If you get into a wardrobe funk like I do in January/February, Who What Wear's 30-Day Winter Wardrobe Challenge is here to help.  Some 'challenges' (i.e., tucking in your sweater) are so simple but make a big difference.  One of the challenges was to pair a feminine dress with over-the-knee boots.  I've worn this Free People tunic (which on me is a dress) on the blog here (paired with black booties and a boyfriend cardigan), here (paired with gladiator sandals), here (paired with chunky socks, wedge boots and a chunky cardigan) and here (paired with black booties and a purple fedora).  Four different ways of wearing one piece.  Now five.  I was surprised I had yet to wear this Free People tunic with over-the-knee boots and, although this tunic is one of my favourites, this 'challenge' made me excited to pull it back out again.  It's all about making those small changes and you can make an old favourite feel new again.

red & pink

Red and pink are not only my two favourite colours separately, but I love pairing them together (as seen on the blog for Valentine's Day before here).  I was not specifically shopping for Valentine's Day when I came across this Style Mafia Aris Top on Shopbop, but immediately fell in love with the ruffles, cutout shoulders and, of course, colour.  But since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, rather than styling this pretty red top with any pair of jeans, I styled it with these pink Paige jeans I bought a few years ago and pink flats.  I felt like a walking Valentine ha.  The great thing about this top is that you can dress it up (it would also look great with a pair of black jeans), or dress it down because it is a sweatshirt.  Yes, a sweatshirt.  A red, ruffled, cold shoulder sweatshirt.

Happy Valentine's Day!

yellow sweatshirt

{ZARA Knit Sweatshirt (sold out online, similar here);

GAP Jeans (similar here and here, high rise style here);
Brixton Alex Hat; Prada Sunglasses}

I love a bright sweater, especially in the winter, and yellow has been growing on me for the past couple of years.  Any pair of jeans would work, but I chose to tone down this bright yellow sweatshirt with greys.

#OOTD / sale sale sale

Happy Friday!  So, apparently winter is sticking around a bit longer.  I can't complain since it was too hot to shoot any outfits yesterday #thestruggleisreal.  The (probably one?) good thing about a longer winter is that you can buy the pair of boots/coat/sweater you've been eyeing on sale and still get a lot of use out of it.  J.Crew is having a great sale right now.  Because it's colder today, I was thisclose to ordering this Petite Majesty Peacoat (in Marigold because only a bright coat can put a smile on my face when it's cold out), but I've learned now living in the South that once the coat arrives it will most likely be too warm to wear it (I've already been tricked once this year).  It's a steal though under $75 right now (orig. $298)!  It comes in 4 colours and any of them would look great with this #OOTD.  This Sailor Stripe Funnelneck T-Shirt (above) is under $30.  If you're looking for something warmer, this Ribbed Relaxed Wool Turtleneck Sweater in Stripe looks SO cozy and is only $41.99.  

I've been looking for a darker pair of flared jeans and am eyeing these J Brand The Doll High Waist Bell Bottom Jeans (above), which are 20% off.  Michael Kors is having a great sale on shoes.  These MICHAEL Michael Kors Claire Embossed-Leather Ankle Boots (above) are SO pretty and currently 50% off!  These Pierce Lace-Up Suede Wedges are under $60(!) and can easily transition into spring with a floral dress and denim jacket.  This Rebecca Minkoff Mini Feed Bag (above) is 40% off and perfect for Valentine's Day and also for spring.

Happy Shopping!

cuddly AF

Happy first day of February!  Spring is just around the corner, but I find February to be the coldest month so February to me is all about comfort.  Yes, even on that holiday that people either love or hate: Valentine's Day.  If your jam is to dress up and go out, there's nothing wrong with that.  I personally loved celebrating Valentine's Day with my hubby the first year we were together and then I could not care less about celebrating it again ha.  It really is just another day and there's too much pressure for the day so try to just enjoy it!  If you're like me and prefer to just 'Netflix and Chill', Wildfox has the best sweaters for the occasion - for those who either love or hate the holiday (check out their collection here).  My favourites from the collection are this Cuddly AF Sommers Sweater and this Girlfriend Material Sommers Sweater.  And this Ugh, Couples Skater V Tee is funny AF.

pink pullover & patched denim

{Free People Drippy Extreme Pullover;

Free People Jeans (similar here and love these, shop more below);

Urban Outfitters Fedora (similar here);

This pullover is the perfect pullover for the weekend: cozy, cozy, cozy.  I bought these Free People patched jeans last year, but patched jeans (or patched denim anything) is still a big trend.  I've tagged a couple above and you can shop more of my favourites below!

#OOTD / blushing

Happy Friday!  It's been a lazy week this week with my hubby being away and the on and off rainy weather we've been getting.  So what better way to end the week with a head-to-toe pink outfit.  This #OOTD combines two things I love most when it comes to fashion: pink and monochrome.  I am obsessing over these Milly Trapunto Trousers!  (I also love these pink pants from ASOS and these Joe's Flawless Icon Ankle Skinny Jeans.)  This Topshop Oversize Turtleneck Sweater would go perfectly with these pants.  It looks SO cozy.  A cream turtleneck sweater would be my next choice.  Camel also looks great with pink.  J.Crew is currently having a great sale on sweaters.  I love this camel and pink cashmere turtleneck.  I also love this camel wool turtleneck sweater.  It also comes in burgundy and I love burgundy paired with pink.  Because I'm petite, I would most likely pair these wide-leg pants with heels, but my ideal shoe to continue the ease of this outfit would be to pair them with a pair of pink flats and, of course, adding a pink bag.

Happy shopping!
