Nothing fancy doesn’t have to mean boring.  You can still look cute with the same effort it takes to throw on a pair of sweats.  For me, layers make an outfit interesting.  Today I am just headed to the ice rink for T’s first hockey game…Go Sharks!.  The rink is always cold, so layers is the answer anyway you look at it.  Destructed jeans is a great start.  It’s just the rink after all, but you don’t have to look like a slob.  So jeans, but in a light wash and distressed gives a laid back, easy feeling.  Mine are Gap Always Skinny.  Simple black and grey on top.  Silver Grey Cami from Express (my Favs), a hi-lo sweatshirt that I just bought from Danskin Now (Walmart), faux fur vest (BJ’s, on clearance this past summer).  All topped off with a little color, J.Crew wool burgundy with silver embroidery cap (no longer available, but  am lovin’ this one at UO) and my Arturo Chiang boots (also seen here, similar here) and my find of the season, Land’s End Kids quilted coat (thrift store find).

Easiest Costume Ever!

Easy Costume, Merona Spruce Green tights, wire brimmed witch's hat, Witch Costume

DSC02332

This was the easiest costume I’ve ever done.  I was inspired by this post I found on Pinterest. Going to add her to my blog watch list for sure. Isn’t that cape cool?  I could totally do that.  Maybe next year.  Back to the costume…I had everything but the hat ($3 from The Dollar Store). Everyone has a black dress of some kind, don’t they?  I had two to choose from.  I chose this sweater dress with leather detail (Chaps, Kohl’s, no longer available), black patent skinny belt (Target), black ruffle wrap (old), green tights (Merona, Target), black suede shoes (I got mine at DSW last year, but these are very similar).  Done. So simple.

The only notes I’d make to this is that the wrap was long, so I tucked the ends into the back of my belt to make it look more cape-like and the hat brim is so flat it looked silly when you put it on.  By bending the brim in half, it looked MUCH better.  I bent it front to back so the curves in the wire were on the sides.
