Turtleneck: J. Crew

Jogger Pants: Jack by BB Dakota

Pumps: Kurt Geiger

I hope your week is going well!  I have a tendency to stick with a few key items every season and wear them constantly.  This turtleneck is one of those items and I think these pants are on their way to become another.  The last time I wore these pants was with a very casual outfit, but all of my clothes have to do double (or triple duty) so I paired them with heels for a slightly dressier look.  I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but I actually really like the result!

Have you/would you wear jogger pants with heels?

I hope you had a great weekend!  It was a little chilly and gloomy here, but I can't complain since it was nothing compared to what my friends are experiencing in other parts of the country.  

Do you ever have outfits that come together by accident?  This is an example of one of those outfits for me.  I rediscovered this faux fur vest in my closet and threw it one over my jacket on the way out the door since I wanted a little extra warmth.  I fully intended to switch the vest to wear under the jacket later.  However, I ended up liking up so much I kept the vest over the jacket.

Just a warning, when I took off my vest and jacket, I almost forget my vest at the bar since  don't normally layer the two.  Don't be forgetful like me!

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Happy Monday!  I hope you had a great weekend!  I'm sorry for the lack of posts last week, but I decided it was best for me to take a break and come back fully refreshed for work and the blog.  A week on the beach is exactly what the doctor ordered!  Let's just say that the biggest decision every day was what beach to go to.  I will hopefully have a vacation recap post up soon, but I'm already trying to figure out how I can get back to St. Martin and Anguilla ASAP!

Now, onto the clothes.  Living in Atlanta, I'm pretty lucky that I can wear most of my wardrobe year-round.  When the temperatures dipped (or dipped for Atlanta), I immediately reached for my tights and favorite stripe sweater to winterize my favorite leather skirt.  You know I'm cold when I have tights on!  With the addition of a little leopard, this variation of my fail-proof black and white combo is ready for work (and after work without the jacket).  

On a side (random) note, am I the only one who finds heels less comfortable with tights?  

There are also some great deals Green Monday (I don't know when this became like Black Friday or Cyber Monday, but I will never say no to a deal!)

I hope you guys had a great weekend!  Mine was busy with packing and errand running as I'm getting ready to move apartments on Friday.  After packing up my closet, I know I have a little bit (a lot) of closet editing to do.  Any tips would be much appreciated!!

I love to dress up as much as the next girl, but this outfit or something similar (with my leopard sneaker slides) is what you will find me in most Sundays.  Just a little warning, but now that it is cooler, I will be living in this jacket.  I wasn't sure how much I would wear these jeans when I bought them, but I wear them at least twice a week now.  

What is your go to weekend outfit?

Stepping Outside of My Comfort Zone

Happy Friday!  What are you guys up to this weekend?  I'm off to Seattle for a friend's bachelorette party, which should be a lot of fun.  This friend loves good food and wine so I'm sure the weekend will include some amazing meals.

One of the things that I've tried to do since starting this blog is step outside of my comfort zone.  This blog itself is a huge step outside of my comfort zone.  My clothing comfort zone lies in solid colors, so patterns and pattern mixing are a big departure for me.  When Gina of On the Daily Express posted this skirt, I fell in love with it and felt inspired to try a little pattern mixing with it.  Some bloggers (Erica of Casually Styled) mix patterns so well, but it isn't something that I automatically think of.  Anyway, I figured I would give it a try.  I'm still not 100% sure I love it, as I think it photographed better than it looked in real life (Does that ever happen for you guys?  I feel like it is always the opposite...).  However, I decided to put it up and get your thoughts.  I'm sure I will back back to one print at a time next week.

Are you guys good at pattern mixing?

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Dressing up T-shirt and Jeans

Dress (worn as a vest): BB Dakota, last seen here

Shirt: Banana Republic

Jeans: Current/Elliot

Shoes: Kurt Geiger

Bracelets: Bauble Bar (here, here), C. Wonder

Clutch: Zara, old

I hope you guys had a great weekend!  Mine was filled with lots of World Cup games and a great dinner with my dad for Father's Day.  

You may recognize this vest from when I wore it to the Aveda Fashion Show (here).  While I love it as a dress, it isn't really practical for my real life.  Since I work in a very creative, fashion-forward environment now (a far cry from the conservative business casual attire I wore as a strategy consultant...), I decided to make this tuxedo dress more casual by layering it over a t-shirt and my favorite jeans.  I know I've worn these jeans often on the blog, but they are so comfortable and I love the distressing.  I can't recommend them enough.  My red lip and fun heels were the perfect finishing touches.  Whenever I wear these shoes, someone always comments on how the heel could be used as a weapon...

By the way, I didn't carry this bag to work, but my big laptop bag just didn't go as well in the picture!  

Have a great day! 

Thanks to everyone who entered the Francesca's giveaway!  The winner is Christy Peeples DuBois!  Congrats Christy!!
