Look at all of the lovely little details in this outfit!! This outfit is a blend of a lot of my favorite fashion trends. I love the pattern and texture mixing. I love the contrast of masculine colors with feminine touches like sequins and sparkle! While I would love to say that this outfit was purely done for fashion reasons, the truth is that I cannot have enough layers on lately.
There is just something so polished about layering neutrals. I love this cozy neutral colored sweater that I picked up from Loft a while back. It feels like you are wrapping yourself in a warm wool blanket (an absolute necessity in Chicago right now)!
I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday!! As we are getting ready to start a new year, I find myself thinking about what 2014 will have in store for me. In all honesty, 2013 was not the best year that I have ever had and am pretty happy for a fresh start. It was a year off great loss for my husband and I and it was a year that taught me that there are many things in life that are far beyond my control. 2013 will also be the year that taught me that we are never guaranteed anything in life.
This is my “snow cat” look! I love this cocoon coat from Old Navy paired with my Forever 21 cat hat. The coat has a classic feel to it and the cat hat gave it a bit of fun!
This post involved more sloppy mess here in the city of Chicago! I ended up wearing snow boots because I was afraid that I would slip and fall in the boots that I had originally planned to wear. I will be the first to admit that I have sacrificed comfort from time to time in the name of fashion, but this winter is kicking my butt already
