STRANGE CHANGES

Madewell Turtleneck // Piperlime Skirt, Similar // J.Crew Flats // Asos Coat, Similar, Similar, Similar

For some reason I will never forget the year I turned 10 and someone gave me a gift card to Nordstrom.  I was so incredibly excited to go the mall and get to pick out my own outfit.  I remember the specific outfit I picked out too.  I chose leggings with small printed mice all over them, a matching turtleneck and sweatshirt with a giant mouse applique on the front.  I wore that outfit and I thought I was so cool.

Naturally, time progressed and I no longer thought that outfit was the coolest thing I'd seen and turtlenecks (especially printed ones) became a thing of the past.  I truly never thought I would wear a turtleneck again, but then I found this one from Madewell.  It's boxy which, as I'm sure you all know by now, is something I'm always a fan of.  I have to say, my opinions about turtlenecks may have changed.  There is just something so chic and unexpected about this turtleneck to me.  Maybe I will even come around to matching turtleneck sets, just don't hold me to it!

BLACK ON BLACK

Zara Top // J.Crew Jeans (on sale!) // J.Crew Heels // Madewell Bag // Anthropologie Bracelet // J.Crew Link Bracelet

Some days just call for an all black ensemble.  The exact day was Thanksgiving, and it wasn't an oversight.  A day full of eating calls for a slimming outfit, so all black it was!  Of course there's still room for a little leopard.  

Can we talk for a minute about these jeans?  They are simply the best.  Soft, fitted, don't stretch out and they're under fifty bucks.  If I didn't just sell you on these guys then I don't know what will.  

ALL DOLLED UP

J.Crew Dress // J.Crew Necklace // J.Crew Shoes // Madewell Bag

This time of year always calls to dress up any occasion (obviously).  That's why having a closet stocked with party dresses and a makeup bag full of lipstick is an absolute must.  I added this one to my collection recently and I'm so glad that I did.  I don't generally go for a drop waist hem but this one happened to fit perfectly (I did a petite)!

What's your go-to when your getting dressed up?

Keeping it short and sweet today because there isn't much to be said about a black and white combo.  Have a great weekend!
