Light and Airy

 As a testament to how far behind I've gotten on blogging: this outfit photo was taken on Wednesday, and the outfit is from Fashion Night Out, from quite a while back!  I loved it too much to let it go undocumented, though.

Dress: Vintage (old ebay score for my college's croquet match)

Belt: Anthropologie

Shoes: Pink Studio

Necklace: c/o Anjolee, review coming soon!

So in love with this "adult" and ladylike solitaire necklace. It's a new style for me and James loves it!

I felt apprehensive when I initially stepped out in this dress because of the old "no white after labor day" rule.  As soon as I was out and about, I felt better, since the dress is very comfortable and unique.  I know the "midi length" skirt is supposed to be a trend this fall, so I figured this below-the-knee cut would work for a Fashion Night.  I'm not normally one to get excited about trends, but any trend that favors a more modest cut is always fine by me since it means I can look more modern and more classroom-appropriate at the same time!  

What's your opinion on trends? Too expensive to keep up with, or a fun way to keep up with the times?  I tend to avoid them unless they fold in easily with my style.  If I do pick up a trendier item, I make sure it's on the inexpensive side, like a Forever 21 pair of colored denim pants or H&M mod skirt. (I have my eye on both items now!)

Let's have some music on the blog again!  I love sharing it with you :)  I'm in the process of making some mix CDs for old friends and this song is on them.  I think it goes with the mood of my outfit, if there is such a thing.
