Baby it's Even Colder Outside + Outfit Details

It's cold, y'all. Here in Kentucky it really does not get unbearably cold until mid January and let me tell ya, the bitter cold stage is in full swing! Snow is on the horizon and now that I am in college, the thought of trudging through the snow is almost enough to make me cry. Needless to say, I could do without the white fluffy stuff this time around. 

But, if it does have to be super cold, you better believe I am going to embrace it when it comes to my wardrobe! Anyone else obsessed with the fair isle sweater comeback? Most may look at this sweater and have thoughts of their grandparents or family photos from the 70s, but I absolutely love the timeless look and feel of these classic sweaters! 

The one that I am wearing is of course, from J.Crew. In my opinion, J.Crew has the ability to mix tacky and classic and turn it into perfection. I love the navy, mint, and gray detailing in this sweater. The colors combine and seem to align perfectly with the frigid temps outside!

p.s. This sweater is now on sale PLUS you can get 30% off AND free shipping now! I've linked it here.

I paired this sweater with a navy quilted vest. The solid vest has a way of toning down the pattern in the sweater so it is not so in-your-face. Old Navy gets me every year with their vests. This one is from last year, but I have linked one that is basically identical from J.Crew here!

Skinny jeans and bean boots go together like coffee and cream. American Eagle never fails when it comes to jeans that fit me perfectly. I have linked this exact pair here! My bean boots are one of my most prized possessions. I got mine for Christmas last year and I wear them ALL THE TIME. In my opinion, they are more than worth the investment! I've linked my pair here.

Thank you all for reading today! I hope you enjoyed! See ya soon!

There's just something about rainy days that make them so soothing. I am a sucker for rainy days! I am LOVING my pink jacket with white polka dots for the Spring. It's enough to brighten any rainy day! Anyone want to take a wild guess where it's from? Target kid's section. Yes, I said kid's. 

How about my gingham capris? Oh man, I'm in love. You better believe I justified every bit of the $25 I spent on them... That's right, $25. I feel like this whole outfit was just a major WIN. Topping it off, quite literally, I wore a simple baby pink lace shirt. I love pairing patterned pants with lace. The look it gives is simple, but not boring. 

As for accessories, I wore a watch from Target clearance and my new favorite rose gold ring from Charming Charlie's. 

Thanks for stopping by! Lots of love!

Sunshine on a Cloudy Day + Outfit Details

Rainy Days call for bright clothing. I just love pairing bright, Spring colors together... Especially on gloomy days. Somehow, the bright colors always seem to put me in a better mood and get more motivated when usually rainy days just make me want to curl up on the couch! Today, I could basically be an Old Navy model (but that's like everyday). My long cardigan and the paisley print shirt underneath are both from Old Navy. These long cardigans are seriously one of the biggest staples in my closet. They are SO comfortable and when paired with the right outfit, they can be super stylish. I love the different color of green that this particular cardigan is, it stands out so well! 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed. Lots of Love!

St. Patricks Day + Outfit Details

St. Patricks Day is here and the only pot of gold I found was my coffee this morning. I've never actually known why we celebrate St. Patty's Day, but I do know that you better wear green or else you have it coming for ya! Today, I wore my green gingham oxford shirt from, you guessed it, Old Navy. I have this shirt is almost every color... A little gingham never hurt anybody! 

I paired my green shirt with a lightweight pink quilted vest from Old Navy. You have to really watch for these, they come at really odd times of the year and they're gone faster than you can say Leprechaun. To top it all off, I wore a basic pair of dark skinny jeans and navy flats (yes, purchased from Old Navy). 

I hope everyone's Saint Patrick's Day was full of fun and luck! Lots of Love!

Spring Transition piece + Outfit Details

Words seriously cannot explain how incredibly happy I am that Spring is finally here! As much as I love layering, I am definitely not complaining about not having to wear a jacket everywhere I go. It seems that nobody knows what to wear during this "transition" time between Winter and Spring. I will admit, it's definitely not an easy time of the year to pick out clothes, but my biggest piece of advice is to stock up on lightweight long sleeve shirts. In my case, today I am wearing a lace sleeved shirt with a chiffon bottom. This shirt was perfect for today.

