Sweet and Simple

Today it hit high of 72 degrees! (insert praise emoji) And although it didn’t last for long before the dark clouds overtook the sky, it was just long enough to enjoy the rest of the day. (Even though my nephews were given their first raincoats today and I all I wanted to do was dance in it with them.)

This is one of my favorite transitions for fashion. I love cooler days where I can wear a tank top or like today, a romper and pair it with an over-shirt of some sort and of course finish it with my favorite combat boots.

One of the guys

Well, they were right we did end getting a TON of snow…like 8 inches. It was absolutely stunning to look at, and it wasn’t terribly cold, so it really wasn’t that miserable! But today, was perfect to be just “one of the guys.”

Let’s be real, who doesn’t love wearing their boyfriend’s sweats? Fortunately, because I do not have a boyfriend, I do have a brother I choose to steal from instead. My flannel shirt today belongs to my brother, but I noticed it hanging in his closet a while ago, and never have seen him in it, so I decided to make it mine and it is now one of my favorite pieces. He’s a lot taller than me, so it makes for a really comfortable look. This is the kind of comfortable look I go for versus sweats, because you can really make this look more fashionable, and honestly, sweats just aren’t a look I choose. Plus, adding my leather leggings really pulls the look together and gives a more “girlie” feel.

New Season, New Love

Ok, so I know today is not technically Spring, but it feels like it, so I’m going with it. Just knowing I could be outside all day today without a jacket is uplifting. That said, it’s a new season, and time for a new love. These past couple of months have been anything but easy for me. There’s been the classic combination of heartbreak, doubt and loneliness, I mean honestly, this is what our twenties are for right? But today, I am dedicating this season to find love again, starting with most importantly, loving myself.

I am still trying to figure out what to do with my life, and I am young enough to make mistakes and still be OK. This is somewhat reassuring. Knowing there are so many opportunities in this world has made me grateful that I am continuing this journey of self-discovery by myself, and I mean, don’t get me wrong, I am fully aware it will be a lonely life for some time, but it will be worth it in the end. Thankfully, I have the best support system anyone could ask for (and I know everyone says this, but truly, thank you to my family and friends for being my rock and for your continued support on this crazy ride).

Cold and Cozy

Today it started snowing…again. I love the snow for Christmas, but once the holiday is over, I’m ready for the snow to be gone as well. But, I can’t control the weather, but I can control how to handle it. So I decided to embrace it with my winter must-have. An oversized comfy sweater. I like to buy these a size or two larger for added comfort, this way too, they are long enough to wear with only leggings, like I did today. You can also wear oversized sweaters with jeans, but if I’m doing comfy, I’m going all the way and keeping with leggings. A sweater really is a winter staple, and this color is a neutral so that makes it great and versatile for different colored leggings or even jeans.

Steal my look: My sweater is from Marshalls, my leggings are from Forever 21 and my boots are from Urban Outfitters
