So, if you haven't noticed, fur scarves are my biggest obsession this season. Like the big fluffy wonder in my last post, I also got this fur scarf for a steal: $10 on clearance. And look, I'm staying true to my word and actually AM wearing more colored tights! Weird. I decided to keep the rest of my accessories pretty low key...I forgot to get a close-up, but my earrings are simple red hearts that are so not my style, but still pretty suh-weet. So far, this year has been all about trying new things.
Got some bad news yesterday that is really going to shake things up for the next couple of months: my momma has to have a pretty B.A. surgery on her back, complete with metal plates and bone grafting and a 25% chance of death. Yeah. If everything goes perfectly, she still can't do any form of activity except sit at home on the couch for 6-8 weeks, so only-child Ashley takes on yet another set of roles: friendly caregiver, household manager, and personal chef. I begrudgingly clean toilets, too.

Love the tights and the clutch! I have the same colored tights and just wore them yesterday! Today was way too cold though, at least it is down here in the Cities, I imagine it has to be up north too!
ReplyDeleteOh and as a fellow only child, I feel your pain. And I hope all goes well for your mom.
Firstly, I hope you're Mum's surgery goes well and everything after too! Secondly, see you can totally rock coloured tights! Love this outfit :)

I hope your mom's surgery goes well, and that the recovery will be a smooth one!
ReplyDeleteAnd love how you're wearing the colored tights :)
I love this dress on you. The scarf and tights are pretty great too. Love the clutch.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your Momma's surgery, Miss Ashley. I wish I could come and help you take care of her. We've got to move closer to one another so you don't have to do everything. Although, I know you can handle it. You are such a strong and capable woman.
xo,

that dress is a beauty and the tights go so well with it. Glad you decided to keep on truckin with the colored tights. I hope everything goes well with your mom's surgery. I am sure you will be the best bedside buddy ever.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your mom, i wish that everything will go great and she will be fine.
ReplyDeleteas for your outfit although its not my style i really like the quality of your pictures, not only the background but the quality of the picture itself.
i read your faq part and read what kind of lens you are using and i am so jealous of you cause your cam rocks it.
and this is one of the reasons i am now following you-good pic quality.
step by my blog and check it out if you want.

So sorry to hear about your mom. Hoping for a speedy recovery and that she's feeling top notch in no time.
ReplyDeleteIs it to trite to now add that I love this winter white lace with the burnt orange tights? that clutch is great, too.
Fur scarves are amazing. Love it with the dress. Praying for your mom!
ReplyDeleteSoo gorgeous with that dress!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Ashley! I'll be praying for you and your mom! I hope everything goes well and she recovers quickly! **hugs** By the way, you look great in colored tights. And your dress is beautiful.

very sorry to hear about your Mom. I hope she'll be OK. I know you'll manage everything, you're Ashley, the super girl :)
ReplyDeleteby the way, I while staring at those photos I was thinking what I loved more - cute dress or lovely little bag. I decided to give the 1st place to the dress as bag looks very small. Does it fit the necessary stuff?

ReplyDeleteYou look so sweet in that white dress. There's just something about lacy white dresses that exude innocence to me.
Sorry to hear this Ashley. I hope your mom's surgery goes well. I'll say a prayer for her. Keep us posted, okay?
ReplyDeleteOn a brighter note, this dress is gorgeous on you.

So sorry to hear about your mom. If you need any help -- of any kind -- ask me. I'm always here for you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your mom. That's some scary stuff. It is hard to take on the role of the woman-of-the-house when the mother is out of commission. My mom has been sick with pneumonia for the past week, so I had a taste of that. It is nothing compared to what you will be experiencing, though. If you need anything (even if it is someone to bitch to), let me know! :)
