So this is spring? I’m sure many of my friends are dressing in adorable spring clothes. We in the northeast are still battling the chill (understatement). So today, a simple outfit. My standby combo of camo and stripes. Gap skinnies (seen here and here) are as neutral as blue jeans. My shirt is J.Crew (seen here) and the waffle knit wrap is an old target purchase that I haven’t worn in a while, but I saw this blogger wearing one similar and it inspired me to dig it out. Boots are Arturo Chang (seen here and here). Knit hat is the navy version of this one. I’m adding a little Navy to everything lately. Just love it! Coat is Nine West — Bought it at Tuesday Morning, of all places, or something like $25.00 2 years ago. My old olive coat was on it’s last legs when I ran across it. Fur collar is removable. These new sunglasses are quickly becoming a staple! And red lips… what do you think?

Always Skinny Jeans, Artura Chiang, Arturo Chiang, Corduroy Jacket, family members, Fenn Wright Manson, Fenn Wright Manson Studios, Fossil Belt, Fringe, GAP Deconstructed, GAP Destructed Skinnys, Open Cardigan Sweater, Roxy, Tapestry Belt, Tassles, TJ, TJMaxx, White V-neck Tee

I know I keep talking about layering but OMG, in this cold, there is no other way. This outfit is so casual and comfortable it screams effortless! The star of the show is this sweater! It’s ROXY and I got it just before Thanksgiving at TJMaxx thinking I would give it to a family member for our gift exchange, but as luck would have it, hubby and I both pulled male family members, so I kept it for myself! It was meant to be. 🙂 The jeans are GAP Destructed Skinnys (also seen here with the same boots and here), White V-neck T (also seen here and here), Faded Glory, This corduroy Jacket is sooo old…Jeanstar (I think I got it at Kaufmans, that’s how old it is). Boots are Artura Chiang (also seen here), of which I need a new pair, something higher, I think. Belt is old, Fossil (also seen here with the jeans). Necklace is forever 21, inspired long ago by Reese Witherspoon. The bag is another TJMaxx find some years ago, maybe 4? It was not inexpensive (by TJ standards) but it is like butter and the strap is adjustable so I can wear it crossbody too. It’s made by Fenn Wright Manson and a quick internet search looks like it’s one in a million. Just goes to show that an occasional visit to TJ’s can bring treasures!

Arturo Chiang, Brown Boots, Cropped Sweater, Lace Dress, Lands' End, Oversized Menswear, Plaid, Quilted Coat, White with off White

When thinking about what to wear today I was inspired by one of my favorite blogs Cupcakes and Cashmere. I just tweaked it to fit my style. Most of these pieces have been shown before. The oversized meanswear shirt layered over my lace dress. But this time I added the cropped sweater (see before here) and my well loved Arturo Chiang boots that I bought at L&T 4 years ago, but I still love them (similar here in Whiskey Tye Dye). The picture looks white but the dress and sweater are cream color. Only the Shirt is white. So there is a little contrast. Can you see it here?

And then there is this coat. What a find! I have to tell someone about it. It’s Lands’ End Kids.. Size XL/14 Found it for $14.99 at a thrift shop (maybe I shouldn’t tell people). But I love the quilting, the plaid lining (another fall trend) and the weight is perfect for fall and into winter. What do you think?

P.S. Have you seen Lands’ End’s New Catalog? I’m in love with the Stewart plaid.
