I love my Cora Dress in red so much (and Husband likes it too!) that I bought the Chain Print one as well. I had to get a size 8 since a 6 was not available. It gives me just a little more length. I really wanted to wear it and decided to try adding the Merino Pocket Tunic over it. I immediately loved the look. I know it would look even better with a more fitted sweater but this one suited my needs and I was comfortable in the whole outfit.

I had some J Crew tights still in the package that almost exactly match the Martina Patent Wedges. At the last minute I added the Tortoise Crystal Pendant Necklace. 

I was so happy to finally take a few pics outside since it’s been so cold and gloomy. It was still pretty chilly but the sun and blue skies were out so I didn’t mind. Our patio is coming along slowly due to the weather but these next few days should be really busy with the masonry work. *fingers crossed*

Have a Great Day!

This was my going-to-the-dentist outfit yesterday. The Toothpick in Coated Denim are from last year and the coating has washed off. They are now just regular black jeans. I don’t wear a whole lot of black so this is the first time I’ve worn these since last January.

This Hugo Guinness sweater is really one of my favorites of the Hugo Guinness for J Crew. It just seems like the right sweater for layering anything under it. This and the Bliss Sweater are now 40% off with SHOPNOW. I finally ordered a few things today after filling up and watching what disappeared over the last few days.

Though it wasn’t on sale, I bought the Cotton Cable Sweater in Ivory. I’m planning on using it to transition to the Spring. I immediately imagined my Blythe Blouse in Polka Dot under the Cashmere Pinstripe Sweater in Grey/Black. I keep reaching for my Fair Isle Abstract Sweater that I decided to get the scarf.

If you missed my post from Sunday, I’m hosting a Give-away. If you haven’t entered, please do so in the comments of that post before this Sunday, at noon. I can’t wait to find out who the TWO lucky winners are!
Have a Great Day!

I had planned on seeing my niece play in a basketball tournament on Saturday but it was cancelled at the last minute due to the weather. I ended up running a few errands instead and then doing a little closet cleaning.The Tippi Houndstooth Sweater is such a pretty color. I forget that the Tippi is not a long-sleeve sweater so I had a little more cuff from my Polka-Dot Blythe Blouse {similar} exposed than I originally wanted. The Factory version of the sweater doesn’t have the Houndstooth shoulder patch but is still pretty.

I put tights under my trusty Pilcro Stet Ankle Jeans to be a little warmer during the day. I wanted to wear my Quinn Booties but since it was raining I didn’t want to mess up the suede. I use this spray but I still prefer not to wear my suede boots in wet weather. The Studded Strap Booties are a great pair of booties for wet weather. The sole is rubber so it grips the ground a little better.

In Wendy’s post yesterday, she posed the question “What ouftit would you wear every day?” I know in Winter and Spring, this outfit is probably what I would pick. I would switch out the heeled booties for my Cece’s but this is an outfit I am definitely comfortable in daily.

Have a Great Day!

I bought the Selvedge Chambray Shirt right before the holidays, hoping it kept with the longer shirt trend J Crew has been promoting. Turns out it just covers my booty which is longer than my other denim and chambray shirts. I have worn it several times already and love it under the Abstract Fair Isle Sweater. I took my normal size 8 in this shirt and it fits TTS.


I have had the Cashmere Shawl-Collar Sweater since Holiday 2009. It looks great over ruffled blouses like Silk Frances Cami from a few years ago. The Pixie Pants in Tuxedo Stripe are last year’s version but you can still get this year’s version. Though they need it, I haven’t had the chance to get them hemmed. Every time I wear them I am wearing boots so I just fold them up. I did wash them in the machine and not dry clean them. I put them on delicate in cold water. (I have a front-load machine.) The leather stripe came out all wrinkled and crumpled and I thought I had ruined them. After they dried I pulled on that part to see what would happen and they went back to normal. Especially after I put them on. I do wear them quite a few times before washing and I don’t know how many times I’ll be able to get away with it before something happens to the leather. Hopefully, I’ll get my fill of them by then. 

The Anonymous Ism socks are from last year’s men’s collection but there are new offerings this year {here, here, here}. Mine have deer on them and since they are for men, they are a little bigger but much cozier too! I am finally wearing my Tortoise Crystal Pendant and paired it with an older J Crew necklace, maybe the Pearl & Box Chain. {Que Bella} I forgot how much I liked the necklace. I’ll have to be sure to wear it so it’s more noticeable next time.
I hope you are all staying warm this weekend! I am hoping to make my niece’s basketball tournament tomorrow, with maybe a stop at the outlet. I haven’t been there in a while. Kate Spade and J Crew are calling to me.
Have a Great Day!

Do any of you find it harder to style clothes in Winter, especially when it’s freezing outside? When all you want to do is stay in warm leggings or joggers and cozy sweaters? Or in bed? As you know, I work from home and I have this problem. I can’t imagine how those of you who leave the house to go to your job in freezing weather do it. You ladies are brave, and I’m pretty sure stylish too!

I layer to stay warm and since sweatshirts are trendy, I can now grab one of those instead of a sweater. The Andie Chinos are a little thicker than jeans and help keep the cold from my legs. If I’m going out, booties and warm socks are the way to go for me. Otherwise I’m in my slippers or Chalet Boots. I have the Epic Sweatshirt layered over last year’s Crinkle Boy Shirt but the Factory Suckered Gingham is the same version.
Both the sweatshirt and Andie Chinos were still NWT in my closet. I like both of them but I was grabbing other items over these to wear. I have a few more NWT I need to pull out and style so you will hopefully see those soon!
Have a Great Day! Sending thoughts of warm sandy beaches your way!
