OOTD: Cozy Sweater


Here is a little OOTD throwback! I wore this look before there was snow on the ground and before it was 2 degrees out. Although, this is a great look to wear when the weather gets chilly. 

For this look I wore this oversized sweater from American Eagle. I love the textures on this sweater that are combined with the stripe pattern. You can't go wrong with a bold black and white look. But, to add a little color I wore these utilitarian inspired skinny pants from J Crew. 

To accessorize I wore my go-to Baublebar earrings. I always find myself reaching for them! I think they are great because they have simple black, grey, and white stones. This makes them match practically anything! Then I also layered a few of my favorite dainty necklaces. One is a M initial pendent from Kate Spade and the other is a twitter handle necklace from Marley Lilly. For my bracelets I wore my favorite Alex and Ani bangles plus my KJP bow bracelet. To complete the look I wore camel colored booties.

OOTD: Embellished Oxford


For this outfit of the day I was a little more dressed up then normal. To create this preppy look I first wore this gorgeous embellished oxford. Originally around $90 at J Crew I got it on sale for around $25 on clearance! It was such a great deal that I could not pass up. The shirt has a fabulous sequin detail down the side which gives the shirt a glam touch. I paired the shirt with a simple navy skirt. To keep my legs warm on the chilly day I wore thick sweater tights. 

To accessorize the look I wore a gorgeous multi-colored statement necklace. I also scored this necklace for under $20 at J Crew! My number one shopping tip is to take advantage of the sale section at J Crew. Most often times they have an extra 40%-50% the sale section. In addition, to my necklace I also wore subtle iridescent statement earrings. 





To complete the look I wore Daniel Wellington watch and a Henri Bendel bracelet. For a change in my watch, I switched out my leather strap for my navy and red nano strap. I love Daniel Wellington watches because it gives you the option of changing your strap to make it a completely new watch!


Where it's from: 
Shirt: J Crew 
Skirt: J Crew (Crew Cuts) 
Boots: Madewell 
Tights: Nordstrom 
Earrings: J Crew 
Necklace: J Crew
Watch: Daniel Wellington 
Bracelet: Henri Bendel 



I'm currently LOVING this oxford! The sequin and ribbon detail makes the shirt a little more special then your average oxford.

OOTD: Party hat on

Lets get the party started! 

This bright and colorful hat was a recent Christmas gift. I love this hat for the winter because it adds a great pop of color to any outfit. Plus the hat is made out of corduroy which makes it winter appropriate. 

To avoid distracting from my party hat I decided to keep the rest of the outfit basic. For me the basics include: 
-A pair of black leggings 
-A white button down 
-Short brown boots
-Monogram necklace

My outfit included all of these basic pieces in my wardrobe. A simple white button down lets the hats bright colors pop from the look. To add a little bit of extra color I added a bright pink lip color to tie in with the hat. 


For jewelry I kept things simple. Pearl studs, a monogram necklace, my KJP pearl bracelet, and my Alex and Ani bangles. 


Wearing baseball hats is one of my go-to solutions to a bad hair day. My hair wasn't looking to hot so sliding on a baseball cap fixes all of my worries. Not to mention they are a great accessory! Vineyard Vines is on e of my favorite places to get hats. 


Don't you love this hat! I can't get over the color block detailing. Although this hat isn't available on Vineyard Vines website right now they have a great sale going on! An extra 30% off sale items! Be sure to check it out. 


Where it's from: 
Shirt: Ralph Lauren 
Leggings: Aerie 
Boots: Michael Kors 
Hat: Vineyard Vines 
Bracelets: Alex and Ani & KJP 
Necklace: Moon and Lola 


My current favorite pieces of jewelry are in this look. You have seen these four bracelets in a lot of recent OOTD posts. What can I say, I can't help it they are too classic not to wear with everything!

OOTD: Cargo Cool


For a day of classes I have been drawn to pants more and more. With the temperature dropping wearing tights and dresses is getting less appealing (which is super depressing). So, I have resorted to wearing cute utility pants like these navy pants from J Crew. I paired these cool pants with a simple striped top. Overtop I wore an army green military vest. The overall look was super cool but still my preppy style. 

For accessories I wore one of my favorite pair of statement earrings. This pair is great because it has a lot of colors that I wear on a regular basis. You can never go wrong with a great statement earring! My favorite place to get statement earrings is Baublebar or J Crew. They have great options and if you keep your eye out you can usually score them on sale! Then I tied in the navy and green in my outfit with my Sperry Topsider watch.

