I don’t normally wear lot of bling in the daytime, but today is Rule Breaking Monday, so all bets are off. I’m a big lover of all things girlie — lace, flowers, criss-cross tights, and of course, bling. I wore outfit while running errands and it was like I was having my own little party in my world. I’m thinking daytime bling is going to be the next big thing. Thank you JBreezyBaby for gifting me this wonderful piece of sparkle as my Secret Santa present!
Also, I’m finally getting into the flower pin trend. I tried it previously and really loved the result. Somehow in my morning rush to get dressed, I oftentimes overlook this little accessory, but I’ve since moved them to a more prominent location in my closet in the hopes that I’ll remember these little gems. Thank you Annie for gifting these to me!
And last but not least, I actually purchased this dress through Elle at the end of last year as I was lamenting about not having an H&M in Texas. I never thought that she would actually go to the store to pick up this dress up for me, but I am forever thankful she did! It’s absolutely lovely. Can you believe the never-ending kindness of my blogger friends? I’m so lucky to have you guys!!

I think this is one of my favorite looks on you (I also loved the black leather jacket/black pant look on you, A LOT!). Those criss-cross tights are awesome! I am very envious of your outfit. I can also relate to missing stuff in the morning. It's quite unnerving sometimes. I hope you have a fantastic week!
Cheers,
Bre
Tiffany says
OMG, these boots are fierce!!! Loving the whole outfit!!
Melissa says
I love, love, LOVE those tights! Love them! The contrast between the light dress and the dark tights/jacket is super cute. You look fantastic, as always!
Pixie in Pumps says
I am such a fan of all the textures in this outfit! It's gorgeous. That's so cool that she bought that dress for you so you wouldn't miss out. I did that for a friend of mine when all her targets were sold out of the certain tucker for target dress she really wanted.

Bling in the daytime is a fabulous rule to break. May just have to give it a whirl.

You weren't kidding about it being made possible by your blogger friends. I think when your clothes have meaning behind them it's make them special to wear. The clothes from family members, and friends are always a little more fun to wear.

Kaleido Mind says
gorgeous!!! those tights add just the right amount of "edge" to the look;)
AubreyOhDang! says
Kileen:
This outfit…it's definitely interesting to say the least. I would compare it to a mullet.
Let me explain:
You got the tweed w/the pink flower pin and the lace and the pearls. You're ready for brunch w/the ladies! (aka "business in the front.")
But then below, you paired this classy ensemble the black criss-cross tights (a la rihanna) and edgy 1/2-patent platform booties and a clutch that is more appropriate for evening-wear. (aka "party in the back.")
Well…needless to say…we all know the story of the mullet. That cut turned out to be the laughing stock of all hair trends.
Trust me girl, I love your sophisticated looks. I even loved your rocker chic look a couple of days ago, but combine them all together? It's a fashion faux pas.
My advice: Less is More.
Tara says
Those tights are awesome! And I really like the lace dress…I wish I could find one as cute!
Michelle says
Gorgeous! What great pieces! 🙂
And doesn't the outfit feel that much more special when you wear it?
Collette Osuna says
You already KNOW what Im going to say, lol….tights….yes, yes…love them…and how cute it that pin?? Im all about brooches…and you wear this one fabulously!!! Super great outfit sweets!!

How come I can never find anything cute from H&M like your creamy floral dress!?! WHY WHY WHY!
Just Better Together
Vicky says
Love this outfit, Kileen. I know I have seen this jacket before on you, but this is my favorite combo, with the lace dress. How nice of Elle to get that dress for you! Oh I love the flower pin. So pretty! Yes, I love this blogger community. It's "never-ending kindness" as you put it. 🙂
Ashley J says
Wow, sexy momma in this outfit!
Angela says
The flower pin just makes this outfit! It's so pretty, but the flower just adds the extra oomf. 🙂 I also like your skinny belt… the red was such a great choice!

hurricanekerrie says
I love that dress! And your stockings are just…arresting! Love it. I, too, actually like flower pins and all sorts of brooches but I never really remember to put them on (or look for them) unless I planned to used them way in advance. I think I should move them to a more prominent location, as well…
Sara K.S. Hanks says
I love your dress, but I think I love the story behind it even more! There aren't any H&M locations in my neck of the woods either. Maybe we should start a network of blogger-friends, where those who have an H&M can shop on behalf of those of us who aren't so lucky? … Maybe? =) That would be seriously sweet. Let's launch it!
Ashley says
You look STUNNING! I love the little flower pin…adds such happiness and whimsy to the outfit. And the tights are AMAZING!
Katie says
Just found your blog via Love, Ramsey. Loving the fit! Those tights are awesome. I think you have just inspired me to buy a pair. Following!
