Leopard and Stripes + TBB Linkup
Three days in and I’m evidently the minority in my feelings about this time change. Somehow it has given me new energy! I don’t know if that extra hour really helped me catch up on sleep or if the fact it is so much darker earlier has helped me to settle down a little earlier. Regardless, I have felt more rested this week both mentally and physically and that is a very good thing!
I’ve been following a few challenges on Instagram and love having a few prompts to help me get dressed each day. Leopard and stripes is definitely a combo that works well together and I love how versatile this dress will be all year long.
Dress (similar) | Booties | Scarf
You may remember this dress was the one piece I kept in a Stitch Fix. The a-line is such a flattering look and it is easy to dress up and down. I’m also still loving this pair of booties and wear them multiple times per week and honesty this scarf has been a sure favorite since it arrived. Not only is it cute but the fabric is light weight enough to work for a warmer fall day.
How easily this dress takes it up a notch with the addition of a blazer and tall boots! This look will easily take me to a business meeting at work. My boots are several years old and I’m so glad I invested in them. They are actually Uggs!
I really love how this turned out! A cool front rolled in on Tuesday afternoon and I’m so excited to pull out tall boots this week.
I love this cuff! It was the first I purchased from Farmgirl Paints and I still love to wear it. Yesterday I shared a little from my heart and thought I would share with you today!
Feeling pretty is not just about how you feel on the outside but also how you feel on the inside. All the evil in our world can really put a damper on our happy cant it? There was a time when I worried so much every day about so many things…my anxiety was high and I was repeatedly self diagnosing myself with some horrible condition and working myself up into full panic mode worried about dying and leaving my kids with no mom. With the events in the world today I can only imagine my old self a ball of fear. Instead evil will not win here! It is all a reminder we are not guaranteed one more minute here and instead of living in fear I want to choose to find some happy in every day. I want to share love and be kind and even when the day is gloomy find that one small thing I can still be grateful for. If you are someone who struggles with finding your happy each day please let me know how I can pray for you!
I hope all of you are feeling pretty today and that you are finding something to be happy about today.

Your outfit is darling. I’ve got plenty of leopard in my closet. Now I’m going to match it with stripes. Enjoy your week.
Pretty dress. The scarf is a nice accent.
i love the pretty knit dress, great color and now i must buy that scarf, love it with your tall boots. I understand what you are saying. My mom and i talked about just that how this world can be so overwhelming with all of the horrible things going on, it does sadden me. i have anxiety i take meds for and try my best to fight it.
Have a great week Shelley!

Girl, I’m right there with you on the time change! I always love fall back because it’s SO much easier to get up in the morning!!
The color of that dress is perfect for you! And I love the message on your cuff!
I wish I adjusted to the time change so well! I am dragging lately (although that could also be due to the fact that I am 9 months pregnant)! Love that gorgeous dress! It’s really flattering on you!
Just got in from a 6 miles walk and I am sweaty and a hot mess but I feel great so in turn…..that makes me feel pretty! LOL…..I love the time change! I love that its light in the morning and I love that its dark at 5pm. Our pilot light is getting lit today from the Gas Co and I am ready for cold night and fires going!
Please bottle up some of that energy and send it here. Stat! Ha! I love your stripes and leopard, such a fun combo. That cuff is fabulous too and true!

I am 50/50 on the time change too and girl I share and shared your feelings on being panicky about dying or my child loosing her mom, too. I would love for you to read my post “Don’t be silent!”
On a style note you look great as usual. I love that year-around swing dress!
I’m glad you shared that you’ve had times of anxiety and self diagonising, because I do the very same thing! You have to feel pretty on the inside and the outside, love it!

Love how you put the stripes with the leopard! Such a perfect pairing that I wouldn’t have thought to use together! Also, those sunnies are so good too!

Love that cuff and all it represents! I’ve been kind of enjoying the time change too.
I wore this scarf yesterday and mixed it with plaid. I love how you styled it with the dress and OTK boots. You look fabulous!
I’m so going to have to try it with plaid! It really is such a great scarf.
The time change is SO much easier when your kids are over 5. Although, I do find the darkness to be a bit depressing. LOVE this pattern mixing.
I’m loving that dress! Perfect for all kinds of fall outfits. I am not a fan of the time change, mainly because it gets dark here before 5 now.
Such a pretty outfit, and I love that cuff! I agree that with all of the horribleness in the world today, it’s difficult not to feel some level of anxiety over it.
Great minds think alike, I am wearing a swing dress and a leopard scarf this week too!
Its amazing how a simple accessory like a leopard print scarf can make a huge difference in the outfit. Looking lovely out there dear. Love the booties too.
