Some Marl-y Weather ... Plus Discount Codes

I've got this bad habit of buying something and then sitting on it for weeks, sometimes months, before digging in and actually wearing the item. I have no idea why - maybe I subconsciously wait for that imaginary "perfect" occassion where I can formally debut my new finds. (I know, kind of cuckoo ...)

So granted it is still technically winter, as I finally broke out the marled wool cardigan from J. Crew. I got this back in November? October? for full price and even paid shipping for it, but never found a right time to wear it - too hot and bulky to wear under a jacket and not warm enough to wear on its own when it's actually cold. Plus for a shorty like me, I need to wear it with heels. So blah, blah, blah, I figured I better wear it before it's summer.

Ugh, my jean legs look funny.

Here's my sad attempt at a Gingersnap photo flourish.

Cardigan: J. Crew marled wool cardigan
Tee: Target tisue tee
Jeans: Levi's 545
Shoes: Nine West Temani wedges
Necklace: Laila Rowe

Isn't it the Perfect Time for Some Sun Dresses?

Delia's to me has always seemed like the fashion equivalent to the Twilight book series. It's geared towards teens and tweens, but there is a draw to the more adult of us (adult in age only, though, honeys). What I love about Delia's is that they've got affordable prices, colorful attire, and on-trend pieces that are wearable (just enough embellishments and dresses that actually hit below mid-thigh) and fairly well made. No, they don't have Edward, but he's spoken for.

And though it is still fricking freezing here in the ATL, it's starting to thaw out this week (just a little) and that's got me looking through Delia's assortment of sweet spring dresses that make me think of warm, lazy Sunday afternoons walking along the park with your BF while your softly curled hair blows gently in the breeze ... ah Estee Lauder Pleasures commercial it is indeed ...

FYI, until January 26, Delia's is offering free shipping for orders over $25 with code DAAW25. Otherwise they have a standard free shipping offer for orders over $75 with code DAA until April.
