Camel

Coat: In grey Here Sweater: Topshop Jeans: Garage Shoes: old-Similar here Purse: Rebecca Minkoff

         This week was all about being comfortable (well maybe minus the high heels), so I put together an outfit of some of my go to pieces. These jegging jeans from garage are not only one of the most comfortable pieces that I own, but the fact that they cost me $44.90 is pretty hard to beat. I added a black sweater by Topshop with a silk ruffle detail at the hem, which I love because it adds a little something extra to what could be just another black sweater. Then I topped it with this great Ralph Lauren reefer coat I bought last year from The Bay during an after holiday season clearance sale. This outfit could easily be worn with a pair of riding boots for a more day time look if you aren't one for doing errands in a heel. My tip of the week is to never underestimate what a heel can do for you, its easy to transition a daytime outfit to evening with just a simple shoe change. Happy shopping, XO

       When the weather starts to get cold it is easy to wear a pair of jeans and a sweater everyday. I have a severe love of dresses and its actually what I am most comfortable in, if I could wear a dress everyday I would! This is why I opted for this mid length dress that keeps you warm but looks super cute. Its also an ideal length for anyone who is not super keen on showing off their legs. Thankfully midi skirts and dresses are everywhere right now so next time your shopping try one on. Happy shopping, XO

Skirt: Forever 21 (old) Similar here Sweater: Target Vest: Target Hat: Old Similar here Purse: Tory Burch Boots: Vince Camuto Watch: Armani Exchange 

        My shopping tip of the week is to go look at lower budget stores for your trendy pieces in case they go out of style after one season. There is an identical vest to this one at Club Monaco for $198.50, whereas I purchased this at Target for $34.99. If you are going to spend a lot of money on one item, I always recommend buying a great pair of jeans or a pair of riding boots that you will get a lot of use out of. When you think about it, we all spend extra money on a fancy party dress we only wear twice, but cant rationalize spending that same amount of money on a pair of jeans we will wear 3 times a week. Think smart when you're shopping this week, XO

Leather and Lace

 Dress: Nastygal similar here Leggings: Old Similar Here Jacket: S.O.S SImilar here Clutch: Shoppers drug mart Shoes: Sam Edleman. Sunglasses: Farmfresh

Whenever someone asks me what types of clothing I prefer or about my style, I am never sure what to say. I have always considered myself a bit of a chameleon, everyday my outfit is different depending on how I am feeling that morning. Sometimes I want to be the ultimate girly girl and wear a beautiful dress and feminine jewelery, and then other days like today I want something a little more edgy and choose a pair of leather leggings and a moto style jacket. I wanted to make the outfit a little softer so I opted for this white swing dress with lace detailing.  The moral of the story today is that you shouldn't put yourself in a box when it comes to personal style, try something different next time you go into a store, or the next time you are shopping and you see something and think " This looks like something ___ would wear" try it on for yourself, you might just find a new piece that can spice up your wardrobe. Happy shopping. XO,
