Cheers to almost-Friday, friends! Y’all absolutely blew me away with your response to our One Room Challenge reveal yesterday! I knew we loved the room like crazy, but it’s always a little nerve-racking putting yourself out there…especially when your aesthetic isn’t exactly mainstream!
I’ve read every single comment and email on both the blog and social media, and haven’t stopped grinning since. So thank you! Thank you for your kind words and sharing our enthusiasm. I only wish I could have you all over for dinner in our new Dining Room! Takeout tacos, of course. 😉
Mr. SP has a business trip today, and I sweet-talked him into letting me tag along since it’s my birthday this weekend, so I thought I’d put my next installment of Dressing Room Diaries up a day early.
Dressing Room Diaries is where I hunt down some of the cutest new arrivals from my favorite retailers, and review them for you. You know the drill…the shots aren’t good, the lighting is bad (especially now with the time change!), my hair is usually past it’s expiration, and many of the items aren’t a good fit for me…but it’s real life, real girl, real clothes…and hopefully helpful for you to see them this way, instead of perfectly styled on a model.
Fit Note: I’m 5’4″-ish, 120 pounds-ish, with a slight pear shape. My usual size is an XS/0.
Might as well start with one of my favorite finds…this sweater had me at pink ruffles. But somehow, it’s just the right amount of sweet, without it looking like I stole my daughter’s clothes. I especially love it paired with these plumy/cranberry booties! In fact, I’m so smitten with both, I’m doing a whole post around them soon!
Fit Tip: Topshop is a European company and runs a tad small, so I always size up to a US4. The booties are true to size, and crazy comfy thanks to the wedge heel.















Fit Tip: Oversized fit, I’m wearing an XS.

















Mr. SP accompanied me to the mall for ‘a quick return’…but of course a few things caught my eye. 😉 This plaid would be cute for holidays, and the cotton flannel is super soft.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small in this pic for a relaxed fit, but my usual size works, too.




I never intend for these posts to be so long, but once I get started, I have a hard time narrowing down which pieces to share with y’all!

SO MUCH GOOD STUFF, but the ribbed sweater dress on you is definitely my favorite!!!! It fits you perfectly! I also loved that first lace dress on you!
Cassie, this is one of my favorite lists to date. You make everything look good! So many items I would have passed over just seeing them on a website, but you SELL them. 🙂 I've bought several of the pieces you've modeling like the the Wit & Wisdom stretch jeans (BEST jeans ever!) & the rug in your living room. Are the cute Lucky booties you're wearing the 'beet suede' color? Cause…errr…I gotta get those!
Thanks so much, Sandy! Yes, my wedge booties are the beet color. I'm crazy about these boots!! They are so comfy, but give me some added height, too! I just told Mr. SP I wanted another color for my bday! #oops 🙂
It's your bday…therefore, you are allowed! Mine is next week so I think I'll join you in this. Never would have thought much of this color until I saw them on you. Glad to hear they are comfy too – very importante!!
So much cute things and you look terrific in them all. I adore that pink ruffle sweater!! Enjoy your birthday weekend. I have a November birthday too. Great time of year!
I need to get some plum booties! Have fun on your trip!
So many great finds, but I LOVE those PJs!!
I think Mr. SP was your dressing room photo bomber. Too funny!
Have a fun trip! It's so nice to get a break, however short. And, an early Happy Birthday wish.🎂
Miss Cross-Paws is adorable. More doggy photo bombs, please!!
This is always my most favorite post to see. Your certainly make all the clothes look good. Now if I could just borrow your body 🙁 Wish more items were on sale though. Thanks and enjoy your get-away.
