Moody Style: Before the Chill

As I mentioned the other day, I was down in south Florida for several days where the weather was exceptionally warm.  Boy what a difference a few days makes.  By Thursday afternoon, I felt the winds pick up and the temperature drop each hour. I’m happy that the weather has finally gotten cooler again, so I can get some wear out of my sweaters and jackets.   Anyways, here’s a quick look at one of my outfits that I wore to work last week.   I also plan to post the winner of the contest by tomorrow night.  Thanks to everyone who participated.

Dress: Given Then Gathered Column Dress;

Fresh Picks to Follow – Monogram Mania

Don’t forget to enter for a chance to win a $50 gift card to either Anthropologie or J.Crew.  The giveaway ends today.  Enter for your chance to win here.

I’ve been obsessing over monograms ever since I gave my sister a really cute monogramed tote bag from Thirty-One.  I ended up ordering one for myself, but I ended up putting my blog name on it instead.  I’m sure that I will eventually get one with my initials on it very soon. I’ve also been thinking about getting myself one of the monogram necklaces like the one below from Bauble Bar.  I used to have a nameplate when I was younger, but I lost it many years ago.  I think that the monogramed necklace would be a nice replacement for it.  It seems like these days, you can have just about anything monogramed from running shorts, blankets, make up bags to pillow cases, bathrobes and of course jewelry. For this week’s Fresh Picks to Follow, here are my top 10 ways to monogram everything. What do you think about the monogram trend?  Do you have any favorite monogram pieces in your closet?  Let me know in the comments.
