Hi dolls!
Happy Sunday! How was your weekend!? We had a very easy-going one! Those are so nice every once and a while! We (finally) had time to take down Christmas decorations, spend time with family, and we took a ton of blog pics (thanks to my amazing fiancé! He is going to make the best blogger hubby ever, lol). It snowed a little bit Friday night, but melted quickly when the sun came back out on Saturday morning. However, the temps were literally in the 20's all weekend long! Talk about chiiiilllyyyy.
The look I'm wearing above features some of my favorite "winter staples." First of all, a chunky cable knit turtleneck is a must-have for your winter wardrobe. They are essential in my book for super cold days (enter: this weekend's 20 degree temps!). I bought this one at Old Navy (which my exact one is not currently online, but I linked a similar one above that I love!).
Next on the list, a nice, not-so-basic jacket with pretty details! The one I'm wearing above is by Free People and I am obsessed! It has zippers on the sleeves which not only adds some interest to the look, but it also is practical because...hello, has anyone else had the problem of a jacket fitting snug over a thick sweater?! Un-zip the sleeves a little bit, and it's way more comfortable because it gives your thick sweater sleeves a little room to breathe!
Scarves, scarves, and more scarves. Yes I know I blog about scarves A LOT, but it is because they are seriously an essential to my every day look during the winter months. They are the perfect way to stay warm, but added bonus: it can make a sweater you have worn a million times look like a brand new outfit. I firmly believe in the power of accessories!!! They are total game-changers & outfit remixers, ladies (& gents)!
A pair of warm boots are a winter must-have. Yes Uggs have definitely had their "moment" but no matter where you look, stores still sell them & there's a VERY good reason. They are seriously the warmest things you will ever put on your feet! I have around 8 pairs of different kind of Ugg boots, but I have to admit...these sequin ones are some of my faves! They are on sale where I linked them under my picture, so check them out! These definitely run true-to-size and are perfect for the cold temps. Your feet will thank you!
Last, but definitely not least on my list, is a winter hat. The pom pom beanie is one of my favorites. They provide warmth, and, BONUS: they cover up a bad hair day too, haha! There are soooo many cute ones in stores now & they are relatively inexpensive, so it's an easy way to once again remix an outfit. I love color coordinating my scarf & beanie as I did in my #ootd above.
What are your fave winter staples!? Leave me a comment below and let me know! Or, find me over on Instagram HERE and tag me in your winter outfits!
As always, I appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to read my blog. Love y'all!!!
XOXO

Oversized Sweaters: Comfy, Cozy, CUTE!

Happy Halloween, gorgeous readers!!! I hope y'all had an amazing weekend! So I know I have said before that blanket scarves are part of my fall uniform. Well, I'm here to tell you that oversized sweaters are right up there with blanket scarves on my fall obsession list. Oversized sweaters have it ALL: comfy, cozy, & CUTE (the 3 c's if you will, lol). Sometimes with fashion, I feel like you have to pick between comfort and style (i.e. 6 inch heels aren't the most comfortable); however, this is totally not the case with oversized sweaters which is one of the reasons I love them! Also as the temps drop, these are super cozy & warm--yet another practical reason to love oversized sweater. So why not get the best of both worlds & even pair an oversized sweater with a blanket scarf when the temps drop more?! Plus, these are long enough that you can wear them with tights...another major positive in my book (of fashion lol).
Also some of my new favorite shoes are these Converse sneakers I just bought from DSW. This white/blue/red combo has been EVERYWHERE this past summer & fall. I'll be honest, I have never bought a pair of Converses before, but as soon as I tried these on, I had to have them (along with another adorable pair, which I will feature soon!). My 2 older brothers always wore Converses while I was growing up and I always thought they were pretty dang cool, so I feel like my cool factor goes up a couple of notches in these shoes ;) And, needless to say, they go with literally EVERYTHING. I love to make a dress more casual by adding some sneakers or "showing them off" if you will by rolling up my jeans as I did in my OOTD above. So many ways to style them! And, bonus, my version above is the "slip on" style so you don't have to worry about tying your shoes (lol...yes I have been known to trip over my untied shoes before. This totally eliminates the problem! Is that embarassing I admitted that??? Anyone else?? haha.....).
So what do y'all think of the oversized sweater trend?!
Also, what are y'all doing for Halloween? I'm currently in Nashville for school, so I wasn't able to spend it with my fiancé, Dad & precious nephews like normal. It made me reminisce on Halloween pasts, so I thought I would share some of my fave looks from Halloween over the years!:
Top Left: Little Red Riding Hood & her handsome Huntsman
Bottom Left: Audrey Hepburn a la Breakfast @ Tiffany's!
Top right: Minnie Mouse & Captain America (my sweet little nephew)
Bottom left: Princess & Batman with Iron Man (my precious nephews again!)
Finally, center picture: Me as a little girl (Cinderella) with my first Prince Charming, my Daddy!
Thank you so so much for reading dolls, as always I appreciate you all taking the time to read!! :)
Happy Halloween and have a great evening!
XOXO

Hi lovely readers!
Hope y'all are having a great week! So the look below is one of my favorite outfits lately. I love wearing a longer sweater with tights, my riding boots and a statement necklace. It's so comfortable and perfect for going to class and running around town!! Forever 21 happens to have some great basic sweaters in some really pretty colors. And of course, no outfit is complete without a statement necklace. It always adds just the right amount of personality. I especially love the flower statement necklace I'm wearing in the pictures below! The flowers make me so excited for spring!!! So, on to the pictures! (Also, I know I have 3 different hairstyles in these pics...I just couldn't decide on one, haha!)
