Vests & Blanket Scarves || Cold Weather Go-To's

Hi Everyone!

What are my staple pieces for the winter months? Vests and Blanket Scarves. They are cute, comfy, and so easily paired together. Today I am taking you through my outfit of the day including two of my favorite clothing items.

Let's Get Started!

What I'm wearing:

Seeing as I worked today, I am all buckled out. Everything that I am wearing today I purchased at The Buckle. I have linked below the items that I am wearing so you can check them out!

White Crow V-Neck Top

Honey Punch Wool Blend Vest

Plaid Scarf (They do not have the same scarf on the website so I have linked a Similar Scarf)

Daytrip Virgo Skinny Jean

Lucky Brand Basel Ankle Boot

BKE Bracelet Set

While my vest and scarf, that I wore today, may be from Buckle I have several places that I love to purchase vests and scarves from.

I have a vest and scarf problem, I own way too many!

The two other places that I purchase my vests from are Old Navy and J.Crew Factory. Both stores offer amazing and ridiculously cute vests that I cannot help but purchase. Keep an eye out on Old Navy vests because on Black Friday they will be 50% off! J.Crew right now is also having a great deal on their vests so if you are in the market I'd buy now.

Blanket scarves are a huge trend right now and can be found almost everywhere but, again Old Navy is one of my favorite places to buy blanket scarves and where most of mine are from. Another great place is Express.

Now all of us know the traditional way of wearing a scarf, just wrapping it a few times around our neck but, with their large size, blanket scarves offer so many other ways to be worn.

One of the first ways is to literally wear it as a blanket/cape. Drape it around your shoulders and neck and you have a great way to stay warm in cool weather. With that you can also choose to belt it which is one of my favorite looks. I am wearing my blanket scarf with the pointed down triangle which is the way I normally wear it. All you have to do is fold the scarf into a triangle, tie the two ends together, and then loop it around your neck like an infinity scarf.

Outfit & Makeup of the Day || November 18, 2015

Hi Everyone!

One of my favorite type of posts to make is where I get to show you what I have worn. I haven't done one since this summer and so it was about time I made one. Today was an icky, gloomy, rainy day. The only plus side of it raining is that I am able to use umbrella. I love using my umbrella, I know, I'm weird. On the topic of umbrellas I am blown away by the amount of students on my campus who even in the pouring rain don't use an umbrella. One of my roommates was like 'It's weird' but, I would much rather show up to class dry having looked 'weird' holding any umbrella then show up like I just took a shower in my clothes. That aside, here is what I wore!

If you have seen any of my outfits from last fall/winter, what I am wearing will look very familiar. Vests and flannels are my go to, cold fall/winter day apparel and with the rain and wind today was no exception.

Flannel & Vest || Old Navy

Ponte Pants || Kohls

Black Boots || Herbergers

Earrings || LOFT

Bracelet || Somewhere in Mexico

Ring || Unknown

Nail Polish || Sally Hansen Insta-Dry in Pronto Purple

Revlon Nearly Naked || Fair

L'Oreal True Match Lumi || Rose

Dior Skin Nude || 020

Nars Blush || Orgasm

Nars Bronzer || Laguna

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

Black Pencil Eye Liner

Hikan Lip Gloss || Merlot

Too Faced á la mode sexy St. Tropez eye shadow collection

L'Oreal Colour Riche || 590 Blushing Berry

Outfit of the Day || July 15th 2015

Hi Everyone!

I thought I would make an ootd for yesterday since I thought I looked super cute at work.

Let's Get Started!

Navy Swing Dress | Old Navy

Red & Navy Flannel | Old Navy

Tassel Necklace | Old Navy

White Sandals | Target

One of my intern duties today was to set up this shoe rack with the other two interns and I think we did a great job and that it looks good going from light to dark.

Their was not a whole lot to do yesterday at work so another intern and I were sent to pick up samples from Vogue and then take a long lunch. Lunch was amazing! We went to Brookfield Place which is right across from the One Twin Tower. Where we chose to eat was much like Chipolte but even better, I didn't think that was possible! Their was also Sprinkles cupcakes and I could not pass up the Peanut Butter Chocolate one.

I got a salad with; chicken, pinto beans, fried rice, medium hot sauce, cheese, and crushed tortilla chips. (Healthy I know :) Kidding my lunch was so bad for me but I couldn't pass it up and it was delicious!)

Outfit of the Day || January 26th, 2015

Hi Everyone!

It is beautiful today. Well for the midwest it is. It is 45 degrees and sunny, I feel like I haven't seen the sun in months so walking to class today was actually bearable. Meanwhile in New York they are supposed to be getting 30 inches of snow, for once in my life I'm glad I'm not in New York.

Today I had two classes, I had Aesthetics and Accounting 2. Both classes were alright but I am just glad to be back in my bed for an hour. Later today I need to go grocery shopping because all I have are grapes and oranges since I needed to go grocery shopping a week ago. So today I will make sure I get that done!

Let's Get Started!

Cream Vest - Old Navy

Jeans - Gap

Navy/Red Striped Shirt - Gap

Knot Earrings - Old Navy

Stone Bracelet - Francescas

Boots - Herbergers (Yonkers)

Outfit of the Day || January 23rd, 2015

Hi Everyone!

Today was a pretty uneventful day. I only had one class today, Accounting 2, so my day was not bad at all. I met with my professor today to discuss my internship options for the summer and start getting things all figured out. Thinking about everything that I have to do and figure out completely stresses me out and makes me so anxious. With that being said lately I have been needing to relax myself at night. What I have been doing is going through my night routine of taking off my makeup, picking out a movie, making some tea and then getting in bed and watching a movie. It really helps me to relax after a long day and just not have my mind constantly thinking about everything I need to do.

Anyway, here is what I wore today. I wasn't sure how I felt about the sweater thing but I think it looked kind of contemporary and definitely a step outside my comfort zone. Let me know what you think though in the comments.

Let's Get Started!

Sweater/Poncho: Forever 21

White Long Sleeve Shirt: JCPenny

Dark Legging Jeans: Gap (These are seriously the most comfortable jeans I have ever wore. They feel like leggings and stretch like leggings but look completely like jeans.)

Black Boots: Herbergers (Yonkers)

Gold Knot Earrings: Old Navy

Gold Knot Bracelet: Old Navy

Chevron Bracelet: Wal-Mart

Gold and Black Beaded Bracelet: Forever 21
