Ensemble du Jour - 2-7-12

Yes, I wore this soft kitten-grey polka-dotted cardigan from Target.

And it went great with the red pencil skirt from Express

And with the grey Tibi Daisy flats...

China Glaze's Recycle warm grey polish looked great too...

But really... it was all just a backdrop for the ring.

Isn't this adorably stunning?

It's the "Winter in Paris" snow globe ring from DIVINEsweetness on Etsy.  And I knew I had to have it the moment I saw it.  Worth every penny and the wait to get it.

It stands out and draws eyes while being subtle and delicate.  I'm just in love but I'm going to savor the wearing of this.  It's too precious for every day....

Skirts of Sparkle and Swirl

You've gotta love the ongoing sales.  If you want something, wait a day.  There's probably a coupon code for it.

With some latest promos, I've invested in the following items.

1. Red Skirt

I haven't found a great pair of red jeans for me yet but a skirt I can easily wear.  This classic pencil skirt is from Express. It's lined and you can nab a deal with their promo code or by signing up for their email.  Before coupons it is $79.

2. Sparkly Skirt

This skirt, also from Express, jumped out at me on Pinterest.  Also $79 before the coupon code, I loved the playful tiers of sequins... and you know I'm a sucker for sequins.  I'm going to dress it down with a slouchy sweater and tights.

3. Swirly Skirt

I fell in love with the City Lights Lilith skirt from Kate Spade (you can see it being designed here).  It was a bit pricey but then they had their big 75% off sale and I grabbed it.  I don't think it's available now but there are two other patterns in this style that are still on sale. Both are awfully cute as well!

Do you have a favorite skirt of the season?

Ensemble du Jour

I really really really should never go to eBay... or I should go all the time. I tend to go on for a while and find a bunch of amazing things and then avoid it for months to a year.

When I do stop back by it feels like kismet because I find just wanted.

Like these Prada spat boots from S/S 2008. I really really wanted them for ages and suddenly found them!



Meant to be worn with dark tulle



Obligatory blogger twirl!!!!



The long tulle skirt is from Express about 10 years ago (really!) and the black top has sequins on the sleeves. It's from Ann Taylor.



I didn't wear it the whole day but I liked walking around with an Em and Sprout bunny on my head for while.

I'll put more shoe pics up on Flickr.
