I'm not sure about the weather where you are located, but around here it is still very much sweater season.

So I am still rockin' sweaters most days around the house or to the office.

I was swiping through Pinterest as I do most nights before I fall asleep and came across this super cute sweater look.

I loved everything about it!

And I knew I had quite a few similar pieces that I could use to recreate it.

Sweater - Similar

Pants

Booties - Similar

Scarf - Similar

My mustard sweater is almost identical to the one from Pink Lily in the photo above.

I paired it with some skinny dress pants since I was heading into the office on this particular day.

I swapped out the suede booties (since it was rainy and wet) for a pair of buckle ones that I haven't worn in forever!

Threw on my cheetah print scarf and I felt great about this look!

What do you think?

Another option would have been to pair my mustard cardigan with a leopard/cheetah print top underneath, some dark skinny denim, and those suede booties.

Now it's your turn!

Today is a 2 for 1 post!

I'm linking up with Shay & Erika to share some of my winter wardrobe, as well has sharing my latest PinSpiration look.

While this winter hasn't been too bad (🙏 that Phil is correct and spring comes early),

it still has been cold enough here in Ohio for my go-to winter jacket.

I bought this hooded camo jacket a couple of years ago from Abercrombie and it has been one of the best investments I have ever made!

Underneath that jacket has been just about every sweater I own! lol!

When I'm not at work, I am throwing on sweatshirt.

I recently picked up a bunch of leggings from Old Navy and Walmart, so I'm living in those outside of work as well.

Now onto my PinSpiration outfit of the week!

These shoes!

Katy shared these sneakers (only $19!) as a dupe for the pricier Adidas version.

I knew I had items that could easily recreate her look.

Performance Jacket - Similar

Camo Jacket - Similar
Leggings - Currently on sale for $9

But I wasn't done there.

I wanted to recreate a look from someone that wore the Adidas sneakers.

Adidas Swift Run - $85

Leggings
Denim Jacket
Sweatshirt - Similar
Hat
Custom Tote

How did I do?
Do you have the original Adidas or the Walmart Dupes?
What does your Winter Wardrobe look like where you live?

Thanks for stopping by today!

Winter Outerwear | Style Link Up

Wednesday, January 9, 2019

Winter hasn't completely hit us yet (fingers crossed this year will be extremely mild),

but I still have been wearing the same winter coat I rocked all last winter.

It's strange really.

Due to our living circumstances, I am doing things totally different than I normally would.

I have been wearing the same exact winter coat every single day that I need to wear a coat.
That is so unlike me.

I have a thing for coats.

In years past I have been known to get 2, 3, even 5 new coats that are winter only coats.

I just love them!

I typically switch out what coat I wear every single day!

Sometimes even throughout the day I change them.

I was the same way with purses!

So back to my winter outerwear.

This coat right here is the one I wear 90% of the winter months.

That other 10% of the time I wear this one.

#givemeallthecamo

Both are last year, but I this is the lightweight version for this year.

The longer version above is also pretty light weight, but it is a little warmer and provides more coverage.

I keep things simple with a solid beanie and matching gloves :)

This picture is old, but I still wear that exact hat.
Similar beanies

I also scored my Sorel boots on major sale last year and wear them all winter long!

Once the salt gets thrown down on the roads and sidewalks I leave my "work" shoes at the office and just wear these bad boys to and from work each day.

They are a bit heavy, but are so worth it since they keep my feet toasty!

The price tag is scary at first, but I have already worn them so much I justified that price a long time ago.

What does your winter outerwear look like?
How cold does it get where you live?
Do you get snow?
I would love to see your winter style and hear your answers below!

Merry & Bright | Fashion Link Up

Wednesday, December 12, 2018

This whole week over on The Blended Blog is about being Merry & Bright!

On Monday we shared things that bring us joy, and now today we are sharing some outfits that do the same!

I went shopping over the weekend.

In a mall.

And in a boutique.

And to Target.

Who am I?

You all know I don't like shopping, but when your birthday is quickly approaching and you need a new outfit for the big 4-0 you do what you gotta do 😉

I am not 100% I am wearing this outfit this weekend, but I will be rockin' it soon if I don't!

This outfit just screams Wear Me!

It also screams...Girls Night Out!

Adult Night Out!

Etc, etc. ;)

Unfortunately, the gorgeous lace top and earrings are from a local boutique that isn't available online :(

But if you are ever in Central Ohio you need to stop into Glam!

The girls there are so sweet and down to earth, and don't pressure you at all into buying anything.

That is huge in my book!

The jeans and booties are items I snagged on a late night stroll through Target.

Just looking at that picture makes me smile!

Throw a leather jacket on to complete the look :)

Here are the links to the items and some similar pieces.

Jeans - In the store these are marked Women'

Booties - Fit TTS

Lace Top - Option 1, Option 2, Option 3

Earrings - Option 1, Option 2

What outfit makes you feel Merry & Bright?

Get your coffee, it's a Big One!

Friday, January 12, 2018

Linking up with Erika, Narci & Andrea for...

We made it through the first full work week of the year!
I feel accomplished this week.
I have been working out, eating better, blogging better, and just all around getting things done.
Just don't come over to my house or you won't believe anything you just read ;)

Maybe after this weekend I will have that taken care of too!

Anyway, let's get into my favorites for the week.

I started off the week joining The Blended Blog for their Ask series.

I had it typed and it went live by 5am!
Actually, I have had all my posts typed ahead of schedule this week!
That accomplishment right there is a FAVORITE!

Then on Tuesday I kept things real in my Just Being Me post :)

Wednesday was a double whammy day!
I posted my Goals for 2018

and my picks for the Pantone Color of the year.

Ultra Violet earrings from Willow Elizabeth

I mentioned in my Instastories the other day (if you aren't following me yet, you should! @xtremelyv) that I picked up a new curling iron and was gifted a new hair dryer.
Now remember, I am cheap people.
Curling irons break, hair dryers die, etc.
I am not going to spend a lot of money on them.
And I didn't have to!
I researched "cheap" hair dryers before my birthday and found this one.

My hair normally takes 25-30 minutes to dry even after I have towel dried it and let it air dry for a bit.

This bad boy dried my hair in 7 minutes on the warm setting and my hair was WET!

Are you kidding me?
That is LIFE CHANGING in my book!

And the even better part is that it is only $25-30!

Can you say FAVORITE?

And I ran into Ulta to pick up a new Hot Tools curling iron that I wanted as well.

I have a 1 inch barrel and I love it, but I wanted something a little bit bigger to create more waves than curls.

My local store had this one on sale for $37!

And it does exactly what I was shooting for!

Another FAVORITE for sure!

They don't have it online, but check out your local store for the deal.

And yes, I know some of you told me to get a wand instead of a clamp style iron but I just couldn't do it!

I need to multi-task and a wand just doesn't allow for that!

#sorrynotsorry

Another deal I scored was on these boots!
I have been looking for some new winter/snow boots but just couldn't justify the price tag on a pair of Sorel boots.
Well, I decided to go with every fashion blogger's advice and ordered these (which are about $107 with code SORHNY50) in my normal size 7.5 since they were on sale for only $67.50 at the time.

That is the main reason I ordered them.

They arrived super fast and I loved them, but realized I needed to go up to a size 8.

I hopped online to see how to exchange them, but I didn't see that option so I called customer service.

They were AMAZING!

By the time I called the 8 was sold out again in the above color, so they honored the price I paid and let me pick from one of the other 7 colors available that were not on sale!

Are you serious??????

I picked the Oatmeal/Winter White because those are the ones I originally wanted.
