Hi Dani!

Those outfits are fabulous, I loved the red dress!

I think that on the outfit of 5-19-09 there was too much going on, I would change the white t-shirt, but everything else was perfect!

Love your outfits, but my favorite was your red tunic and leggings- looks FAB on you. Wow.

Oh WOW, that Kensie red and black banded dress is absolutely stunning! In fact, I think it's my favorite of any outfit I've ever seen on you! Incredible!

You are really rocking those clams. Don't you love them? I am waiting for warmer weather here to really put mine into rotation.

Dani, so many wonderful looks! My personal favorite is the super preppy one (because I am super preppy at heart) - the argyle vest, white jeans combo.

You haven't let up on your style while you've been away. These are all fab, as usual!

Hi Dani,

I love all your outfits, especially the red and black dress with the leggings and the white clams with the pewter top. The pewter looks so great with the white. That's an adorable, short sleeved denim jacket!

Are the white clams Boden, also? Do you find that they fit true to size? I'm a size 6 and thinking of ordering a pair. Would I order a size 6?

Thanks for sharing your lovely outfits!

Fabulous outfits Dani! Every single outfit I have seen of you in the last few months have been lovely. I'm with the others - the red dress with leggings and glads is just terrific. I love how the Boden clams look on you.

Welcome back Dani. I'm so glad to hear things are going better for you. And fantastic that you are posting pictures again too!

- Those Boden clam diggers fit you to a T. It's such an easy way to put together a stylish casual outfit, isn't it.

- Oooh, the white ones are lovely too. I adore that Pewter shirt (is it sleeveless or short-sleeved?), and the jean jacket is fab!

- I love the red dress/turquoise neck combo. I think I'd prefer a shoe without a strap, but I understand that these were a good option for the playground.

- You have such gorgeous pale skin Dani, and the pale pink shirt emphasizes this even more. I also love that stripey detail on your shoes;-)

- Well, here I was, struggling with the whole tunic/dress over leggings look, while you were sporting them with style and confidence without us even knowing about it!!-) LOVE it! That dress is amazing! (and that's another fab denim jacket).

- Smiling about the lovely detailing on that cropped cardi (have you tried wearing it unbuttoned yet Dani? or maybe with the top button unbuttoned?)

Thanks for posting! I'm taking notes here!

Glad that home life has settled, Dani. Good to see you post again!

As always, you look fabulous. There is nothing left to say other than that you score KILLER for the week! Nice haircut :0)

Great outfits! I really like the red dress and the tunic over leggings in particular. And you know how we're footwear twins - I think I have the same pair of black mary janes. I had them for many years. Clarks, right? :)
Glad to hear things got better and more manageable, hope to see you here more!

It's so good to see you again, Dani! I'm glad to hear things improved at home, too.

I especially like the banded dress and leggings - smashing!!! You look excellent in clamdiggers, too. I also like how you paired the argyle vest with the pink shirt.

Dani! Glad to hear that things are falling into place for you. As for your outfits - well I just love them! Special mentions go to your awesome clams (B+W), SS denim jacket and the red dress!

Dani, your outfits are always so refreshing and sparkling. I too love the tunic and leggings but really you make it all look so easy. I hope you had a great vacation and I'm glad to hear things are looking better at home.

What spectacular outfits!! So refined and stylish. You have such a graceful style. My favorites are the turquoise and white cropped cardi and the red dress!!
Thank you, love to see your posts!

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I've been following the blog and reading the forum as I had the chance so I thought giving leggings a try would be fun. I'm glad to know that the look was well received!

I'm really loving the Boden clams (the denim pair). The white pair are some that I altered last year from longer capris. I tried the Boden white ones but they were more cream and I really prefer a brighter white.

Debora, Boden has a fantastic feature on its site that gives the measurements of each of the garments. The best bet is to measure an item you have that fits you and compare the measurements to the Boden item. That being said, I ordered my regular size (Boden is UK sizing).

Marianne, we are indeed footwear twins...they are Clarks! Very good eye! I find I don't wear them very often even though they're comfy because black tends to look to jarring on my feet sometimes.

Thanks for all the responses! I've really missed the forum and all the support here!

The whole week is great, but I really adore the leggings look. You look fantastic! I want to run out and find a dress like that to wear with leggings!

Very nice outfits, I like the red top with the leggings looks great on you!

Dani, you look great! I'm happy you're posting photos again. I love the red dress outfit, and also the turquoise cardi. All the outfits look nice though. You look happy in your photos, too, which makes me very happy. I'm glad things are getting back to normal for you! :D

You are one stylish SAHM, Dani! I love how you've used white to "summerize" outfits, as Angie posted about recently. Where is your signature orange/turquoise, though?? :-)

Becky, the orange and turquoise will be out in full swing soon :P