I paired this shirt with a simple pair of rolled up skinny jeans and my favorite pair of caramel colored  booties,,, Yes I have them in black too (if you love something, buy it in every color :)). Altogether this was a very simple outfit. I purchased the shirt from a resale instagram account called @8closets so I can't link it, but I'm sure it wouldn't be super hard to find. Thank you for reading today! Lots of Love!

Pastel Piko + Outfit Details

After many weeks of frigid temps and icy roads, I think Spring is finally making it's way around. Today, I was way too excited to just leave my favorite lavender Piko top hanging in my closet. I needed to say hello to Spring somehow... What better way to say "glad you're here" than to throw on some pastels and do a Spring dance *insert touchdown dance move here*... Okay so that may be a little much, but regardless I am one happy camper today!

I chose this lavender Piko top to wear today. Partially because the color is literally fantastic and partially because it's seriously comparable to wearing a blanket as a shirt... your favorite blanket. I paired this top with a scarf that I handmade. Hello clearance flannel!

Can we all just take a moment to marvel at these flats? Not only are they the most adorable shoes ever, they're no joke 100 percent the most comfortable shoe I have ever stepped foot in. The nude color makes them so wearable and so practical. Are you sold yet? 

To top it all off, I wore my favorite fleece lined black leggings. Basically, I wore pajamas all day. Well, that's what it felt like anyway. Thank you ALL so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed! Lots of love!

Storm's a brewing + Outfit Details

Finally what's left of the grass after the snow has been revealed! But of course, storms are in the forecast... Winter storms. I have an obsession with pastel colors making dressing for the Winter very hard for me. Today, the temperature was absolutely perfect. I didn't have to run to get my jacket in between shots for once! I chose a very simple, clean look for today. This look is seriously one of the easiest looks to create.

I started off the look with a baby blue and white very lightweight striped oxford shirt from Old Navy. I threw on a simple light gray cardigan to tie it all together. I'm all about throwing on cardigans to make an outfit look a little more sophisticated. I paired this outfit with navy flats and a little bit of arm candy. Gotta love Target watches and pearls! This is my go to outfit if I am having one of those "I have nothing to wear" moments. It's so simple and you can mix it up in so many different ways.

Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed! Lots of Love!

Bright Colors on a dreary day + Outfit Details

I know I've said it before, but I'm more serious today than ever... I'm ready to see grass! But of course, snow is STILL in the forecast. Oh well, I guess with Kentucky weather you just sort of learn to roll with the punches. Today, I was definitely feeling something a little bit brighter since I'm dreaming of Spring! My pink and white striped Polo Ralph Lauren oxford did the job. I don't know what Ralph Lauren puts in these oxfords but it must be something magical. They're so comfortable and so worth the splurge.

I paired my oxford with my all-time favorite quilted vest from Old Navy. I know for a fact that Old Navy no longer sells these (trust me, I've looked for more colors!), but I will link some below that are comparable. Added to jeans and boots, this was a simple outfit to create and very practical for everyday wear! 

I hope you enjoyed this post, thank you so much for stopping by! Lots of Love!

Fur Vest Trend + Outfit Details

It seems as though fur vests have become extremely popular this Winter. I must say, I'm not hating it! I think the fur adds a little something extra to an outfit. You can pair a fur vest with a cute flannel, or just over a simple long sleeve shirt which is how I styled mine today. As you can see, the snow is still ankle deep around here so I needed a little added warmth today and this vest did the job well.

I purchased this faux fur vest from Old Navy. I'm not sure if it is still available, but I will post links for some below (that are under $50!). Would you believe that this is a kid's vest?! If you're able, do not be afraid to shop in the kid's section! I do it quite frequently. Usually you can find the same thing that you see in the women's section for half the price! I paired my vest with a flowy white top that I purchased from Gap. Added with black skinny jeans and my favorite Old Navy black booties, I created a complete trendy outfit. This outfit was super affordable and extremely easy to recreate!
