OOTD & Some Blogs To Check Out

 

   I always look so smug when my boyfriend takes my pictures.  This is what I wore a few days ago to meet up with my friend for lunch.  My boyfriend seemed to think this outfit was weird but I love long dresses and skirts and wanted to make this summer dress work for winter.

I'm wearing:
Sweater: H&M Divided (Fall 2012)
Maxi Dress: ASOS Petite (Similar here and here)
Scarf: Zara (Fall 2012)
Shoes: Topshop (Fall 2011)
Lips: Sleek Lipstick in Papaya Punch

  I also included a shot of my brand new pretty socks.  I was complaining that I had no socks left so my boyfriend threw in a few pairs from Topshop as part of my anniversary gift.  He said they were "very Christine" which was right because I already owned an identical pair but I could definately use another.

    I want to say a huge thank you to Sam at Samuel James Morris, Katie at Champagne Lifestyle On A Lemonade Budgetand Paulina at This Girl Loves Chic.  All three of these lovely bloggers nominated me for the Liebster Award.  If you have a moment please go check out their blogs!  I have done a post on the Liebster Award before and don't want to do a full on post again. I will be doing a post sharing other blog links soon so watch out for that.

    I love this outfit, never mind about what your boyfriend this, we all know us girls dress for ourselves and for each other. If we dressed for men we would walk around naked lol.

    I really like your blog and am now following :)
