Well hello there my friends... er, Jen's friends. I'm Amanda from A.Co est. 1984 and pretty pumped to be filling in for Jen while she's off frolicking in conference land (well, probably not frolicking, more like sitting, listening, tweeting... Hey! No tweeting during the conference, pay attention now...). Regardless, Jen, thanks for having me, and to all her fabulous readers: hello.

So can we just talk about how posh I feel saying I'm wearing Gucci sunglasses in my outfit rundown.  Gucci sunglasses.  Look who's ballin' now.  Look Ma, Gucci!  (Okay, that's irrelevant; my mother has no idea what Gucci is... she certainly had no idea who Louis Vuitton was when I brought home a knock-off ...).  No but really, I'm not one who owns many designer items (one pair of Louboutins, a gifted Coach wallet, and a few others), so it's pretty exciting.  These were a gift from hubs for Christmas, so don't go around thinking I purchase these expensive things for myself, thankyouverymuch.  Just kidding, I would if I could, but I try to stretch my money as far as it can go so every once in a while I have to give away five bags of clothes (just kidding again, I consigned two of those bags).

 

Once again, it's the skirt/dress-under-the-dress trick

 

And before I got undressed to snap the outfit, here's the look (it is March after all... and still cold).
