Marianne: Contest Entry

See Hats In The Belfry contest details here.

I tried and tried to put together an outfit with one of Belfry's adorable winter hats, of which there are many, but I am dreaming of warm weather. More specifically, I'm dreaming of my family's condo in Naples, Florida. So instead, I decided to pick one of their men's hats (the adorable Panama Downturn Fedora), and use that as a jumping off point.

I would put my hair in braids, top with the hat, and pull on this dress as a bathingsuit coverup. This would be perfect for walking down to the Naples Beach Club for a pina colada at sunset.
Underneath the cover up, my favorite retro-inspired swimsuit:
And since this is a fantasy, I'd have these perfect nude clog sandals on. Sigh. Dreamy.
Add a fun bright bag to hold my book, sunscreen, and keys:

And I'm set. Oh man. It's 13 degrees here and snowing. I could cry.

Marianne: Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

You guys all read Girls Gone Child already, right? I mean, who doesn't? I've been reading Rebecca Woolf's writing since I starting THINKING about getting pregnant, and she's inspiring in about 1700 different ways. So this is probably old news for you already, but I am pretty dang excited: I won this week's Good Wears giveaway! Meaning that I get a free pair of these sweet Minnetonka Moccasin Boots:

Meaning that the high pitched squeal you hear right now? That would be my inner 9-year-old girl. See, the second Lulu got these sweet pink moccasin boots I was reminded about how badly I wanted some when I was a wee thing. And now I'm getting some! IS THIS MAGIC I THINK SO.

Sorry, I had coffee today. Lots.

Anyway, I want to hear how you would style these fun boots! I am currently obsessed with jeggings, so I'm thinking slouchy over-knee socks, jeggings, and a cozy sweater. You know, basically my new uniform. You??
