wish there was a way to reach through the computer screen and feel this fabric! It is SOOOO soft (it reminds me of alpaca, though of course without the alpaca price tag!) and the colors are so fun. Basically I put this scarf on and I just want to snuggle all day. And yeah, put it over my head, too.

I have no idea why I like to wrap stuff over my head like this, but I’ve been doing it since I was a teenager. Now you know something weird about me! 🙂 When I wrap something over my head that’s like my gold stamp, y’all. This scarf is such a winner, and the whole outfit is a perfect example of my favorite types of clothing to wear this time of year: cozy, comfy and rich with color. This scarf is going to be the piece that I wear with anything and everything this season. The fact that it has so many colors woven throughout it ensures that it goes with pretty much everything.

Definitely check out the hot new items on Cents of Style today. They have awesome sales on the regular, so it’s well worth signing up for their newsletters!

When I go shopping for clothes, I’m usually at my favorite thrift store. But whether I’m shopping second hand or shopping online, I’m very consistent about one thing: I always shop for Darah first.

Do you do this, too?! I think there are a few reasons.
1. The odds are better that whatever I pick out will fit Darah, and with me, you just never know!
2. Little girl’s clothes are CUTE!
3. I seem to get more joy out of spending on her than myself. I’m not really sure what that’s about, but it is true.

As a result, I often find myself with a closet stuffed with NOTHINGTOWEAR. I seriously wear the same 5 shirts over and over and over again. I keep going back to the tops that are as cute as possible while also being as comfortable as possible. Now you see why most of my wardrobe goes untouched.

I just added a 6th shirt to the constant rotation (I’m sure Tim and Darah are grateful for the change of scenery!). It’s from a very cute online retailer called Stellarocco. It’s the Palm Berries Cap Sleeve Top. Let me tell you why I love it so much.
1. It is really cute and on-trend! I can’t say that for too many things in my wardrobe, so it is really refreshing to have something updated like this.

2. The color is very pretty! Greens and purples are some of my favorite colors to wear, so this top just feels like me.

3. The cap sleeves are a little bit unique, and I love that. It gives a very flattering neckline.

4. The material is SO SOFT. Like, you’ll want to wear it to sleep after wearing it all day because it is so comfy. I may or may not have actually done this once or twice…

5. The price is fair. This runs for $26, and do keep in mind that the designs are unique to this company and rendered by an artist. Each shirt also gets silk-screened by hand. I’d say it is a tremendous value!

Buy it!: Stellarocco has a fantastic line of tees and tops featuring modern, botanical prints. There are looks to suit everyone there!
