Outfit details found here Happy New Year! New year, new wardrobe right? Well, not quite. If you’ve followed me for a while then you may have noticed that I am HUGE fan of getting as much wear out of my clothing pieces that I can. I’ve grown to learn how to shop a bit smarter (ie. if I can wear it more than a few ways than I don’t need it). I love re-styling piece as well as re-discovering the joy of a top that I wore 3 seasons ago. So this year you will see this topic pop up on the blog quite a bit. I will show how I’ve styled a particular piece or pieces currently as well as how I wore it in the past. Above is today’s look. Here is a break down of my favorite re-worn pieces: Gray Coat-  a newer addition to my closet but already worn a ton. My favorite part is the collar. It lays flat which is a really chic touch. It’s also very light-weight; more of cardigan material so it layers with other chunky pieces well. It will also be great for the spring. This exact coat is found here .  Gra

Today I’m back with an OOTD featuring (my favorite) teddy coat, an oversized scarf and moto boots.  It’s officially winter and it really does feel like it here on the east coast. I like to stay warm but as fashionable as possible so here is a break down of how I did that with this look. My first layer is always a tank when it’s cold out. Under my coat you can see a fitted long sleeve tee. I then topped it with my cozy teddy coat. For extra warmth I added a blanket scarf. This scarf is a little on the expensive side but is worth every single penny. It’s like being wrapped in another sweater on top. You can find it in more colors here . Probably my favorite part of this outfit are my boots. They are currently on sale for $20 here but in very limited sizes. I linked similar pairs here . Finally, to feel extra cool I decided to wear my ov

This month’s mood board was inspired by all things Christmas. I’m seeing red (in a good way) all month long. I’m also loving Christmas flowers and of course holiday fashion. 

Shop this look here Happy December and what many bloggers call plaid season. It’s such a fun and simple way to feel festive for this time of year. I did a poll on my Instagram stories and a whopping 94% said that they’re really into plaid. 6% said no not really. I've noticed that plaid is a pretty yes or no thing; either you're into it or it's not for you.  For this look I wanted to add a little more to my basic button shirt so I opted for a long teddy coat in a contrasting color. This teddy coat was a steal last year from Shein but they are everywhere so I linked a  similar version . I added black accessories to dress it up a bit. Let’s talk about the bag. Yes that is a summer straw bag, but I like to think of it as basic. For example, you can always wear basics such tees in the winter as long as you layer it, right? There really are no rules to fashion. I’m really excited to play around with Christmas/winter fashion this month. Happy holidays!  *I am an Amazon affiliate.

Happy new week! It’ll probably come as no surprise that mules are my favorite cooler weather shoe... as I talk about them every year on the blog. They’re so perfect for that transition where it’s not quite time to take out boots. Lately I’m loving mules with a classic trench coat. Both timeless pieces that can be worn year after year. I rounded up a few favorites of both!
