Yesterday was a great day! My son met me with a huge smile from his crib, I had lunch with one of my girlfriends and I finally fit in a pair of size eight jeans!!!! They were my own jeans not ones I had to buy because I didn't have any in my closet that fit post baby! I may live in these jeans because I don't want to tempt fate by trying on other size eights that may or may not fit.

Because I was celebrating this new found size, I decided to jazz up those jeans with one of my favorite tops from last season. The collar is what drew me to the top and rightfully so. I blogged about Elizabethan fashion over the winter and this fits into that same catagory. Again, loving designers who give a nod to eras of the past.

 In addition to the amazing collar, I love the polk-a-dots! Because the temps have been cool in the morning and warmer by mid day, I decided to pair the sleevless top with a navy cardigan.What you don't see on the cardigan are the darling little buttons on the sleeve. Again, that little attention to detail!

Because the top was busy and the shoes were bright, I needed to keep my accessories subtle. I opted for my lucite and silver bracelet, silver and crystal earrings and a CZ ring. A clean look that still dresses up the outfit.

Now, let's talk about these shoes! My mom purchased these for me a couple of weeks ago at Habitat Shoe Boutique. I love the sunny yellow leather and contrasting pale gray sole and heel. This is a new designer for me and I am sold! They are very comfortable. I walked around all day, never stopping to take them off, which is a true testament to comfort! And besides, I love the look of navy and yellow! I was cheerful all day!!
