It’s no secret that I am not a big fan of winter.  I hate being cold!  My winter wardrobe game plan is always to stock up on cozy, warm, and comfy sweaters that are also cute.  I found this sweater at the Nordstrom Sale over the weekend.  I was drawn to the stripes, but when I saw the brand I knew I had to try it on.  It is the same brand as my white tee from this post.  The tee is soft and comfy, and this striped tee holds to that same soft and cozy feel.  I like the kind of distressed look around the necklace and the bottom of the top.  This top is going to perfect for lounging around the house or to toss on for some errand running.  I originally grabbed a small, but it was way too big.  I ended up going with the XS which is still nice and roomy.   I am definitely going to have to keep an eye on the Stem brand at Nordstrom for some future wardrobe adds.

This bag has been on my current cravings list for months!!  It was an unexpected Christmas gift, and I am so excited to finally own it.  I really wanted a tote like this one for traveling and conferences.  I love that is reversible with the other color being black.  It comes in a few other color options, including this set that is on sale!

If any bloggers out there are looking for a fun blog conference, Thrive Blog Conference is happening at the end of February in Houston.  Well technically The Woodlands, but almost Houston.  I am attending again this year and cannot wait for a fun networking and learning weekend!  This was the first blog conference I ever attended, and I made some amazing blog friendships and learned lots of valuable info that I still use today in my blog.  You can read more about my experience last year here or you can visit the conference site here.

They are here!! Remember when I mentioned my new OTK boots I ordered, they arrived last week!!  I can’t wait to wear these boots this winter.  I hope you were able to grab a pair when I first mentioned them, because they are sold out again.  It probably has something to do with the sweet under $100 price tag.  These boots are definitely a super trendy item, and not something I was ready to spend $200+ on.   It is always my thought process with trendy items.  What if it’s a one hit wonder trend or what if I decide it’s not for me?  My first pair of skinny jeans cost me like $20 when they were the hot new trend, and now I own like half a dozen or more pairs.   Anyway, these over the knee boots are pretty fabulous for the price.  One thing I wasn’t expecting was how tight they fit.   They are not an uncomfortable tight, more of a these aren’t going to fall down kind of tight.  These have a bootie at the base and the boot shaft is more added on material.  I think it helps give some structure to the ankle area of the boot.  The two main ways I plan to wear them is with dresses and skinny jeans.  I’m short, so I have to keep an eye on the length of what I pair them with.  This chunky knit sweater is the perfect tunic length for me.  If I go to long with the top, the proportions will be off and I may come off looking shorter.  If you are wearing a longer top, you may want to consider tucking it in.

I just picked up this sweater this weekend, while doing some New Year’s day shopping.  The color caught my eye immediately.  The knit is a mix of red, coral, and white.  It stood out among the sea of gray, blue, and black.  Don’t get me wrong, you know I love those colors, but I also like to grab new colors too.   It brings a little color versatility to my wardrobe.  I like this shade because I think it is going to work well with a few other colors  to give me some good versatility.  I hope ya’ll had a fun long weekend!  Thanks for stopping by today!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  I hope you all had a fabulous night whether you went out or stayed in.  I am so excited for this relaxing day off with plans to cook up some black eyed peas and cabbage later today, and finish off some leftover Champagne from last night. Hello New Year mimosas!

This outfit was one that I had originally planned to wear for Christmas, but it was too warm for a sweater.  I love layering, and this red sweater and light top work perfect together. Shorter sweaters are perfect basic winter layering pieces.  I own a few different styles in different colors.  You can layer them with solids or prints to create multiple outfits all season.  I have paired this one with plaid here.   I also pair my sweaters with sleeveless tunics and tanks that I wore during the summer.  It’s a great way to keep wearing some of your favorite sleeveless tops when it’s cold out.

I hope ya’ll have a great first day of 2016!  Thanks for swinging by today!

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and long weekend!  I had so much fun hanging with family Thursday and Friday, and then being a little bit lazy this past weekend.   I updated the In My closet section of my shop page over the weekend to include a few of the new items I received for Christmas.  I also picked up these OTK boots yesterday!  I’m super excited because they were sold out over the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales weekend.  I have been checking for them to come back in stock, and they finally did this weekend!!  I cannot wait for them to arrive, and of course share some fun styling ideas with you guys.  I wanted a pair with a heel because I love wearing the over the knee boots in this post, but they have a more casual vibe to them.  One of my favorite ways to style these flat OTK boots is with a cute dress.  This Lush swing dress is the perfect length to pair with these boots.  I wear this dress all the time, and I’m always looking for a new way to style it.  A few weeks ago, we had a nice fall day, and I decided to add on this sweater vest.  I added this cozy sweater vest to my closet at the end of summer, and I have been waiting for some cooler weather to wear it.  The vest and dress hang at about the same length which gives this look a cozy, but still put together feel to it.

I cannot believe we are in the final week of 2015!  This year definitely seemed to fly by!  Check back Wednesday because I am sharing some of my top outfit posts of the year!!
