Spaghetti and Meatballs









Cardigan: Gap outlet; Dress: Gap (on sale now!); Scarf: H&M; Shoes: JC Penney

We're headed out to a friend's house for dinner tonight, of, you guessed it, spaghetti and meatballs. I've also officially hit the "I am done with winter and covering my legs with tights" stage of winter. I wore a skirt to work today without tights and nearly froze my legs off. I am considering adding a layer to this outfit before leaving in twenty minutes just so that I can keep my knees from turning into ice.

I love this simple sheath dress from the Gap in cobalt - it's on sale right now online for $29.99 in grey and is super flattering. It also goes with anything - waist belts, heels, boots, flats, tights, sweaters, you name it. I'm all for versatility in clothes now that I have the blog. In trying not to wear the same outfit twice, I look for pieces that can be remixed.  

Hope you all have a great night!

    There's pretty much nothing better than spaghetti and meatballs, I'm convinced. By the way, your skin is gorgeous!

    Okay are you in my mind? Because I was craving spaghetti and meatballs earlier tonight AND I have given up on tights and wore a skirt to work and froze. Glad someone else is on my page!
