Today's Everyday Fashion: The Leopard Belt

/





































This, ladies, is why I love belts so much. Amazing how such a small print can make such a big impact! And the belt actually cinches in the blazer and creates a new shape. Have you ever worn a belted blazer?

Today's Everyday Fashion: Oldie but a Goodie

/





































I overslept this morning and in a rush to get out the door I threw on one of my favorite outfits - an oldie but a goodie. I used to wear this outfit a lot when I lived in Boston. This sweater is deceivingly warm - it might not have sleeves but it's super-thick and is like its own little furnace! (turned out to be a little to hot for today's weather even)

What outfit do you turn to in a pinch?

Occasion: Church and Christmas shopping
Sweater: Gap, $40
Belt: Gap, $40
Jeans: True Religion, $145
Bootes: Frye
Purse: Juicy Couture/Neiman Marcus Last Call, $115

Today's Everyday Fashion: The Rocker Tee

I'd like to introduce you to one of my favorite shopping/errands outfits. I love the unique shape of this rocker tee I picked up at Forever 21 a couple months ago. The epitome of stylish and comfy at the same time!

Occasion: Shopping/errands
Shirt: Forever 21, $18
Tank top: Forever 21, $3
Belt: Gap, $3
Jeans: American Eagle, $33
Boots: Forever 21, $33

Today's Everyday Fashion: Tweed Trousers

/





































Don't you love it when you hold onto something and it winds up coming in handy? I bought these tweed trousers more than 5 years ago, and I immediately got them out of "storage" (our guest room) when I saw this picture of Charlize Theron on FabSugar.com. Her pants are a bit more modern with a skinny leg and some pleating, but I decided to re-create the look with a navy silk shirt and black boyfriend blazer. Work appropriate and comfy, I love!

Occasion: Work
Black blazer: Express
Blue silk shirt: Banana Republic, $50
Pants: American Eagle
Earrings: Urban Outfitters, $5
Watch: Fossil
Boots: Forever 21, $33

I'm wearing a size S, but  couldn't quite zip it up all the way so I would definitely need to size up. The dress also has pockets, which I love. :-)

Which dress should I wear?

/

































I'm making my first TV appearance tomorrow night and I need your help deciding which look to wear! I'm being interviewed about my blog on Orlando LIVE at 9pm ET (on Sunday 11/28). You can watch the whole show at this link! Here are my choices:

1. Gold sequins and a blazer. I love this look, just not sure how comfy it would be. And I'm going to need to locate some double-sided tape. :-)
2. I recently picked up this dress at H&M for $25 and think it's perfect for this occasion, but let me know what you think?
3. Playing it safe in my favorite black dress and some fun accessories.

I'll be standing up the whole time. Which one should I wear?

Fabulous Finds: Black Friday Haul

/

















I wound up braving the mall this afternoon just long enough to pop into New York & Company. Their 50% off everything promo was just too good not to pass up! Here's what I got:

1. Black sequin shirt, $22
I wound up returning the Forever 21 shirt from this post, which is good because this shirt is more flattering AND cheaper. Love!
2. Gold skirt, $25
I know, I know. You guys are probably sick of seeing gold sequins. BUT the skirt is so beautiful in person and the price was too good to pass up!
3. Peach cardigan, $24
So cute in person! Looks like it came from J.Crew.
4. Gold belt, $10
This belt looks awesome with the peach cardigan. Great price too!

Today's Everyday Fashion: Happy Thanksgiving!

/


Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We are headed to the fam's house for a massive amount of food and fun. I choose this outfit because it's comfortable/I can cook in it, the fall colors feel festive to me and because the shirt will hide my "food baby." :-) Hope you all have a wonderful day with your family and friends!

Today's Everyday Fashon: Lots of Layers

/





































The beauty - or the downfall - of this outfit, depending on how you look at it, is that it contains many layers. A plaid button-up, a v-neck sweater with another cardigan sweater layered on top. Perfect for a chilly occasion, I might even wear this camping? (okay, I probably wouldn't be caught dead camping...) Where would you wear it?

V-neck: American Eagle, $30
Plaid shirt: Forever 21, $20

Fabulous Find

/

























Say hello to my new Juicy Couture purse! I purchased it for $115 a couple weeks ago at Neiman Marcus Last Call when they were doing an in-store promotion. It's $136 online right now, which is still a great deal. The strap can be adjusted to wear it cross-body or as a short shoulder-strap. This is a big purchase for me since I only buy one handbag a year, but it's way better in person and I couldn't resist the great deal! :-)
