Always Skinny, Asos Oversized Blanket Scarf, boyfriend watch, Buffalo Check, C9, Gap, Jean Leggings, Nine West, roxie boot, sam edelman, Target, Walmart plaid

More from my new plaid collections of shirts. This is the only Buffalo Check I have, but it’s in the classic red with charcoal grey. This shirt is in tunic length from Walmart (another pattern seen here) and half tucked into my jean leggings from GAP, 1969 collection (seen here and here, similar here). The coat has become a staple for me (Target C9, last year, also seen here ) The blanket scarf was what I found after Land’s End ran out of the Stewart Plaid last winter (also seen here), but I actually like this one better and if you need this in your wardrobe, head to Bluebirds and Sunshine at the Galleria Mall. I just saw it there in a darker hue. The Boots? …now the boots are brand new. I have been on the hunt for riding boots that are tall like my Hunter boots (16 1/2 “). In my experience here in Buffalo, the best place to buy boots is Lord and Taylor. Not always the least expensive, but not run of the mill and you will love them for years. This pair is awesome! Black with bronze back panels and metallic heel embellishment give something unexpected to these riding boots. Made by Sam Edelman, his Circus line, online at 6pm for $62.00. Bag is Nine West, TJ Maxx (also seen here); Sunnies are from Tuesday Morning; Belt, old; Watch, Target (also seen here); necklace, gift (also seen here)

Asos Oversized Blanket Scarf, black skinny belt, Black turtleneck, Blanket Scarf, Denim Jacket Outfit, Green, Max Studio, Over the Knee Suede Boots, Plaid, St. Partick's Day Outfit, Steve Madden Windsor Satchel, Tiered skirt, tortoise cateye sunglasses, Zara Tartan

This is what I wore on March 17th. You’ve to go green, Irish or not, right? I searched my closet and tried on multiple options but in the end this outfit was the victor! I was volunteering at the school for Kindergarten Registration and you know what they say about 1st impressions, so I turned it up a notch. Plus it was a slightly warmer day so a skirt seemed like a good idea considering it has been much, much to cold to wear anything but pants in the last 2 months!

I love this look because really, it doesn’t have to be just a St. Patty’s look. Black top, black tights and a colored skirt looks so simply sharp to me. Let’s start with the skirt, It’s a summer knit skirt and I usually wear it with a ribbed tank top and flip flops so it’s nice to see it finding a place in my winter wardrobe. It is old — 3 years, maybe. Marshall’s, of course. The black turtleneck from Target (this past fall) is amazingly soft and I like that the sleeves aren’t quite short, makes it less casual. My denim jacket (also seen here) is ancient– 15 years old, at least. It’s H&M and I remember when I bought it — Syracuse working my first publishing job. I have tried to replace it and made a valiant effort last year but to no avail. None of the ones I found were right. Mostly too long. I like this one because it’s short, but not cropped. I think a lighter washed one is in my future. Stay tuned. Black tights, my Chinese Laundry over the knee suede boots (seen here and here and everywhere!) balance the look. My ASOS blanket scarf (seen here, here and here)is the finishing touch because of the holiday and it is a bit chilly, so an extra layer never hurts.

Accessories! Check out my new shades from Target. I love the thick bold tortoise shell frame. I’d bet they’ll be my go to this spring. My that girl (click here to read my That Girl story) earrings look kind of Gaelic, don’t they? Bag is Steve Madden and I bought it to imitate a Coach bag that I had to have but could never find. Belt is a skinny patent from Target.

St Patrick’s Day Parade! So many great memories of going when I was in my 20’s (for obvious reasons) and when the weather is agreeable, we’ve taken the kids.

This sweater is one from the great sweater buy at Marshall’s of 2015 (other sweaters are here, here and here). I love the navy and green combo and have worn it many times since I bought it. Plaid seemed appropriate for the day’s festivities so I’m once again wearing my fav blanket scarf from ASOS (also seen here). Jeans are Leggings from GAP (seen here and here). The jacket is NEW! I found it on clearance at Target last week. Love it! It’s fleece with nylon quilting. Of course, now I can’t find it on their website, but it was $22 (similar here). A “cannot pass up this deal” purchase (even hubby agreed with me on this one). Boots are Hunter Original Tall in Green. If you are thinking of getting a pair — now is the time. When all this snow melts it is going to be one sloppy baseball/softball season! The knit hat is cable knit, black with silver threads and who can resist a pom-pom on top? I bought it at our local supermarket (go figure) in their seasonal section — clearance of course, $5.00. So great I bought 5 of them (different colors) and G and I share. 🙂

Asos Oversized Blanket Scarf, Black Corduroys, Black Skinnies, gold flecked, metallic sweater, patagonia boots, Stewart Plaid, winter outfits

T turned 8 last week! We all know how busy birthday weeks are and this was no exception, but I managed to get some posts out and this outfit just did not make it! The Great Sweater buy continues. This is another one that I got a Marshall’s for a song– It’s Max Studio and you can’t see it in this picture, but it has little gold threads in it which change it from ho-hum beige, to cute sweater! Skinny cords are old, Target, Converse (also seen here), Tee is also old, but I’m lovin’ the beefy cuffs and collar (also seen here). Believe it or not, I didn’t wear a coat this day because I was just jumping from car to building and the sun was out (for a change) so it didn’t feel as cold as it has so the blanket scarf (also seen here) was enough to keep me cozy. And the boots. Well, when you live it this climate, you have to sacrifice fashion at some level and the boots is where I have to draw my line.

Asos Oversized Blanket Scarf, Camoflage Skinnies, Navy, Slouchy Sweatshirt

This is the scarf that started it all. Well, not exactly this one, but one very similar. The one I fell in love with was sold out. So, I happened upon this one (somehow I cannot get the link to work — search Oversized Square Scarf In Check at ASOS.com) and it is truly a blanket scarf. It is so big I half wonder if it isn’t actually a blanket and they decided to jump on the Blanket Scarf bandwagon and market it as a scarf. Worn with my cargo skinnies (seen here with the boots and here), snow boots (not particularly fashionable, but necessary) and a basic crewneck navy sweatshirt I bought in menswear, half tucked. So cozy, I didn’t feel the need for a coat on this day.
