cloudy with a chance of magenta

The weather in the Big D continues to be abysmal... luckily the blacks and grays in your closet are easily spiced up with flirty bow details and a pop of pink, ensuring that your business attire doesn't match the dreary view from outside!

I've never thought of myself as a bow kinda-girl but it appears my shopping habits are proving prior perceptions wrong!  The cardigan is one of my favorites from J.Crew's '08 winter catalog and I scored the flats during Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale for $15!  At that price, I went ahead and scooped them up in dark plum as well.
