December 2014 Week One Recap

We are officially into December and counting down the days until Christmas. I've been trying to dress up a little more and wear some holiday-themed outfits just for fun. Sometimes I am feeling it and sometimes I am not. I always want to have fun with my outfits though so sometimes I take risks or wear things that others might not think they can pull off. I always say that fashion is what you wear but style is how you wear it. I like to stand out but in a good way. 

Here's my recap for the week: 

Monday- I have to admit that I love this outfit. I wore this last year too and it was one of my faves! It just seems so warm and cozy to me! 



Faux Fur Vest- Banana Republic (last year)
Plaid Shirt and Sweater- Old Navy (last year)
Jeans- Eloquii (summer this year)
Boots- DSW (old)
Handbag- Jordana Paige (new- still available- click on link in blog)
Bracelets- J Crew Factory (summer this year)

Tuesday- I took a tweed skirt I got on major clearance a while back and mixed it with layers for this day's look. 

Skirt- JCPenney (old)
Sweater- Loft (old)
Shirt- J Crew Factory (summer this year)
Shoes- Kohls (last year)
Handbag- Jordana Paige ( new-still available- click on link in blog)
Bangles- Jet Chic Army Candy and Lilly and Ivory (available online)
Necklace- Viva La Jewels (available online)

Wednesday- This was a fun outfit as I am loving the faux fur trend! A warm and cozy snood from Target was the perfect accessory for this outfit! Bonus: this is the fifth way I have worn this dress this year! 



Dress- Gap (spring this year)
Shirt- Joe Fresh via JCPenney (old)
Faux fur snood- Target (recent)
Shoes- JCrew Factory (last year)
Pearl bracelet- Loft (summer this year)
Black bracelet- Style This Life (available on etsy shop)

Thursday- This was my favorite holiday look this week! My husband thought I was crazy wearing the sweater with the pants but I liked it! I wasn't sure if I would like the plaid pants, but I really do! I'm going to try to wear these a couple of more ways as well before Christmas. 



Pants- Old Navy (recent)
Sweater- Old Navy (last year)
Blouse- JCrew (last year)
Shoes- JCrew Factory (recent)
Pearl bracelet- Loft (summer this year)
Navy bracelet- JCrew Factory (summer this year)
Mug- Anthropologie (last year- but available again online this year)

Friday-I didn't take a great picture on this day but it pretty  much sums it up and shows the whole look. I love this sweater and refuse to wear it only on Wednesday just because it has a camel on it! 


Sweater and Vest-JCrew Factory (vest last year and sweater this year)
Tee- Loft (old)
Jeans- Lane Bryant (old)
Boots- Charming Charlie (old)
Purse- Jordana Paige ( this is the front of the bag that doubles as a clutch!)

Saturday- I'm wearing my typical Saturday "uniform" which is jeans, a sweater, boots and a vest. Comfortable outfit for a busy day. 
Vest- Land's End (last year)
Sweater- Ann Taylor (summer this year)
Jeans- Eloquii (summer this year)
Boots- DSW (old)
Pearl Necklace- JCrew Factory (old)
Bangles- Jet Chic Arm Candy (available online in etsy shop)

Sunday- I wrote about this look in my latest Sunday Style post. It's a great look for dressing up a little on a budget since everything is from Target! 

There's my recap for the week! Do you find that you're dressing up more festive for the holidays? I think it's a great time of year since it's acceptable to wear lots of bright colors and patterns and sequins! 

Thanks for reading and following along with me!

    I adore dressing up and this time of year, I love doing it. Living in a beach town, people do not dress up much and I always feel like I stick out like a sore thumb, but I really don't care. I typically go with color upon color, print upon print, baubles upon baubles. I love all your looks and that you put so much effort into your outfits. Taking risks can lead to good things! Side note: my husband has a camel hump day t shirt that he insists on wearing every Wednesday. I am not joking. He just waits to hear people's reactions. And if he does not get any, he is disappointed.

Sunday Style: Green

Image
Green is my favorite color. I think it brings out the color in my eyes and it looks great with my skin tone.There's lots of sayings with green in them too. Give the green light. Green thumb. Going green. (Make no mistake- I didn't say Go Green- that's for all you Spartan fans out there). Green around the gills. Green with envy- well, don't be green with envy but I am sitting here in sunny Florida enjoying the warm weather and time with family and friends... This green dress has been hanging in my closet for a while but this was the first time that I got it out. I scored it on a major sale but just haven't had a chance to wear it. I always say why wait for a special occasion?  What I love most about this dress is the neckline. I tell you all the time that it's hard for me to wear a straight skirt or dress and this is no exception. I like the look of it but I do think I'll spend a few more dollars and have it tailored a little more. I paired nude pumps...

Sunday Style: JJ’s House

Image
It’s been said in various ways that clothes don’t make the person, the person makes the clothes. I believe this to be exceptionally true in this beautiful dress that I am wearing in today’s post! This dress literally made me wish that I was heading out to the opera or a benefit dinner. I love that I get to wear and model a lot of clothes and some just feel more special than others. This dress was custom made for me so I got all the feels while I was zipping it up and looking in the mirror. It fits like a glove and I could not be more in love with it!  Let’s talk about  JJ’s House  for a minute. They have all sorts of dresses for special occasions, including bridal wear! I picked out a dress and did my measurements and sent them in with my order. They even called me once to make sure that my measurements were correct so they made sure to make the dress correctly!  This  dress  has gorgeous nude tulle with a black lace overlay. I literally felt like a princes...
