Plaid Wrap and Faux Leather Leggings

For months I had been searching for the perfect cape wrap.  The only problem was that I did not know what I was searching for.  I spent a whole lot of time Googling "scarf with arm holes."  I had purchased blanket scarves and tried a bevy of wraps, but they were all missing those elusive arm holes.  A scarf or a wrap just wasn't doing the trick for me.  And by "trick", I mean staying on my body during any form of movement.  My other wraps looked great as long as I remained motionless.
I learned that vocabulary is the key to a fashion hunt.  
Luckily, New Jersey is experiencing one last blast of winter, so I've made some use out of my late season purchase.

I am starting off the new year (in mid-January) with renewed commitment to this blog and comfortable footwear.  I've always been a fancy shoe girl, but lately I have started amassing a bit of a sneaker collection.  I do like the trend of glammed up sneakers.  I can wear shiny and sparkly things AND have my toes not bleed.  I would also be remiss if I didn't talk about the printed bomber trend that's everywhere.  I love that this badass silhouette now comes in floral.  The bomber jacket aspect makes me think I can have a weekend of partying at bars and concerts, but the floral reminds me I prefer quiet and cats.  It's the small things that are going to make 2017 for me.

Floral Leggings and Chambray

I am not good with "fall" colors.  I just really really love bright colors.  Case in point: these floral leggings.  I do love a good cozy sweater and anything maroon, but I just can't get away from bright pinks and blues.  At least I paired them with a fall-appropriate top.  BUT, chambray is really kind of an all year round thing for me.  Oh well.

When a Sweater and a Blanket Scarf Aren't Enough...

We all make mistakes.  Sometimes those mistakes are not wearing real pants when the average temperature is "arctic tundra."  I figured, I have a giant scarf, hat, AND a sweater on.  I'll totally be warm enough for blog pictures.  Nope.  Stupid.  Wrong.  My butt also can also feel the cold air.

Fridays typically turn me into a bratty 14 year-old.  I look in my closet and think, "I just can't even...put on pants."  So, my Friday uniform has consisted mainly of leggings and a comfy top.  I love love love Assets leggings from Target.  And this comfy cozy pink cardi from Yoyomelody completes my exasperated look. I think my Friday outfit choices are beginning to make my co-workers wonder if I own real pants.

I am firm believer that leggings are not pants, except when you are too tired to put on pants.  The arrival of colder weather makes me incredibly lazy.  So, thankfully, Znu sent me this sweatshirt tunic.  I can be a lazy schlub (is that how you spell that?) in my leggings and sweatshirt without looking like getting out of bed was an epic battle.

This outfit is made up of a whole bunch of luck.  I snagged this green Isaac Mizrahi tunic and these Coach sneakers off the clearance rack at my local Marshall's.  Designer finds like this are rarely left on the clearance rack.  I think my Marshall's is frequented by very diligent and intelligent bargain hunters.  The fancy name brands always get snatched up quickly.  You seriously can not take a day to think about whether you want that Kate Spade dress for $100.  And then after grabbing this fab deals, I found out I had won a giveaway on Join the Gossip for this gorgeous cross body from Thursday Friday.  I am seriously in love with this bag.  I love the chain and the feather print...pretty much everything about it.  It's the perfect running around town summer bag.  Well, not actually running, you can't fit too big of a water bottle in this bag.  So maybe some light walking, shopping and eating around town.

Rediscovering Silver and a Blue Nile Giveaway!

I have quite a bit of silver jewelry, but I never wear it.  I have piles of silver bracelets, but was never inspired to create a neat little silver arm stack.  Well, uninspired until I received this Infinity Bracelet from Blue Nile.  It was the missing puzzle piece in my silver stack!  And now you have a chance to start your own silver stack and win an Infinity Bracelet from Blue Nile!


UPDATE: This very morning as I put this bracelet on, I excitedly thought, "I bet Emily Thorne would totally wear this while plotting her latest revenge scheme.  Also, I feel like there are too many simultaneous revenge plots on the show and we have lost it's true message."  I know....deep thoughts to start a Wednesday.

But, even if you don't win, you can use the code "bnhh" to get 10% off anything from Blue Nile.  You can choose from their huge selection of certified diamond and gem stone jewelry.


Full Disclosure: The bracelet I am wearing and the giveaway item were provided to me free of charge, but all opinions are 100% mine.  I was not compensated in any other way for this post.

What do 2 cups of Starbucks coffee, a month of Netflix, a box of Franzia and this dress have in common?  They all cost $10!  I couldn't believe it either when I saw it online.  Sometimes a chapstick is an impulse buy at the register...sometimes it's a $10 Anthropologie dress at my desk at work.

And what do these shoes have in common with my high school lunches and cell phone until I turned 18?  They were all free because my mom paid for them.
