Rainbows make the best Friday's

Happy Friday to all! I get all giddy in the morning with the prospect of Casual Friday. I finally get to wear my cozy jeans and feel a bit more relaxed for the day. Today was extra special because I got to see this beautiful rainbow. I hadn't seen one in so long that it really struck me how beautiful they are. I was surprisingly able to capture a picture of this beauty. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day filled with beauty and color!

Casually yours..

With these rising and falling temps throughout the day it's nice to have a bunch of easy light layering pieces. I love this casual look from the sneaks to the loose fitting sweater. I remember in college this time of year, I would leave in sweats all bundled then change around lunch for the warm temps then throw on layers for the night time! It's a crazy season, but I love it, because after all it's warm relief from the bitter Indiana winters and I get to wear more than one outfit a day! Then again, I'm kind of a weirdo like that.

Aye aye Captain

I really pulled out the military inspiration today, between the camo and the military jacket, one might call my Private Benjamin! I wanted a comfy relaxed look to run some errands and be productive. These cozy camo pants are perfect for just that. I try not to get all dolled up for the grocery store, because after all, even grocery shopping cannot be improved by a good outfit. I truly don't like to wander the aisles of the grocery store and I dislike putting them all up afterwards even more, but it is nice to have an abundance of food, well for what seems like 2 days. TGIF!

Happy Sunday

Happy happy Sunday! I don't know why I love Sunday's so much, but it is just the most perfect day for relaxing. I think it might be due to the amount of Sundays I worked prior to this year, so I relish in these wonderful weekends off. Plus, Sunday is the obvious brunch day and who doesn't love brunch? If you don't love brunch, I'm not sure we can be friends. haha. Sometimes, Aaron and I opt for some homemade brunch, with grapefruit mimosas and my famous biscuits and gravy! (the trick is to use maple flavored sausage). Other weeks we opt to spend way too much money on the delicious drinks at Zest! we are regulars, which sounds so adult of us. And on ocassion, we just relax all day and watch Netflix in a perpetual cuddle, as to prepare our brains for the week ahead. Thus ends my love letter to Sunday. 

How do you spend your SundayFunday?

Pinspired Series

It's been a while since I've done a Pinspired post, so you know...here's another! I absolutely love this inspirational look. I think I can find a lot of ways to emulate it with different items. I personally love hers a little more, but alas I can work on it :) I love finding inspiration from a vast array of places! It keeps my looks on trend and fresh. It would be so easy for me to fall into the rut of jeans and tees, which don't get me wrong I love that look too, but I like to add some variety!

Buns and Ruffles

Today's look is perfect for this cold weather with an oversized patterned cardigan, warm leggings, and shearling filled boots! This cardigan has been through a lot! It's one of my go-to's and has been for quite some time. This year it even required a little love from my mom's Pfaff! Every now and then you come across a piece that really sticks with you, although you never know until you bring it home. I've owned many items I thought I would revere for a long time and have since forgotten. Yet, on the flipside I've bought things on a total whim and they've been my favorites ever since. 

I paired this beaut with the most amazing little booties! I got these babies for free (yes, free) from being in the Purdue Fashion Show. The designer gave us a pair of shoes to go with her amazing designs. I love these booties so much, because they seem to stay perfectly in style. They are so cute that I decided to go ahead and throw on some ruffle socks, because why the hell not?! In the end this outfit was perfect to counteract my last day without a shampoo *hence the top knot* and really set the tone for a perfect winter day. 

What's your soul-mate fashion piece?

They've gone to Plaid!

If you picked up on my Spaceballs reference, I applaud you! If you follow me on instagram @peckonthechic then you saw me post an adorable outfit from Old Navy's instagram. I found inspiration from that post and came around to this ensemble.

 

I love the dark shades of blue and plaid is of course an excellent pattern for fall. With the chill in the air you will most likely see me wearing tights for the next 6 months. I love tights and hope to invest in cuter patterns soon. Of course, I will keep posted.

 

What's your favorite cold weather accessory?

Cabernet Blouse and Statement Jewelry

You have to love fall for it's layering capabilities! This adorable top from Le Tote is perfect for just that. I love the midi sleeve, it's such a chic departure from the cap sleeve and three-quarter. This outfit is undoubtedly cute and comfy, but it was missing something. That something almost always a good piece of jewelry! This lust worthy necklace is an amazing find at Adorn boutique in Broad Ripple. The kicker is that it was only $16! Nothing better than a stylish deal.
