Gray Matter

Today was sort of an off day for me, but at least I didn't have to walk home in the pouring rain thanks to my main girl.  

This is an outfit from last week I believe... I bought this dress from Target.com and when it arrived in the mail, I found the neckline to be too wide. I simply snipped a hole on the inside of the neckline and inserted thin elastic to cinch the neckline. I got the idea from Pinterest! 

If it is colder where you are, this dress would look cute with a denim jacket or vest over it and a beanie. Man, I wished I looked good in hats! ~ Enjoy!

Finally a change of scenery, haha ;)

Style Icon: Amelia Earhart

In honor of Women's History Month, here is a special style icon post!

When I think of Women's history, Amelia Earhart is one of the individuals that comes to mind. Her stardom expanded from the 1920s to the 1930s. She had a passion for aviation and was ready to take on anything to make her dreams come true- and she looked good while doing it!

AMELIA EARHART

Was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean,

Worked as a truck driver, photographer, stenographer,

Excelled at science in high school,

And had a unique image that will always be recognized.

I love this peter pan collar blouse with a bow tie outlined in black piping. Very classic & demure~ I just noticed that cat statue/ghost/thing in the background, haha!

Here she is sporting a stripey halter and a radiant smile.

Get the look!

Thank you, Amelia Earhart, for paving the way not only for women's aviation, but for women's history. You were very brave!
