Aztec Prints and Fits Of Pink

I have to tell you... I'm getting a little bored with the same ol same ol lately. You know those times when you get bored of everything, and start looking for other things to motivate you? I'm having one of those moments.

However, I feel so lucky to have someone in my life to help me through the rough patches. My husband and his nationality has made such an impact on my life in ways I never imaged. The biggest of which, obviously, is in how I define my personal style. I think I relate more to the British - they can be a little eccentric, and people seem to accept that more among their culture. In my younger teenage years, I felt extremely out of place in New Jersey... because people tend to look the same, dress the same. But with the British, it's like... as long as you're not a pikey, and you're a good person who enjoys a good laugh... you're alright.

what to wear with a bodycon dress

One advantage of being married to a Brit (besides getting to travel to England, and having a husband with a charming accent) is discovering new places to spend my dosh . I can't tell you how giddy I was when I found out UK based fashion retailer Boohoo.com was coming stateside! I was ecstatic to receive a bunch of goodies from them over the weekend, and immediately, I had to pair this Aztec Print Bodycon Mini Skirt with my other latest purchase - my Kate Spade New York Wellesley Bag!

I love a quirky accessory on the uber cheap. Heart-shaped sunglasses for $10? Yes, please!

As a blogger, I think there's some weird expectation that you shouldn't wear the same clothes on your blog repeatedly. That you're not really a forward thinker if you have to recycle your looks.

Well, there's something I live in, and it's called reality. 

And that means I wear my clothes, wait for it... more than once <gasp>. Surprising, I know. Go ahead and pick your chin up off the floor. I'll wait...

What I Wore:
Striped Tank - Forever 21 / High Waist Plaid Skirt - Urban Outfitters / New Bond Street Florence Bag - Kate Spade New York / Alexia Sandal - Modern Citizen (formerly StyleStalk) 
Accessories:
In The Spotlight Double Wrap Bracelet (purple) - Henri Bendel /
Gold Pyramid Stud Bracelet - Forever 21 /  Crystal Lanyard Bracelet - Henri Bendel / Rings - Craft fairs 
Lipstick: Mary Kay True Dimensions Lip Stick in PInk Cherie (c/o Mary Kay Influenster box)




The fun part of personal style is the combinations and outfit options you can create with pieces that become your favorites. In my case, I can find umpteenth ways to wear stripes and skirts. This high-waist plaid skirt is at least three years old, but I've managed to wear it over and over again. As a matter of fact, I wore it last July in my Summer Stripes post - with a striped shirt. 

While the idea of wearing something once might be appealing, I like to get my money's worth. What are you thoughts on bloggers recycling looks?
