I wore this outfit to brunch this past Sunday (Bloody Mary bar, ummm yummm) and I loved it because it was comfy and casual yet the faux fur and soft sweater made me feel put together. We snapped these pictures on the way downtown and it was so, so windy! We barely got any that I could even use because everytime I stood up my hair blew across my face and I looked like a hot mess. Ha!
However–I am in love with both these mules and this sweater so I had to share. I feel like I would be doing a disservice to you all if I didn’t let you know how perfect this sweater is. It is SUCH a good basic to have and so soft. I got it in two colors on Saturday and I wore one that night, one to brunch the next day and even threw one back on to wear on Monday all day. So, needless to say–it’s worth the $20. Ha! [wearing a small]
Also, totally crushing on these mules with faux fur inside. Heaven on your feet! If you order I would suggest sizing up. [wearing an 8]
Hope you all are having a good week and have some fun Valentine’s Day plans! I think Ethan and I are going to wait and celebrate this weekend while we’re in Charleston & I cannot wait!
I’ve been trying to be really good this week and eat healthy and go to barre classes and it feels SO good to be back in the swing of things. However–I may have had a couple glasses of wine and some fried calimari AND some sushi last night. I don’t even regret it either. It’s all about balance, right?!
Ok, on to this cardigan that I am LOVING. It’s perfect to layer a long sleeve tee (you need this one) under now and I’m also planning to wear a silk cami under it soon. [wearing a xs/s]
I threw on this outfit to go downstairs at our hotel when we were in Miami to grab coffee. It was a rainy, cloudy day but it was kind of nice! I also wore a similar version of this outfit on the plane when we were traveling. Comfort is key, right?!
We just got back from a quick weekend trip to Chicago (stay tuned for a full travel diary post) and we had the best time. And I over-packed. Shocker. I just can’t help myself when we are driving somewhere though–it’s like you don’t have to worry about your suitcase being overweight for the flight so why not just bring that extra pair of shoes just in case, right?! However, for this trip I am really glad that my new Uggs made it into my bag. I know you might be thinking, “Wait, Uggs? We’re wearing those again?” and for me, the answer is definitely yes. Uggs are just way to comfy & cozy & easy to pass up. And honestly I never stopped wearing mine. I got two pairs of the classic tall Uggs in college and I have worn them ever since.
That being said, it was time for me to grab a new pair. I decided half way through the Winter last year that I would buy a new pair when this Fall rolled around. I settled on the Classic Mini II because I have never had a shorter pair and I thought they would be really quick to pull on during the weekends and when running errands. [I sized up and got an 8]
Here are a few of the other pairs that I like and considered getting. Any of these would make a great Christmas gift, whether that be to someone on your list or just for yourself! 😉
Saturday we got up early and did several shoots and even shot a little video for you all. After we wrapped all of that up, we headed to grab coffee and I threw on my Uggs and beanie to keep warm. (We decided to walk to get some steps in instead of talking an Uber.) On the way down the street I said to Ethan, “I really do feel like I’m walking around on little mini clouds” and he just rolled his eyes at me and laughed–but I was serious! && speaking of, if you have a pair that you’ve worn for a while and they are starting to feel a tad less cloud-like then you can snag a replacement insole. I didn’t know they sold these until I was writing this post for you all, but how genius? I’m going to order some for my older pairs.
I am not a huge fan of hotel floors and I don’t really like to be barefooted on the carpet so I usually try to throw in my slippers if I have room in my suitcase. But since I was packing these mini Uggs already I just used them for the same purpose. I threw them on when we sat around and had a glass of wine in the room after arriving Friday night and I also wore them after I got out of the shower in the mornings when I was putting on make up and curling my hair.
A few side notes about the rest of my outfit too:
BEANIE I am obsessed with the texture & the large size of the pom-pom on top! Plus it’s a steal at under $30. Comes in other colors too.
PONCHO I had been searching for a good poncho and I love that this one is long enough to throw on with leggings.
TEE I am SO happy I found this long sleeve tee. It’s the perfect length. Everyone should have a white and black in their closet–especially since they’re under $20. [wearing a small]
JEANS My faves. If you don’t have black jeans… GET SOME! [wearing a size 25]
SUNGLASSES I have been wearing these Quay High Key sunglasses non-stop. I love that they are over-sized!
Hope your week is going well and moving right along! I have a busy one ahead so I think Friday will be here before I know it!
Ethan and I are headed to Chicago this evening to spend the weekend there and I am so excited. It’s been a while since I have been to the city and I can’t wait to do a little exploring with my favorite travel partner. Be sure to follow along on my Instastory–I’ll be sharing parts of our trip on there all weekend.
We snapped these photos last weekend when we tried a new (to us) coffee shop in Lexington, Broomwagon. I couldn’t help but throw on my favorite black denim and adidas superstar sneaks–perfect weekend wear in my book.
&& how cute are the zippers on this sweater?! I LOVE. The material is an A+ too because it’s so soft. FYI, it also comes in a grey, muted blue & olive. I ordered mine in a 4 US (fits like 0-2).
