It’s been raining for weeks in Dallas. My plants have never looked better but all this rain is making me feel a little glum. I need crisp, sunny fall days to brighten my spirits (a new sweater, leaves turning, my favorite soup recipes…sigh) but I think they’re still weeks away. You know what’s helping to cheer me up on so many grey days? Adding a few special somethings to my closet. It’s cliche but true: when you look good, you feel good. I always feel my best wearing one standout piece and keeping everything else fairly simple. Whether it’s the perfect red lipstick (try this one and only buy the refill to save a few – PERFECTION) or killer statement earrings, we need the special somethings to jazz up the old faithfuls in our closet. Here are a few special somethings I’ve been eyeing, I hope they bring a smile to your face like they do mine!
