As of yesterday I was feeling quite good about myself for not shopping. It's
hard to do when you can't leave your house, but that's besides the point. Then my lovely inbox taunted me with a sale at
Nordstroms. As of late I have been just hitting the delete button, but I thought a quick peek wouldn't hurt. I found
this lovely dress and thought how cute would it be with a cardigan and my
Frye boots. I then got hold of my thoughts and decided to do some blog surfing instead. The next thing I know my idea of a floral dress, boots, and
this one with a little brown leather jacket had me hopping right back to the sale. So now I am the owner of
this dress...
because of
this image...
Now I just need
this jacket...
FYI: The dress will be a bit longer, I am that short. The Frye boots I got for only $20 in the children's section on an insane clearance, my feet are on the smaller side. Lastly, I probably won't be getting that jacket, not in the budget this year.
*This blog post touched me deeply. It reminds me of who I wanted to be years ago.

Love this look, and the boots for $20? Now that's a deal!! You will have to post a pic of yourself all decked out!
Oh so cute Paula! Your teeny feet must be adorable in Frye boots!!! I love that!!!
Those kind of images will lure you in and make an outfit stick out in your mind!
Frye boots for $20? And can't believe you can wear the kids. I'm jealous!
Love this look! With the cost of the books, its easy to buy the dress.
A beautiful mix...the jacket and dress combo is one of my favorites...and with boots...well just cheeky!!
Best,
Michelle
I love that dress. Good thinking about the kids section. I should look there for some!
Love the boots and the jacket..Wish I could wear short dresses..That day has come and gone...............;)
good lord, I need everything in that second image! Bless your small feet dear, it's hard for us average middle sizes to find shoes!
(1) I love the dress you bought.
(2) Frye boots for $20?!? Seriously?!? There are times when having ginormous size 10 feel like I do stinks. I never get good shoe deals.
And the jacket with that dress would be awesome...maybe a cute little scarf too? Love it.
love that outfit for sure....but I would check someplace like walmart or kmart - they totally have cute jackets on the cheap sometimes. I get more compliments about my Kmart denim jacket.
Cute outfit.
I too have the heart of a missionary. Something my sweet husband knows. After reading her blog, it's put so much into perspective and my prayers have changed now. Thank you for sharing!
Loving that 2nd image and saw that jacket on Elements of Style yesterday and fell for it.
I also have to thank you for mentioning Blueprint Bliss's post!! I went right over, read it and now with the tears drying I had to come back here and tell you. So glad to have met so many amazing girls through my silly musings!
Thanks again!
Oh you are going to look amazing in that outfit. So jealous of your steal on those boots amazing. I have yet to own a pair yet. Hopefully I'll some this year.
Sorry you and the kids are under the weather. I've been a bit behind blog reading this week and just caught up. Hope you are all feeling better soon!
I can see why you had to have the dress. What an adorable outfit. It's also seems surprisingly comfy and mom friendly.
these all look so great - i want it all! alll!!
Oh, that dress was so worth purchasing. It will be perfect for the fall.
Thank you for linking us to blueprint bliss to read her story and katie's story. I'm in tears and am deeply moved and reminded of what is important in life. It is always nice to be given reminders about the meaning of life and how blessed we are and how important it is to serve.
hey Paula -- there are some cute "leather" jackets at Target for under $30. I saw them this weekend and thought of this post! the cutest was in the maternity section ... but as best I could tell, the only thing that made it maternity was that it was cropped short.
