Sweater tights.
Soooooooo warm. I’m in love.
This doesn’t really have a lot to do with dressing on a dime, I just thought I would point out that sweater tights are the bomb.
Except that 4 years ago, I never would have worn this. The outfit wouldn’t have even occurred to me, to say nothing of the fact that I wouldn’t have had the guts to stroll into church wearing (not only) a purple cardigan, and pencil skirt, but also purple sweater tights.
Hi, I’m Cori. I like purple.
Tip: Be Bold.
As you build your wardrobe, remind yourself to branch out. Don’t be a scaredy-cat with your closet. Try new things, wear something a little bit “scary” for you. Don’t be afraid to go bold. What’s the worst that can happen? Somebody doesn’t like your outfit?
Meh, who cares.
It’s better to fail trying than never try at all.
“Be who you are and say [or wear] what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”
-Dr. Suess.
In other news, I’m winging my way south this afternoon to the land of the sun. Time to check on the AZ house, make sure all is in order, the lawn is getting mowed, nothing is broken/leaking/etc. and other such grown up type things.
Which always make me feel like an impostor. I think I’ve mentioned this before?
Say a little prayer that my family is safe in my absence.
I hate being away from Mr. and the littles.
Now show me how you got dressed on a dime and link up below!!!

I’ve just discovered the magic of purple + red, and you pull it off beautifully. Love the price too! :)
Thanks for the reminder about being bold. I always “save” outfits until I have a special occasion/place to wear them but this reminds me to be bold with everyday outfits. :)
Ah!! I need some sweater tights!! you look so cute as always!!
Love that quote! & purple is my fav too :)

You’ve inspired me to change my wardrobe in so many ways. I was the one spending $200-$300 every shopping trip to Buckle. Now I’m so frugal with my money. I go to Goodwill about once a week, and end up spending less than $20 each time. Thank you Cori for inspiring everyone to be bold :). You’re awesome!

Your outfits are so inspirational! Purple is my favorite color so I especially love this outfit. You look great, as always :)
I really really love your purple skirt. Don’t worry. I’ll look in on your little family for you if you wish. Just make sure you come home to us. Don’t enjoy that sunshine to much!!
Love the pic where you are looking down and your hair is flying! Gorgeous!
Sweater tights are da bomb. I wore mine yesterday. They are warm and lovely.
You look absolutely stunning – purple is a great color on you! And I love that you aren’t afraid to be bold. Taking a risk like that really pays off sometimes!
Great tip! I totally agree with you, just be bold and do it, all though I’ve come quite a long way, sometimes I have to remind myself to just give the outfit a try when I’m unsure! Love the ruffly blouse, gorgeous!

I found you on pinterest and I love your style! I am a Loft girl and I just love how you piece your outfits together. I wore mustard colored tights yesterday to work and had a few, “Wow, those are some yellow tights!” (not in a good way) and I said, “Yep. They sure are!” Felt great to step outside of my comfort zone. Thanks for inspiration!
Beautiful colors! You are such a lovely girl! xoxoxoo
love the colours!
