This past weekend B and I had a little weekend getaway in Fredericksburg, Tx. Which basically means we went to a lot of wineries and ate a lot of cheese. I also caught up on trashy, reality tv in bed and stayed far, far away from the internet. (Well, with the exception of Instagram. Must. document. everything.) It doesn't take a lot to make us happy. Although I must say I missed the internet and you guys. Even though cheese is an excellent distraction.
How was your New Years Eve? And even more importantly, how many resolutions have you made and broken so far? I've not broken a-one. Mainly because I've yet to make any. It's hard to expect a whole year of self-improvement, no? That's a heavy contract. So out of everyone you know, I will be the one not becoming a better person this year. Except I'll probably join a gym and forget that I did in about two months. That's always a given.
Happy new year! May you resolve to stay as witty and peppy as ever. Your blog has been a delight to read and I can't wait to see what the new year brings.
love the dots! and the look on you! :) I would also be satisfied with some wine and cheese. Sounds like a perfect holiday to me :) I haven't made any resolution yet. Don't know if I should :)
I love this outfit, since Dressember I have been yearning for a chic selection of jeans, jumpers and boots. I may start a pinterest board (called 'beyond Dressember') and have this outfit on it as my first pin if that is ok by you?
Sounds like a delightful little trip you had, cheese is the best, I think I have eaten about 2kg of cheese since 20th December (no lie) I should be about 6 dress sizes bigger but cheese is the one thing I can hoover up and just about get away with it! Any excuse eh?!
Love all the dot action today! And I made quite a few New Year's resolutions, but tried to stay vague and small so that no one will know I'm not breaking them (wink). Happy New Year!Morgan seemomogo.blogspot.com
Really like this outfit, very fitting for our weather over here. Its very Western meet city chic. So far I've only made 2 resolutions-to learn to drive and to ride a bike at the age of 22. Happy New Year.
Polka dots on polka dots? Genius! I'm glad to hear that you and B had a nice break with cheese and wine galore, as far New Years resolutions, I don't have any... yet, I'm still deciding on what I really would want to see happen. Anyway, love your outfit and I can't wait for another year filled with fun fashion!
You know what's usually missing from polka dots? More polka dots. I think "more polka dots" should be your one and only NY resolution. Congrats, you've already succeeded.
Every year I make so many resolutions and some of them get accomplished and some of them don't. This year I decided to want less and accomplish more. To do more and expect less.
Fredericksburg is the best! I went there recently to do a wine tour with a bachelorette... classy-ish and so much fun. The night life was not to die for, but the lights were cool. Love the dots!!
Yep, I knew I wouldn't stay with the whole "get fit, get healthy" thing so I broke it into two tiny little goals... 1) Stop going to Starbucks every. single. day. and 2) Drink more water! So far, so good although I practically had to drag myself away from Starbucks this morning! And cheese is the best distraction there is ;) Glad you're back!
oo i love the layering of dots over dots!! super cute!! i also didn't really make any resolutions for this year... i never really keep them anyway... i say just try your best daily and that's what matters! :)
I love dots and dots on dots is twice as nice. I enjoy your posts as much as your outfits. No resolutions though I'm going to try to get more exercise that involves a little more effort than turning the pages of a book or operating the remote control.
I've only made one resolution... to get dressed at least once on each of the remaining winter weekends. The snow makes me wish I owned a Forever Lazy, so I could be just that. That's ambitious enough, right?
Love the outfit. My new year's eve was all right. I mostly spent the evening at home watching Dick Clark's New Year's Eve Celebration while munching on pizza. As for resolutions, I haven't made one yet either haha.
Lessons learned from Kendi today: Wine and cheese are always a good distraction, you can never have too many polka dots, and resolutions were made to be broken : ) I love your monogram necklace!
Oh love the polkadots over polkadots! Wouldn't have thought about it, what great idea! I broke one resolution to eat healthier when I stumbled upon a bacon-wrapped hotdog ten minutes after midnight on January 1st. Did I mention bacon?
dots on dots. just love it. and don't worry about the resolutions. we have so much time to make goals and fail. doesn't have to be all on one day ;) http://www.thismomsgonnasnap.com
kendi, def been following you for a while. so. do you really look at all the blogs that ppl leave in their comments? just wondering! btw, u are so cute! your style is def unique. you inspire me to do a style blog too, but i need to lose weight. anyways, HI :)
I love how your layer your looks! I tried to do a button down under a sweater today (which happened to have polka dots) but just couldn't get my shirt to sit right. You are a master at layering:)
I don't make new years resolutions either. I made one in third grade (to be able to pronounce my R's), accomplished that goal and haven't made one since. Now I can say I have a perfect record when it comes to sticking to my resolutions :)
My husband and I were JUST talking about taking a little trip to Fredericksburg! (We're also in north Texas!) Any recommendations on where to stay, things to do, places to see? Thanks! :)
Dots on dots- love it! I'm not one to make resolutions, but I have a ton this year. They mainly revolve around my blog. Haven't broken any thus far! And not planning on it.
I LOVE this outfit - every single element! You look adorable (not that this is a big shock, but especially adorable) I usually only like polka dots when I'm pregnant (no idea why) but I LOVE this.
I absolutely love this outfit. I love the way you pair the polka dots with polka dots, I have both these items and never would have thought to put them together!!!! thanks for the inspiration
I just got that madewell tote and I feel like I should weather proof it or something. Did you? If so, any products you recommend. I'm scared to ruin it! I like my bags to last me a long time
This outfit is cute. It gives me inspiration to be daring with polka dots myself (don't have a lot)! I love your hair colour too! I had to share it with my StyleSays Community girlies (http://www.stylesays.com/look/10515?first=1), and on my blog (http://www.lazarusstr.blogspot.com)! Thanks for the inspiration!
I feel it very important to let you know that I have been stalking these boots for about a year, ever since I first discovered you wearing them last fall, and I finally bought the last pair in my size, online, last week and I'm kicking myself for living so long without them. If you understood the relationship I have with my boot collection, it would all make sense, but in any case, THANK YOU, and I hope you're having a marvelous new year!