OOTD: Thanksgiving Round 2



This past saturday I had another family Thanksgiving party. For my outfit I wanted to keep things more casual due to it being a smaller gathering. 

So, for a casual holiday look I turned to my black fur vest. These fur vests are a huge trend this season. Not only are they warm but they add great texture to any outfit. These vests can be found in practically any store and I highly suggest investing in one! I got this vest at American Eagle last season and it has come in handy for this year. From black, brown, to tan any color vest is a great neutral to add to any winter look. 

With my vest I wore a bright green long sleeve to add some color. Then I threw on a comfortable pair of leggings.

To spice up my look I added a bunch of great accessories. My boots are a personal favorite. Whenever I am home I always take advantage of my Mom's shoe collection. These ankle booties are super cute and a little edgy. I wore a pair of sparkly silver socks to add a little something extra. Then I wore a bold jewel statement necklace from C Wonder to add an extra touch of black to the look. As usual, I also wore my favorite bangles of the moment. 



Accessories of the day! Check out this photo and my other pictures on my Instagram!

Shirt: Ralph Lauren Polo

OOTD: Black Friday look



Normally I do not shop on Black Friday. Like ever. I don't really get all the hype. I'd rather shop online or shop the week before Black Friday. When I went shopping the weekend prior I got some AMAZING deal! But, my friend asked me to go shopping with her so I decided to tough it out and head out to the mall. To my surprise it wasn't to crazy around 2-3 in the afternoon. We went to a few stores and I got some great deals (I can't lie). Some included 30% off at Francesca's as well as $10 deals at Charming Charlie's. I mean 2 for $10 winter accessories can't be beat. I got 4 great scarves (one for me 3 as gifts) for $20! What a steal.


For my on-the-go Black Friday look I decided to mix prints. I wore a simple striped long sleeve with a bright pink plaid scarf. Mixing stripes and plaid is one of my favorite combinations. It's a surprisingly cute combo! In general, I think mixing prints can add a lot of interest to ones outfit. It makes your look have a little something extra in comparison to a plain tee and scarf. 
To stay comfortable while shopping I wore my go-to American Eagle jeans. American Eagle jeans are the ONLY jeans I wear! They are not only super stretchy but they are beyond comfortable. 


To complete the look I threw on my favorite pair of short boots. I've worn these in countless OOTD looks because they are the perfect height. Also, they are great for walking around because the are uber comfy. Then I added a pair of fun purple and pink statement earrings to accent the pink scarf. For my arm candy I mixed Alex and Ani, Kate Spade, and Henri Bendel pieces. 


My newest obsession is a recent purchase of mine this black cape coat from Nordstrom. I picked it up at Nordstrom rack for around $50 which is a decent price for a cape coat. Although it doesn't look warm it actually keeps me toasty. I love this kind of coat if you know you will be running in and out of stores. Not to mention it is adorable!

OOTD: Bold Tights


Wearing colored tights is a great way to spice up your fall wardrobe. It's getting chilly but that doesn't mean you can't rock a cute dress in the fall and winter months. For this look I featured a teal color pair of fishnet style tights. These tights have a super unique pattern which adds a lot of texture and interest to the look. 

I paired these funky tights with a coffee color dress from American Eagle. This dress is seriously the comfiest thing ever. Its stretchy which makes it comfortable to wear all day. Then I also wore my dark brown tall boots with a long chain necklace. The necklace has one strand of turquoise beads which ties in the color of my tights


The back of this dress is super cute! Its open without being to revealing and you don't have to wear sticky boobs! (Which I find to be always good)

OOTD: Casual Pocket


Sometimes I wish I could dress like a boy. I am obsessed with the idea of bow ties, suspenders, comfy pocket tees, and khakis. So, for this look I channeled my inner tom-boy and wore a boys tee. This tee is one of the most comfortable things I own. Its a simple plain white long sleeve with a heather grey pocket. 

To compliment the preppy boy-ish style I wore a pair of industrial pants. They are kind of edgy for me but I love them! The pants have a lot of zipper and seam details which make them super unique. Also, I wore my favorite pair of short boots. I wear these boots at least 3 times a week. They are my addiction. I snagged them at the Nordstrom anniversary sale and I am literally in love! Not only do these boots look great with pants but I love pairing them with skirts and dresses. 


To complete the look I layered two of my favorite J Crew necklaces. I love the result of these two pieces combine. One is more sparkly and one has more gold elements so they perfectly balance each other. Also I wore my typical Alex and Ani bangles as well as a watch.
