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?

American Eagle, Brown Boots, Buffalo, casual outfit, Gap, Lace Layering, legging Jeans, MantraBands, Marsala Sweater, Parka, sweater

One of the great things about living in Buffalo is that there are massive sales on winter clothing long before winter is over! I just bought a boatload of clearance sweaters from Marshall’s this week. This is one of them. This marsala high-low cropped sweater is American Eagle. You know I love my scalloped edge tank (seen here and here with the same jeans), and it is highlighted perfectly by the cropped front of this sweater. And if you read my post from yesterday, you saw that I am dreaming of a higher boot…then I remembered today, I think I have a pair! They are a chocolate brown and oh so much higher than what I am now used to, but mission accomplished. Once again, my Basement Department Store is always open! They are so very old, I couldn’t even tell you when I got them.

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.
