Once fall rolls around, my uniform is pretty much black.  I stock up on versatile, mixable pieces for each cold season, and my accessories float me through. One of my favorite prints for accessorizing: LEOPARD! It has a punchy, fun vibe and goes with everything.  It's been quite the trend recently, and if you're not ready to buckle down and buy a leopard blazer or another big investment piece, the accessories are the way to go!  Any trend can really be tried out through accessories, and this one is just so right.  Can't wait to give it a try!

Black Maxi Weekend

Yesterday was such a fun and busy day!  I worked all day at the boutique, went out for dinner at Two Brothers, a microbrewery near us, and came back to our house to continue the party with a ping-pong tournament and the new "Pictionary Man."  Needless to say, yesterday rocked!  I also wanted to look chic and be comfortable all day.  I picked up this black maxi from Forever 21 last year for a total steal; I think it was $7!!!  Yesterday was its first debut out of the house, and it passed the test.  I added an old light brown belt to anchor the whole thing and keep it from looking too dressed up (long black dresses have a way of doing that).

After shooting the regular blog photos, Mike and I had an impromptu family shoot.  Here are the highlights:
