Sew Cute

For a cold fall day I decided to bust out my favorite J Crew pants. This pant is called the Skimmer pant and I am in love! I have a few prints and they are great to dress up or down. They are a more mature piece but I like how they have bold and fun prints. I paired my printed pants with a classic blue oxford. An unexpected color combination I would say but it turned out great! 

For an extra pop of color I added a few neon accessories. This included a pair of statement earrings, a bold belt, and a fun silicon Marc by Marc Jacobs bracelet. Then for shoes I kept things simple with a camel colored bootie. These booties are super comfortable and I can last all day in them. Surprisingly I got them from Target for only around $9 a few seasons ago! 

My arm candy of the day. I can't go a day without my Alex and Ani bracelets. My go-to ones currently are my Pi Beta Phi bangle and my daughter bangle. Also, my Henri Bendel watch is my favorite of the moment. 

Where it's from:

If you couldn't tell I love colorful accessories! They add so much to an outfit. What are your favorite kind of accessories? Let me know in the comments!

OOTD: Holidays in Chicago 

Every year my family and I go downtown Chicago to go to the Walnut room and the Macy's on State Street. This year due to my wisdom teeth being removed we had to reschedule our normal trip. So, by the time we got there the walnut room was booked for the night! (It was crazy busy to say the least!) However we did get to take pictures with the tree and browse through ornaments. 

For my outfit I wore my favorite sequin skirt and white button down. I mixed up the look with a pair of festive red tights and a plaid scarf. This plaid scarf may be one of my new obsessions! (So get ready to see it a lot.) 

Where it's from: 

Shirt: Ralph Lauren Polo 

Skirt: Aerie 

Tights: Target 

Scarf: Khols 

Necklace: J Crew 

Shoes: Michael Kors 

Bracelets: J Crew & Alex and Ani 

Earrings: Kate Spade 

I love these red tights! I was a little iffy about them but I saw Blair Waldorf sporting a pair on Gossip Girl so it kind of inspired me to buy a pair. And since Blair is my twin I figured I could work them as well. 

Two of my holiday favorites include this nail polish by Essie (Beyond Cozy) and my gold glitter sunglasses by Betsey Johnson. Together they make a very sparkly combo. 

{State Street Macy's in Chicago is my absolute favorite! We have been coming here to see the tree since as long as I can remember. Each year a different person designs/ decorates the tree and I love seeing how it changes from year to year.}

{My brother and I in front of the tree. You can see we both love plaid.}

Two of my favorite festive accessories! I always find myself reaching for this J Crew statement necklace. It is a total staple in my wardrobe. 

{I spy Kate Spade dishes. When I am older I feel like all my dishes will be Kate Spade!}

{I wish I could pull off a Christmas tree as a skirt. How chic would that be?}

My Boy Ralph: How to style a Ralph Lauren shirt 

A good pair of brown boots is a must in any girls closet! These are my Mom's but I wore them since I was home from school. I had to take advantage of the opportunity. 

My accessories included a J Crew necklace which I continued to wear in the dressy look. This necklace basically goes with everything and I find myself wearing it way to much! But, what can I say, it was a great investment piece. 

Dressy: 

It's quite easy to turn your casual look into a fun night look. In this case I wore this outfit to another Thanksgiving party. I paired the shirt with a gold sequin skirt, knee high socks, and a pair of brown wedge booties. Adding some red tinted lip stain also made the look a little more snazzy. 

But, by keeping your shirt, necklace, and earrings the same it makes for an easy transition from day to night. I mean I'm not working in an office or anything but if one needed to change to get cocktails after work this would be a great option. 

Added some sparkly bracelets and bangles also makes your look a little more dressy!
