I’m a sucker for statement necklaces, and this one clearly states “Hey, I’m really legit, but also girly, check out my sparkly neck area.”

What I Wore: I was inspired by one of Jessica Quirk’s outfits and styled this myself tonight. Shirt: Old Navy, Sweater: Target, Pants: Target.
I went thrifting today!
Buffalo Exchange, off Greenville Avenue and McCommas Boulevard in Dallas, is where these three excellent pieces came from. I never intended on wearing them all together, but the pop of color in the fuschia really brightens up the dress. And that print? So cute. The tights are blue, which I didn’t discover until I got home, but I think that makes me like them more. They’re more of an indigo-blue, so they’ll go with lots of my purpley clothes.
All of this? $35.
I think I found my Christmas outfit.
(Now, to find shoes…this outfit beckons purple suede pumps, but alas, they’re in Norman.)
Winter Weather Staples (not the metal kind)
For the past week or so, I’ve been stocking up on my winter fashion basics. In between buying belts at Target and boots at Steve Madden, I thought I’d share them with all of you!
1. Steve Madden “Lindley” boots
I’m currently wearing a Lindley lookalike, the Roady boots from last season, but the Lindley’s are close enough to recommend to all of you! They’re great for tucking jeans or wearing with a pencil skirt and pattern tights for a day on the job (or a night on the town).
2. Infinity scarves
I didn’t actually buy my infinity scarf; it was given to me by the church that I work at. Mine is grey with thick stripes and I love love love it! It’s perfect for keeping my neck warm in that fierce Oklahoma wind. I’d pick a substantially thick one over a long one, but both are warm and stylish. Go with earth tones so that you compliment the leaves on the ground.
3. North Face “Denali” jacket
I know, I know. You’re going to blend in with nearly everyone when you wear this jacket, but that’s just because everyone is smart. North Faces are warm, cozy, and great for throwing over any outfit while you trudge to class in the cold. They aren’t the cutest thing in the world, but you will be relatively warm and waterproof. And black goes with everything, right?!
4. Skinny belts, pencil skirts, patterned tights
I actually wore this combo out to dinner at Victoria’s on Campus Corner Friday night. Skirt from Gap + blue button down from Forever 21 + patterned tights from Target + skinny belt from Target + grey sweater from J. Crew = winter cuteness. Feel free to mix it up at your discretion.
What do you like to wear when (baby) it’s cold outside?
Wishing this came in grown-up sizes.
Super cute. I def don’t need a new coat, but maybe I’ll buy one anyway….
Shop the Trend: Leopard
WhatIWore: If you’ve been reading this blog for like… a week, then you know I’m a fool for leopard print. As it stands, I have a hat, coat, tights, skirt, belt, and shoes (and gloves and jammies) in my mix. Care to inject a purrty print into your wardrobe? Here are some of my favorites
Oh, leopard. How I adore you.

The sequin dress makes its stand as a day dress this season.

Sequins are good any time of day.
Reblogging in honor of the fact that I’m wearing TWO forms of cheetah today. I paired a flowy black top with my cheetah scarf from Forever 21 and threw on my well-worn cheetah kitten heels.
Happy Thursday!

Braids intrigue me. I once learned how to fishtail braid on a theatre bus, but I promptly forgot it and haven’t remembered how since. During my sorority’s recruitment, I was frequently summoned into people’s rooms to give them side braids. Side braids are most effective at getting rid of bangs that you’re constantly playing with or that are getting too long. I also used to be fascinated with the braided updo that Izzie had on one episode of Grey’s Anatomy.
What’s your favorite way to wear a braid? Leave a comment and tell me all about it!
