This may very well be the final bare-legged photo for the next 5 months or so. The cold is moving in...and I think it may be for good this time. I've been trying to wear a few cute outfits with bare legs--just because I "can" for a few more days!

Good news though....my red tights arrived in the mail yesterday so cold weather fun-ness awaits :-)

By the way, I feel that everyone should own animal print pumps. Trust me when I say you totally feel better when you're feeling a bit draggy during the work day and you look down and see giraffe print. Seriously, who wouldn't feel better at that sight?

Whoever said that clothes don't set your mood was seriously mistaken. If I'm feeling kinda blah in the morning and just throw on khakis, a sweater and loafers, I feel blah all day long and never really snap out of it. If I know I'm going to have a long or tough day, I make a point to try to wear something that is powerful, chic, brings back a positive memory (like a piece of jewelry or accessory) and/or that makes me smile. Fashion is like my mood enhancing drug of choice. :-)
