Outfit of the Day: Lady Like in Lace

(Jeans-Banana Republic Outlet, Shoes-Banana Republic, top-Urban  Outfitters, Blazer-Martin and Osa)


I am so completely in love with this shirt. I got it on sale at Urban Outfitters right before Christmas thinking it would be adorable in the spring with some skinny boyfriend jeans and in the summer with jean shorts. Well I couldn't wait that long to wear it! I wore it for Christmas day and have been wearing it non-stop ever since.

Outfit of the Day: The Itchy Sweater

 (Sweater-JCrew, Jeans-Levi's, Boots-Frye)


I actually wore this outfit to class on Friday, today is Sunday so I'm living in yoga pants and an oversized sweatshirt.  This sweater is by far the itchiest sweater I own, I have to wear a long sleeved shirt under it every time I wear it, otherwise I break out into random fits of itching and jumping around.  But alas, it is one of my favorite sweaters.  I also actually didn't wear these boots for most of the day, they have a leather bottom and with the icy sidewalks that means I'm slipping and sliding all the way to class, so I had on my ugly snow boots, but I know you don't want to see those.  Oh the joys of living in the midwest.

Five Ways to Wear a Fur Vest

I bought this faux fur vest on super sale at Herberger's and when I got home, was like "How the heck am I going to wear this thing?"

I decided I would show you five outfits I styled with my vest.  It was surprisingly easy once I got started and is going to become a staple piece in my winter wardrobe!


This first look is probably my favorite.  It would be perfect for a day of shopping or a casual lunch or dinner date.

This look is playing with a lot of trends, the vest, sequins, and flared jeans.  I decided to wear my hair up so it wouldn't take away from the sequin top and vest.  I love this outfit for dinner and drinks.

I am in love with sweater tights and high heeled oxfords! I decided to go with the blue dress to add a little more color to this look.  A fur vest and sweater tights are a perfect way to make your summer dresses winter appropriate!

I love this look for a night out! I decided to go plain on the bottom with skinny black pants and heels, and a sheer white top with the vest on top.  To add to a night out look I wore my hair in a top knot and put on big earrings.

This final look will be perfect for class. It's super cute and comfortable but the vest adds a little style to the look.  I kept things pretty simple, people tend to stare when you get super dressed up for class, I think their mouths with drop just due to the fur vest.
