I’m so happy I get to actually get wear a warm coat and not have to pretend like it’s cold enough to wear it (like I do when I’m back home). I tried to pack minimal for this trip to Kentucky, because I’m only here for a couple of days. So I threw all my favorite things in a bag and called it a day. Turtlenecks are a lifesaver for this cold weather, and this camel/cashew color is great paired with lighter colored items, or with black skinnies and black flats. I also like bringing baggy, boyfriend jeans when I travel, because they’re easy to move around and a great casual jean. I brought these awesome heels because they can really make any look kinda edgy with the spiky ankle straps, and they kind of dress the whole look up.

I also like how the whole look is quite versatile. I can wear this look with the heels to a nice lunch, then I can throw some flats on for a more casual, walking around the town look.

When I travel, I like to stick to the motto “basics are better”. My basics are usually button-downs, jeans, and booties. I wanted to stay with my basics for this trip, but just update them a little. I switched out my usual white button-down for a chambray one, and black jeans for leather leggings. I also had to wear my favorite coat because it’s in the 30’s here in Kentucky and the coat not only adds edginess but also keeps me warm.

Well, I decided to pull out the most colorful item I own, my beloved neon orange knit. When I saw this sweater a few months back I was so drawn to the color, the only challenging thing about it is that it has 3/4 length, kind of flare sleeves (which can be a little unflattering). To give the outfit more shape, I rolled the sleeves up. I also tied the denim jacket around my waist to tie the whole look together.

I’ve been on the hunt for a good white t-shirt dress and for some reason, none of them worked for me. Either all of them were too long, not white enough, and had the shape of a sack (don’t get me wrong, sometimes I like that look), but when I found this one on Forever 21’s site I literally said “yes, yes, YES!”, because it was the right brightness of white, good length for me, and it hangs on the body nicely (I know you can’t really see it, but trust me), and it was only $12 so I couldn’t pass it up! Unfortunately, it sold out faster than it was online, but if you want this dress, just keep checking back on F21 and they should restock it.

I hope you all have a great weekend! I’ll be traveling out of state to see my family tomorrow for a couple of days, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to upload on my regular days, but I’m going to try! I’ll probably be posting a lot of my trip on Instagram, so follow me on there if you want to see what I’ll be up to!

Frills

 

Is it too early to start dreaming about spring? Well, with the temperature being in the 60s, all I can think about is spring. Even though I’m stoked for spring, there’s a part of me that wants to wear winter wear (makes sense since we still have two months of winter left). But for today’s outfit I figured, why not have the best of winter and spring in one outfit? I really the girly silhouette of the top with the cloth at the bottom because it gives it that flowy and light feeling. But to keep the winter feels I added the coat and turtleneck. And of course, these platform, pointed-toe oxfords are perfect all year around.

I kind of wore the top like a dress, but paired some shorts underneath just to be safe.

Midi

It’s midweek, so it’s time for a midi dress. In my opinion, Wednesday’s can almost be worse than Monday’s. All that goes through my head on Wednesday’s is, “you’re almost there” (referring to the weekend). For me, an outfit can change my whole mood, and it can be the perfect boost I need to get me through the rest of the week. This particular outfit is the perfect outfit to me. It’s both comfortable and sophisticated, but there’s something so awesome about midi dresses. I guess why I love midi dresses, and maxi dresses, is that they’re so elegant but effortless.

Faux

Lately, when I look at the temperature for the day and it says 30 something degrees I think that when I’m going to step outside it’s magically going to be 80 degrees. Unfortunately that’s not the case (and shooting by the water doesn’t really help). I always think that winter is a joke in the south, but it’s not playing around this year. So here’s another layered up look. I didn’t want to sacrifice my skirts just for a little cold weather, so I bundled my top half. I love layering with moto jackets because they’re surprisingly warm without me screaming like Randy from A Christmas Story “I can’t put my arms down!”. I also added an incredibly warm faux-fur scarf which adds that chic element to this otherwise simple outfit.
