You NYE outfit is killer! You also have a great eye for statement necklaces, I love all the necklaces that you're wearing in these pictures.
I saw that coat Old Navy and really wanted to buy one but it didn't seem warm enough for our really cold winters. I hope you enjoy wearing it, it looks very cute on you.

Great outfits and combinations as usual Shell. My fav is your first outfit though they're all gorgeous. Nice mixer :-)

Fabulous outfits shell! You wear those colors so well.

You look wonderful as always Shell. I especially like the NYE outfit. Gorgeous!

Great outfits, I really like the green old navy coat, such an unusual color.
New Years Eve is spectacular, you look like you are having such fun wearing your outfit!
I envy you those shoes, are they comfortable to walk in?

Shell: You wear green beautifully. I also like the way you change up your hair styles and think you look great in glasses. New Year's outfit is my fav!

Great pictures Shell. It's so nice to have you back. I love the way you mix it up with your hair styles. I never do that but always admire others who do.
Your New Years Eve outfit is just so glamerous. It has a retro vibe to me.
The picture with your mixer is great. Cute outfit and you look like you've just given that mixer a workout. I got one last year and love it.
The next picture with your green sweater and converse is also so cute and reflects your fun personality.
I love the burgundy sweater with the ruffle poking out, and your new dark wash denim jeans are really adding to all of your outfits, IMO.
Your new green coat and new scarf, so cute. I also like your hair pulled to the side and your new glasses.
You just always look happy and your style reflects it.

You have a great sense of style and color. I like all the outfits and especially like the green coat and the scarf and mittens.

Oooh is that a Kitchen Aid mixer Shell? I love them! And it's pink;-)))

Those are super outfits again. I think the one with your burguny sweater and the blue ruffly blouse stood out to me most. It's unexpected (well, I would never have thought of that;-) how you've combined the two colours and textures. You really have a knack for coming up with interesting combinations that work for you!

The green coat is amazing too!

It's a toss up between the outfit with the dress and the outfit with the burgundy sweater and blue ruffles for favorite. I love them all, and your green coat is so cheerful and unique!

Hooray, a mixer--and it's pink, your favorite color! :D How are wedding plans coming?

thank you all for your feedback!

bella - i'm actually in wisconsin and it's been pretty cold and snowy. but the jacket has kept me pretty warm. usually it's my arms/head/feet that get the coldest - my core stays pretty warm - so the jacket is perfect. not that i don't pull out my big carhardt jacket when it gets really cold and windy!

Greenglove - the shoes are not fabulous walking shoes - probably 2 hr shoes at most. but they are cute :)

Inge - yes it is a kitchenaid! steve was adamant about us someday having a kitchenaid, and i of course requested it be pink! he ended up getting it for me a bit earlier than expected!

Ana - the wedding plans are going well, thanks for asking. we are still looking for reception halls - we have a few good options so far. the practice dress im making is pretty much done - now i just have to save up some money to buy the official fabric... :)

I really enjoy your pics too. I especially was drawn to your NYE outfit and the blue ruffly blouse one. So Cute!

I love your pink mixer! I couldn't bake without my Kitchenaid-I wouldn't know how many batches of cookies mine has mixed up!

You are fabulous! Love the outfits and you look killer in emerald green. I have to say that your pink mixer is your best accessory in these pics. Only YOU would have one. Love it!

I adore the color combo in the last one, Shell. The blue ruffled blouse with that sweater has me thinking about trying something similar with what I have.

Fun and beautiful! I love it when you post, Shell. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely outfits! The green coat is wonderful on you, and I love your New Year's Eve outfit. Did you go dancing?

Cute outfits! I love your New Year's Eve outfit - the skirt is fab! The green jacket is great too, what a fun color to wear on drab winter days.
