Ain't A Doll, But A Dorothy

I hope you all find some empowerment in this song.  It goes beyond relationships, to any area of your life where you feel you aren't the one in control.  Remember, it's your life and yours only.  Know that you deserve love & respect.  Settle for nothing less.

Monochrome with a pop of color can be your best friend.  It's the perfect way to add a touch of personality to a neutral color scheme while maintaining that effortless appeal.  I was feeling like Dorothy this winter day (we're not in summer anymore...) in my bright red buckled booties.  On trend and comfortable, I'm so glad I broke them out this winter to pair with my favorite new microdot tights.  I would recommend these tights to anyone looking to spice up a low-key look or just have some fashion fun!

A basic plain black tote is a staple in my closet & I've found some awesome ones here:
