Sweater Dress 11.10.2014

 Sweater dress: H&M (old, similar here, here, want this one) | Boots: Vince Camuto (25% off!) | Leggings: Express (30% off) | Hat: Prima Donna | Bag: H&M (similar here, here) | Necklace: Forever 21 (similar here, here) | Watch: Fossil | Bracelets: Margaret Elizabeth, Lily and Laura

This little sweater dress is from last year, but I couldn't wait to pull it out again with the cooler weather. I've worn it before with tights and heeled booties, but this was a fresh way to wear it more casually with leggings, boots and a hat (inspired by Alyson at Sequins & Things)! My black hat is a new find from Prima Donna and I'm so excited about it! There were several more expensive black hats that I had on my wish list, so I was so pleased to find this one for such a great price (just $25). Now I'm thinking of adding the burgundy and camel to round out my collection.

Annnddd, my amazing Vince Camuto boots that I want to wear every single day are 25% off right now at Nordstrom! I'm so happy with them and they look so much like the 50/50's that are out of most of our price ranges. (I've also linked 4 additional similar options below).

Casual Spots 10.22.2014

 Cardigan: H&M (love this one! more here and here) // Jeans: H&M in 'denim blue' (similar) // Tank: J.Crew Factory // Flats: Franco Sarto via TJ Maxx (similar) // Hat: Sole Society // Bag: H&M (similar) // Necklace: boutique find (similar) // Watch: Fossil // Bracelets: Margaret Elizabeth, Lily and Laura // Lips: Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain in 'Crush' 

Today I'm wearing a new favorite casual outfit that is definitely becoming one of my go-to's. I'd wanted a leopard cardigan for ages but wanted one that was more subtle, so this one was the perfect solution. Unfortunately it's no longer online but I've linked to some really cute similar ones above and below.

I have to be honest and say that I styled a different outfit around this cardigan that I had planned to post yesterday... It was one of those situations where I came up with the idea a few weeks ago and wrote it down and then didn't have time to actually try it on before packing it up for photos after work (terrible idea)...and let me tell ya...it was disastrous (way too much black)! I hate when an outfit seems awesomely chic and fashion-forward in your head and then ends up making you look like a total weird-o haha. Anywho, I scrapped that post and posted a day late in order to post an outfit I actually love! And hopefully you agree that it was worth it :)

xo,

October Wish List 10.20.2014

Gigi New York Uber Clutch

Brina Box Blanket Scarf (lots more options below)

H&M Sweater

Sole Society Wool Panama Hat

H&M Coated Ankle Zip Jeans (also have in 'denim blue')

Forever 21 Cognac Booties

I just wanted to share some trends I've been loving and pieces I'm hoping to add to my closet soon! I'm holding myself to a very limited shopping budget this month (unless I find the right pea coat), so I'm doing some careful planning, sale watching and making a few sacrifices.

I actually already bought the ankle zip jeans (in both the coated black & the denim blue) and they're amazing! They honestly look and feel so expensive (thank you H&M) and are comfortable and sleek (but they are very fitted, so go up a size). I love ankle length jeans because they're so easy to wear with booties (you don't have to worry about cuffing and bunching at all), and the zipper detail adds some nice edge! To be honest, I really wanted these cognac booties, but I think in order to get in on the trend and maintain my budget I'm going to settle for the faux leather pair above. I really want black and burgundy wool panama hats, and this is my favorite I've found, so I'm going to be watching for a Sole Society sale. Blanket scarves may be even bigger this year than last, so I'm hoping to get the one above or one of the ones from Asos below (I've also seen them on Groopdealz a couple of times as well). Last but not least, I won't be splurging on that gorgeous Gigi New York clutch just yet, but until then it will remain on my wish list.

xo,

Jacy
