Hey all!

Since I did a fall cravings post I figured I would do one for winter!

It has been PRETTY cold lately so I have been making the transition from fall based leggings and chambray tops to more layers an scarfs everyday.

1) A big slouchy sweater like this is perfect this season to keep warm. And it's black!

2) I definitely have been craving a peacoat or warmer coat to wear over outfits. Love this taup color too that can be very versatile.

3) Leather jackets always seem to sink me in. Love the burgundy color and you can definitely dress this one up and down.

4) I literally need a military jacket in my life. It will go with anything in my closet and it has been a huge piece this fall and winter season.

5) I feel as if this season I am always wearing black. And I don't have a pair of tall black boots so I am totally hoping Santa will pick some up for me ;).

6) Everyone needs a black dress in their life! And why not one for the holidays. This dress has lace and a belt to show off your waist.

7) these scarfs are gorgeous! A fringe scarf has been creeping up lately. And the blanket scarf has been all over Instagram and various blogs.

8) Every girl needs a basic black beanie in their life. This necklace I have also seen all over The Four Seasons Blog and other Instagram pages! It's great to pair with that black dress for the holidays.

Layering

Hey all! 

It is currently 39 degrees in Arizona today and the high will be 54 DEGREES!! Oh my goodness... So it is a layer day for me. 

I love layering collard shirts like gingham and polkadot shirts and chambray with large sweaters or long sleeve shirts. Put a statement necklace or even a big chunky scarf if I am super cold like today.

Here are some Pinterest photos! Showing some layer examples in the first one. 

Enjoy!

1) First off look how comfy those socks look! I love love love pairing flannel with big sweaters on top. The watch also completes the outfit.

2) I absolutely love this combo of distressed jeans and sweater/flannel. Even if it doesn't match the colors and pattern can still work together and this definitely does!

3) This makes me want some black boots really bad. The black jeans go great with the purple. I like the scarf and nailpolish. It's very warm and almost vampy looking. 

Copycat Wednesday

I think I am going to try and start this little segment. I'm going to call I "Copy Cat" if I think of something better I'll change it but I will do it every Wednesday or every other Wednesday. The outfit will be similar or close to a picture of an outfit from someone else's blog. I want to show that you can still dress super fashionable at a affordable price!

I found this blogger Eliza from Lovely Addictions and completely fell in love with her blog. I like her style a lot and enjoy her writing.

She wore a stripes shirt, scarf, black jeans, jean jacket and leopard flats. It's a great pattern mix going on all over! The plaid scarf over a stripe shirt and then some leopard loafers to finish the outfit.

I don't own a plaid scarf but I am obsessed with this leopard one I got from Black Friday shopping. I paired it with a jean jacket, black jeans, and leopard flats like Eliza did. I don't own a light colored stripe shirt like her but I found this one in my closet that was pretty similar!

Hope you enjoyed this I will definitely do more :)

Enjoy!

Pattern Mixing

Since November I have been thinking a lot about what college to go to and what major to settle on and even what career I want. I have decided to commit to this community college called Cowley County in Arkansas City, KS. Then transfer to Kansas State University to major in Apparal and Textiles. Kansas is where I was born and most of my family is there. My parents want me to get out of here (in a nice way) and have a college experience. Which I am lucky to have them support me in a field that will be challenging. I decided on apparel and textiles because 1) they don't have fashion and design and 2) I want to be a personal stylist or fashion consultant. I am not a huge designer. I can't really draw. But I love putting outfits together and knowing the new trends. 

It keeps occurring to me that I only have half a year left till summer then college starts. It's totally crazy for me to think about. Senior year has finally come and it's almost over. Tomorrow I start school and we have 2 1/2 weeks till winter break. It's pretty crazy how time flies. But I'm excited for the adventures ahead.

Moving along to my outfit for today. I have been experimenting this week with mixing prints and I love pairing leopard with plaid. And plaid has definitely been a huge trend for this fall and winter.

I went to Black Friday and picked up this plaid shirt from Old Navy and this leopard scarf from Wet Seal. Both had AMAZING deals that night.

Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you guys are eating plentiful and taking long naps after!

Be thankful for the time you get to spend with the people around you. You never know when you won't have the chance anymore. Say "I love you" to your friends an family. Be grateful for the company.

Here is a little cozy outfit I put together for sitting on the coach watching football, the parade, and eating today.

Enjoy!

New Cardigan & New Movie

Hey all!

Yesterday I was invited to see a special pre-screening of The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty. I thought it was an okay movie but the experience was really neat! I saw it with friends at a movie theater where you can order food and drinks and they'll bring the food to you while you watch the movie. 

I wore one of my favorite cardigans I picked up from Target last week. I am in love with it and I have to give a shout out to friend Carly for wearing it to class. It caught my eye in te store and Target had me. It's very comfortable and will be in many other outfits.

In other news, I hope you all are ready for turkey day tomorrow. In my family each of us help or make our own dish. Let me know in the comments what you guys do for Thanksgiving!

Christmas Trimming

Hey guys! Finally have been pairing sweaters over button downs. Thank goodness Arizona got the hint that it's getting to be winter time.

Hope you are excited for Thanksgiving this week. I love having a nice hot meal and watching Christmas movies with my family, being thankful for each other's company. 

We just put up our tree and decorated it today. These two months are my favorite because of giving to others and making your friends and family's day. :) I love paying for someone's Starbucks or giving someone a random compliment. It doesn't just make them feel better but you too!

Let me know in the comments what you do to give back during the holidays!
