Casually Unexpected

Casually Unexpected

 

I have been wanting to put a day look together with this thrifted blue tweed mini-skirt. 

The skirt's potential functionality inspired me. You could very easily dress it up,

 but my vision for the skirt was more of a street look. Something a bit more casual and unexpected.

I paired the mini with a pajama style top. It has a laid back fit but the black and white stripes

keep it chic. I mentioned in a previous post that a pajama style top is an effortless way to look put together. 

This look was all about contrasts from the different textures of the two pieces, the top is a thin chiffon material and the mini is tweed, to the color combo. I love how the black and white stripes work with the mixed blue of the mini. It works because blue, in my eyes, is a pop of color but pairs like a neutral.

Embrace the Cold

Embrace The Cold

…or at least know how to deal with it

Winter can be brutal, but I refuse to lock myself inside.

 I'd rather bundle up and spend a day off exploring Philly.

I did exactly that when a few inches of snow

 got me out of classes for the day.

The key to surviving winter is to layer… and invest

 in a thick faux fur coat that makes you

 feel like you should be in Aspen or Moscow.

Then find a warm pair of faux fur boots that can

withstand the snow and slush. Also, they add a bit of

edge to your look. It's a win-win!

Casual Oxfords

Casual Oxfords

I managed to score these vampy wine

 hued oxfords during a great sale

 at Lord and Taylor's

...and I am definitely obsessed!

For a casual look I paired the shoes 

with some blue jeans and a sweater. 

I kept the colors neutral to help 

the shoes and fuzzy purse charm pop.

P.S. the shoes did gave me a horrible blister and shooting this post was so painful :( but they are worth the pain!
