When I signed into my blog today I stared at my dashboard in disbelief.... my little blog surpassed the 200 followers mark over the weekend- woot woot! When I started my blog I only told my immediate family and a few friends about my new hobby but now, a year and a bit later, I'm delighted to share my outfits, ramblings and personality with new friends on a regular basis.  Thank you to my readers, you are appreciated, each and every one of you! 

Now on to the outfit...
I never wear sneakers , preferring the sexiness of heels or the chic comfort of flats but when I saw these purple Denver Hayes sneakers at Value Village for $4.99 I just knew I had to have them.  Saturday was my first day wearing them so I decided to plan my outfit around the sneakers.  I went for a casual weekend look, perfect for a late breakfast and trolling through the antique market.


This is one of my favourite statement necklaces-I'm linking up to Tammy's Trending Through the Decades:Accessories edition.


Casual is all fine and dandy but I'm more of a dress-up kind of gal so I didn't stay in this outfit all day.  I changed into this delicate dress for date night at my favourite Greek restaurant!

  6. Aw, I couldn't get the link for your dress to load :( I'm sure you looked beautiful anyway!

    And everyone needs fun runners for those times when you just have to wear runners! Every few summers I strain the arch of my left foot, and so I'm sneaker and flats bound for a week, and it reminds me why I love red sneakers, and argyle sneakers, and sparkly ballet flats!

  21. Woot-Woot My little fashionista sister! You are a silly goose to change your link up. I love those bright blue shoes! But I do love the bling that you brought to the link up.
    Sneakers,,,,,,,hard for me, but they are so cute. Little socks with lace has your name all over it. Always remember, rock it while you are young!
    Have a good spa day! I'm spending my weekend cleaning carpets! Oh, the life of a fashionista!
