Outfit Post: Mixed Messages

This weekend I had an awesome time shooting photos for our 2012 Holiday Lookbook (in the works, and hopefully, on your screen at the end of this week!).  I also did the shopping, styling, hair and makeup--a lot of work, but even more fun!  I was inspired by one of the holiday looks and decided to try to recreate it from pieces in my own wardrobe.  I haven't done very much pattern mixing in my fashion experience, but I think I like it!

Oh, and I changed my hair color a little...can you tell?  I am really loving it.


 Outfit details:  faux leather jacket-thrifted, blouse-vintage, belt-vintage, skirt-vintage Pendleton, 
tights-random, booties-Michael Kors (thrifted)
Aurora is picking up on the outfit post modeling.  As soon as she saw the camera, she hustled right over to my side and put her hands on her hips.  I think we have a model in the making...(and her outfit is head to toe thrifted! Cardigan- Crewcuts, Dress-Lands End, Booties-Mini Boden...under $15 for it all!)

We had a busy day yesterday...from church/Sunday school, to grocery store, to blog/shop work at home, to ANOTHER grocery store, and then out for a birthday dinner (I had my first margarita in ages! And some yummy mushroom/pepper tacoes!). It was a great day, but we were exhausted by the end. My plans to measure all evening turned into snuggling on the couch with Q while watching Revenge (we are addicted!).

Hope your weekend was wonderful and productive!  I am ready for another nice, long weekend in just a few days...

xo,
Amanda

      THank you SO much...I used a new boxed dye that is supposed to be good for darker hair, and it worked like a dream! I think it was Garnier.

    OK....this could not be more gorgeous. Three of my favorite things, polka dots, red accents, and a fantastic hair day. Stop it!

    I love the outfit! Polka dots are a fave of mine and you tied that blouse and skirt together really well with the red belt! Your hair looks great too. :)
