Faux Fur + Chambray 1.08.2015

 Vest: Target (may still be available in stores | similar here (seen on this blogger), here) | Shirt: Forever 21 (old, similar) | Pants: H&M | Booties: Elliott Lucca (also available here) | Hat: Prima Donna | Bag: H&M (similar) | Watch: Fossil | Bracelets: Loren Hope, The Limited, Lily and Laura | Lips: Revlon balm stain in 'Crush' | Nails: Essie 'Penny Talk'

I hope you're having a great week! This is an outfit I put together for work the other day, and it's ridiculously cold here this week, so this vest was nice and warm (and more socially acceptable then wearing my coat indoors all day long). 

Is anyone else getting a major endorphin/motivation boost from the days starting to get longer again?? I swear nothing demotivates me faster than walking out of work to darkness! So, there being an hour+ of sunlight after work in the evenings again is really helping with my motivation to cook dinner, work out, get things done around the house, and work on blog posts more!

Cream & Black 1.06.2015

 Sweater: Forever 21 (similar here (want!), here, or get on the waitlist for the exact one I'm wearing) | Pants: H&M | Hat: Prima Donna | Boots: Target (highly recommend) | Bag: H&M (similar) | Lips: 'Berry Haute' by Revlon

So, if I looks like I'm extremely cold, it's because I was! When I braved the great outdoors to snap this outfit, it was around 4 degrees out with the wind chill. Not exactly my favorite! It did make me realize that it's time to buy some cute gloves and/or mittens to wear in my outfit posts though :)

But onto the outfit... This outfit is really simple, but it's cozy and wearable for so many things! I'm in love with the striking pairing of cream and black right now too...

Weekend Cozy Casual 12.21.2014

 Cardigan: Forever 21 (still available in gray | very similar - both under $20 right now!) | Tee: Piko 1988 (15% off here w/ code 'happyholidays') | Jeans: Forever 21 (similar | nicer version for 50% off) | Hat: Sole Society (in black | similar in gray) | Booties: Forever 21 (love these new ones even more) (both are 30% off today!) | Watch: Fossil | Mrs. Necklace: Kate Spade

I'm back!! I've pretty much been out of commission for the past week and a half due to the flu and another virus (back to back...so rough), and there is no way in the world anyone would have wanted to see my face during that debacle. Anyways, I'm finally healthy minus coughing and some leftover exhaustion, but I was so excited to get out of the house for some errands and outfit pics yesterday.

I wore this comfy & warm look out for a casual date with Trey Friday night and then wore this cardigan again yesterday because it was so cozy (and burgundy is my favorite color at the moment)!

Casual Favorites 12.08.2014

 Sweater: Target (oversized; wearing size small) | Jeans: H&M | Boots: Vince Camuto via Nordstrom (30% off today!) | Hat: Prima Donna | Bag: H&M (similar) | Watch: Fossil (on sale here) | Bracelets: Margaret Elizabeth (in 'white druzy'), F21, Lily & Laura | Necklace: Rodi Boutique (similar) | Nails: Essie 'Fishnet Stockings' | Lips: L'Oreal 'Raisin Rapture'

Today I'm wearing one of my new favorite outfits, and I would probably wear this every day if I could get away with it. I wore this for Thanksgiving (sans hat), and then dressed it up for a church event last night with my hat and a pair of heeled booties. I lucked out and got my sweater on the clearance rack at Target and was so saddened to see that they are nearly sold out online! I would love to have probably every color in this, so I will be stalking the website for a restock haha. The good news is that they restocked a small in the color I'm wearing, and have one in a charcoal gray as well. I highly recommend it - it's so soft, hangs beautifully, and is soooo long!

Also, I added this Prima Donna stunner to my rapidly growing hat collection (I just counted and have now worn a hat in 5 straight blog posts - yikes). The quality is amazing for the price and that color... is the best.

Lastly, I wanted to share that my boots are 30% off today and a great price! As you've probably noticed, I wear these a ton and they're so comfortable and have that Stuart Weitzman look.

Cognac Booties 12.03.2014

 Top: J.Crew Factory (on sale!) | Jeans: Forever 21 (similar, better version here) | Booties: Elliott Lucca at Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor | Hat: Sole Society (similar | same hat in black) | Bag: H&M (similar here, here) | Watch: Fossil at Macy's / on sale here | Bracelets: Margaret Elizabeth, Lily and Laura | Lips: L'Oreal 'Raisin Rapture' | Nails: Essie 'Power Clutch'

I have been hunting for the perfect pair of cognac leather booties since late August, and I finally found them! I'm so so happy with this pair... The color is exactly what I wanted (light enough to easily wear with dark denim and black), the leather is really soft and looks great, and the heel height is perfect (high, but totally wearable). I've had so many outfits in mind to wear with cognac booties, and I love that they're technically a neutral, but honestly add a little bit of color and dimension to an outfit.

The tunic blouse I'm wearing happens to be on sale today, and I've found it's so great for both work and casual outfits (and layering)!

Fall Basics 11.26.2014

 Top: Target | Jeans: Forever 21 (similar) | Hat: Prima Donna | Booties: Target | Bag: H&M (similar here, here)

Two things... I've been wearing hats in pretty much every post lately, and you are all probably getting sick of them!! In my defense, my hair got snowed and rained on today, and I didn't particularly feel like re-curling it, so my hat came to the rescue ;) Secondly, I'm sorry for the very odd timing of this post. I had the day off of work but was so busy and hadn't had a chance to shoot photos this week until this afternoon. Hence the late post! But hey, better late than never :)

I know I've done a lot of casual posts lately, but I wanted to share this turtleneck sweater/sweatshirt and booties that I grabbed at Target the other night! I've been wanting a Chelsea style bootie, and was so impressed with the quality and comfort of these for the [great] price.

I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas 11.24.2014

Today I'm collaborating with the gorgeous and incredibly sweet Adry of Adry on the Daily to share some Thanksgiving outfit ideas! Fortunately, Trey's family gathers around lunchtime and my family does more of a dinner, so we get to spend time with both of our families and really enjoy the whole day :) Both of our families are pretty casual and laid-back, so a sweater, jeans and boots is pretty perfect! 

 Sweater: Target (sized up to a medium | tons of colors & all on sale!) | Jeans: H&M | Boots: Vince Camuto | Hat: Sole Society (sold out right now | similar, in black) | Bag: H&M (similar here, here) | Necklace: Urban Gems (via Rocksbox | couldn't find online-sorry!) | Watch: Fossil | Bracelets: F21, Lily and Laura | Ring: Gorjana | Lips: Revlon 'Berry Haute'

I just love the soft color of this sweater! It looks like this color is low on sizes online, but there are tons of cute colors (I kind of want another one haha)! I usually choose sweaters that are longer and looser, but I love the sophisticated, high-end look of this one, and it's perfect for work too.

xo,

Jacy
