Let's hibernate

Yup, it's official. I'm calling it quits for the season. I've packed up months worth of delicious food and I'm set to go till Spring. 

I'm sure you've gathered thus far that I am not a cold weather person. It must be that Florida born factor. Well, with that said, here's my fur vest. yet again. I love this piece to add style and warmth! I paired it with this season's biggest pattern craze, plaid! I'm obsessing over all of the amazing plaid blanket scaves, but due to my current budget status I'll have to stick with the items I already own. It's easy to replicate trends without breaking the bank! 

This look is super simple and comfortable, but has an element of drama! 

Stay warm out there!

Let's Polka!

There are few patterns I love more than Polka Dots! It's a great way to channel your inner child and stay in fashion. I like to wear sweaters over a collar. It's a classy look and can be dressed up or down. Plus, in these temps it's nice to have an extra layer! Layering is a great way to mix and match your wardrobe, you can change a seemingly similar outfit into a totally different look! 

How do you mix it up?

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?
