Clothing swap continued.....

So the top half of this outfit is pure clothing swap attire. I've worn the purple cardigan a few times now, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time that I've donned the striped tank. Both of these items were from the last clothing swap that I attended. I should be attending another clothing swap this up-coming weekend. (If all goes well). 

The days have been blurring together recently.....I am so sorry. I hope to be back on a regular schedule soon....ugh.

The pants are from Old Navy, the necklace and the shoes are from Dress Barn (recent). That is all.

Coral Pops

For This particular outfit, I was going for the monochromatic look. However I felt like I needed some color, so I decided to add my new coral bracelet and necklace. 

I absolutely love getting new accessories! I love the way that a fun bangle or a statement necklace can really transform an outfit. I'm also loving half of  the jewelry at Dress Barn right now. And J.Crew.

 I kind of wish that I had a closet full of jewelry.

(Faux) Fur and Stripes

This is the outfit that I wore on Sunday, which was also the same day that we had to drive home. To keep my packing light, I re-wore the same pants, boots, and vest as I did on Friday. I knew that this outfit needed a pop of color, so I added my new necklace that the man bought me from Jamaica. The sweater needed an under shirt, so instead of putting the usual black or cream cami on, I decided to go with teal, (like the necklace).

I think that I have officially worn this sweater with every pair of pants that I own now. Well, not counting capri pants or shorts...

Faux Fur and Stripes

I don't know about where you live, but the weather around here has been absolutely crazy! One day it's beautiful and sunny (and you think that it is spring), and the next day you are wondering if the rain is going to turn into snow because it is so cold outside. 

This outfit came from one of the warmer days. This sweater is pretty sheer, so it's actually best to wear it when the air is a little on the warm side. I have been wanting to wear this vest for some time now, but everything I go to wear it, it's raining outside, and I don't want it to get wet. This vest is one of the softest things that I have ever felt. I find myself constantly stroking the thing. 

The man and I had a lot going on this weekend, so I felt like this outfit was perfect for the amount of errands and socialization that we had planned. I'm not going to lie, this outfit was very comfortable.

And this is my take on wearing stripes right now. I really like how this sweater has different "layers" of stripes, if you will.

Clothing Recap

What an amazing weekend in the beautiful state of South Carolina. The man and I went down South to visit some family friends. He grew up with them, so they really are like extended family, and we don't get to see them very often as they live 8 hours away. I'm not going to lie, I am jealous of the warm weather that is still going on down there. I ran around in short-sleeves and flats instead of my typical boots and sweater outfits. Most of my outfits were repeats (see last blog post) or simple shirts and jeans, and not really blog post worthy. (They have two babies so fashion wasn't my main focus of the weekend). 

Today's post is of an outfit that I wore sometime last week. The shirt and sweater are both from the clothing swap that I attended about a month ago. I have also included a small collage of the three times that I blogged about my Mint Capri Pants. I definitely wore them more than three times this year, but since I only started blogging in September, I only have three documented times of wearing them. As I find time, I'll try to put together a recap of some of my clothes from this past year (or rather the past four months).

Mint Capri Pants Recap

Mint and Stripes

I absolutely love my mint pants. I loved wearing them this past spring and summer, and am happy to continue wearing them throughout the fall. Now this particular pair of pants were once skinny jeans, but I turned them into capris. I love how neutrals look with mint, so I was excited to wear this combo out and about this past weekend. I cannot wait to try out other combos with mint this fall. I will have to work on my boots though, as these are slouchy boots and kept coming down to wear my capris ended. Maybe I'll invest in a pair of tall socks so it won't look so awkward. 

I'll be going back and forth between multiple states for the next couple of days, so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to post. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Burgundy Boots

I am in love with these boots. When I first saw them on display, I knew that they would be a great addition to my wardrobe. I saw them right before the big Black Friday sale, and went ahead and tried them on so that I wouldn't have to worry about the wait and hassle on Black Friday. Lets face it, the shoe section is a mad house. I don't remember why I was at the mall on Thanksgiving, (maybe it was the day before Thanksgiving), but there was a 50% off sale on all of the shoes. I figured that it was a good enough deal, so I went ahead and bought them. When I went back to the store on Black Friday, the sale was up to 70% off, and I was slightly bummed that I had not waited, but glad that I wasn't in the middle of the shoe mayhem. I said something to one of the sale associates, and she told me that she could still give me the 70% off. Obviously I was excited as I was able to get the sale, but I didn't have to worry about the madness. 

Do you ever take advantage of Black Friday sales, or do you value your safety and stay at home and wait for Cyber Monday?

I love that burgundy is so hot right now, but I think that this is the only burgundy thing in my wardrobe.
