A whole new world has opened up to me. Cropped cardis for cropped people! :-)

I used to think I could only wear jewel tones, but my options just keep growing as I explore all the colors of the rainbow! For starters, I could easily see you in some really bright greens and blues, Emma. Love your site btw. Makes me long for a European adventure!

I love your cardigan as well. I’m always looking for ones that fit that way, so I guess I’ll be going to uniqlo tomorrow!

That dress is too cute and I love those tights! I really want to try out some brighter colours, but I always feel like they look better on other people :)

For starters, I don’t wear pants… like ever. So, tights are worth the investment during the colder months, but I really don’t spend top dollar on them as a rule. I worked for Anthropologie this past holiday season and bought the tights pictured above at a steep discount, for example. I recently stocked up on tights from Uniqlo and they were approx $5 a pair. Great deal! I’d say up to around $13 is still in the reasonable range for me, especially if the tights are a special color that will have a dynamic impact on my wardrobe. I find when I spend above that on tights, I’m too upset if I accidentally snag them on something… which tends to happen right away on those high-end tights!

Also, most of my accessories have a function beyond the ornamental. I’m allergic to most metals and costume jewelry, so I tend not to wear necklaces, earrings, etc beyond special occasions. So I almost never spend money on jewelry and usually opt for relatively inexpensive vintage brooches when I do. The necklaces above were less than $10 combined at Forever 21. I loved them because they looked like quality vintage to me and were SOOO cheap. Plus, I’m not allergic to plastic!

Ultimately, I focus on making a statement (and investment) with a dress and then my eyewear (which I, of course, need to see). I don’t break the bank on cardis, tights, and even shoes, especially impractical heels. The shoes above were a hand-me-down from my oft-mentioned friend, Gretchen, so they were FREE! Best price of all!

Probably more info than you wanted, but here’s a final thought: NEVER spend big money on a one size fits all pair of tights (unless you’re 5ft tall and less than 100 pounds perhaps). One size fits all is bologna! I’m not tall or above average weight-wise and they NEVER fit well. One size tights are a tease. They’re often adorable, but they’ll break your heart when they bust at the seams…
