I love tee shirts.

Have I mentioned this before?

A few months ago, as I was shopping my closet for another blog photo, I was completely astonished by the amount of tee shirts I have.

Graphic tees. Solid tees. Short sleeved. Long sleeved. Plain tees. Embellished tees. Neutral tones. Brightly colored. Designer tees. Off the rack.

You name it, I own it.

So it has been my mission to upgrade my tee shirt driven wardrobe. I have pushed past my fear of button down blouses (a fear many busty girls have - FYI : camisoles are your friend!) and I can proudly say that my closet is (slowly) being consumed by beautiful blouses.

I picked up this Nicole by Nicole Miller sleeveless button down at JC Penney (it's beautiful, form fitting AND was on sale...what's not to love?) and I knew immediately that I could wear it separate, with a blazer or with this fierce suede Elie Tahari for Designation black moto jacket.

Since another staple in my wardrobe is a skinny jean, this top was a perfect match. I love the low seam in the back of the top and how it falls from the back of the cropped jacket. The flow of the top balanced out the tightness of the jeans.

Next was my favorite part of dressing, my shoes, and picking out which worked best. I wanted a neutral heel, something simple, so I went with my Guess pumps. Every woman needs to have a pair of black patent leather pumps in her wardrobe (with whatever heel height makes her feel comfortable - most of my heels are 4 to 5 inch heels) that you can pair with a dress, slacks or jeans.

So I looked in the mirror, and felt this outfit was missing something. Another accessory, of course! I added my chartreuse BCBG box crossbody bag for fun and I was out the door.

Happy New Year everyone! I love that word: New.

New experiences. New people to meet. New places to visit. New items in my closet....okay, maybe I'm going too far.

My New Year started with a trip out of state with the love of my life. So I've already checked off the new experiences, new people to meet and new places to visit right off the bat! Now, all I have to do is shop for new items for my closet...oh wait, am I off track again?

The New Year is exciting. I am open to new opportunities and where they lead me. I'm open to trying new things and push myself even more in life and business. I want this year to bring me loads and loads of happiness and well being. I would like to be more carefree and daring. I want to have fun. Plenty of fun.

This LC Lauren Conrad skirt is fun. I have been eyeing this at Kohl's for months now. It came in navy as well, but this shade of pink is to die for. So, I finally bought it (on sale - I love a new sale). The hi-low hem and the beautiful satin fabric are playful and feminine. The flow of this skirt is amazing. I didn't want to wait till Spring or Summer to wear it. So I opened up my closet and thought "Just throw on a warm black sweater and over the knee boots and you're good!"

And so I did. I love this new outfit. Though the boots could have toughened up the skirt, they played off the simple black sweater nicely. Add some new accessories like these great Forever 21 rings and bangles and this GORGEOUS Simply Vera multi-chain statement necklace and what you have is a new outfit that is eye catching, beautiful and absolutely carefree.

What better way to start off the New Year!
