A Holiday Mart Look

Blazer: Land's End (fun option); T-Neck: Ann Taylor (similar); Jeans: Loft (50% off); 

Boots: Rockport (similar); Handbag: Pour la Victoire (similar); All Jewelry: Stella & Dot; 

Shades: Karen Walker via Gilt (similar)

A couple of weekends ago, I attended a Holiday Mart as a vendor for Stella & Dot. I really wanted to look the part, without being overly dressy, so I reached for my most festive blazer! It's the perfect mix of holiday colors without being in your face Christmas! I think it would be darling over a simple dress for a holiday party or with winter white pants to add a little pop of color! Honestly, I can't wait to style it more over the next month!

The Holiday Mart took place at a local elementary school, so I knew it would be a more casual event. But you know me, I still love to dress up! I went with skinny jeans and a simple t-neck to keep the focus on the blazer. And the flat boots were definitely the way to go! Lugging all my stuff to and from the car would have been disastrous in another heel height. And these are the MOST comfortable boots I have ever own! I never thought that I would wear, let alone own, a pair of Rockport boots. I underestimated them! They are chic and comfortable and I will be living in them this winter! (Last seen here.)

 

  

I love this subtle statement necklace. A subtle statement necklace sounds like such an oxymoron, but it's true. It's not over-the-top. Just simple elegance. And, it can be worn five different ways. That's right, five ways!! Check it out here!

 

What do you go for when dressing for the holidays but not wanting to look like a walking billboard for Christmas? I guess it's officially the holidays with the Thanksgiving weekend coming to an end! Our house is 75% ready. Just a few more things, and maybe another tree, to arrange. I do love this time of year!

Happy Monday, Fashionista's!

A Little Weekend Grunge

Flannel Shirt: Target (similar); Tee: Boden; Jeans: Loft (similar); Booties: Sole Society;

Necklace: Tiffany; Shades: Target; Lip Color: NARS Heat Wave

I love dressing up, but I also love dressing down. Way down! Do you ever have one of those days where you just want a little grunge, but on the chic side? Well, that's this look for me! Sure, it's not lace and fur, but a little flannel, mixed prints, and fun booties dress up my grungy look! And it's perfect for these chillier fall days!

The Stripe Tee: Before and After

    

 

Here's to Friday and fun filled weekend! Hope it's a fabulous one, Fashionista's! I hope to be back in full form next week!

Mad for Plaid

Scarf: T.J. Maxx (similar/25% off); Tee: Target; Scarf: Aldo; Boyfriend Jeans: LOFT (similar);

Wedges: Farylrobin (similar); Shades: MbyMJ

My newest obsession, aside from the flared satchels I blogged about yesterday, is plaid! I order this blanket scarf the other day and then found this infinity scarf over the weekend. They are polar opposites, but must-haves for fall and winter! I'm thinking of ways to style it with dresses, striped sweaters, my puff vests, and winter coats. It's a versatile piece with a big punch!

It was a very chilly fall day yesterday and I was originally hesitant to wear a wool sweater. I am so glad I did! Paired with a beloved pair of boyfriend jeans and wedges that I adore, I was able to ward off the cold even if this look was cool in style.

The Sweater: Before and After

   

 

What is your go-to piece for a chilly fall day? Is it a chunky wool sweater, a thick scarf, or both? I am a girl who loves options, especially when I wear them all at once!
