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.

 Today’s outfit was for both kiddos holiday parties at school.  I ran errands in between.  So much to do!  I always try to dress up a little for their parties.  It makes them feel like it’s a special day…and it is.  This is what shook out of my closet today. The newest thing is the purse.  I bought it last year after being inspired by this bag and this blog.  I love skinny jeans, but I love the way these flare fit too.  They are trouser jeans from Gap — seriously at least 10 years old.  Similar here and here The lace blouse has been seen before here and is a TJ Maxx find last year (also seen here).  If you’re looking for one, make sure you look for one that has the scalloped hem. I wear it alone or with layers it adds so much more than a straight hem.  The sweater is from BCBGMaxazaria from about 7 years ago.  I wear it all the time in the winter.  It’s surprisingly warm.  The bracelet is Anne Klein (bought it from my neighbor at her yard sale–total find). Boots are suede knee highs, and heels!  So rare for me. 🙂

Am I Blushing?

Blush sweater, Gap, Jean Leggings, Lace Layering, Ove the Knee Suede Boots, Polka Dot Sweater, Utility Jacket

DSC02747I read somewhere this week that trending colors this year include Navy and Blush.  I love Navy.  So much better than black as a neutral.  And blush is a color that I buy for myself because it looks good with my skin tone, so, I happen to already have some in my closet.  As usual, a simple comment or photo sent me digging through what I already own.  Today was chilly, but not too cold, so I layered a sleeveless lace top under my blush polka dot sweater, which is short enough so you can actually see the lace top (both 2013 TJ Maxx).  More pattern, more texture.  My jeans are actually Legging Jeans from Gap, these are a little different wash from mine but the same fit.  They’re great after one or 2 wears and perfect to go inside boots.  The boots are my new favorites, over the knee, Chinese Laundry.  The scarf is an old Banana Republic find.. I think it was actually a sarong.  It is a great neutral color so I have always used it as a wrap (early in it’s life–Y2Kish or a scarf–recent years).  My Utility Jacket is another TJ Maxx find (sashimi-similar here), It’s really light so I layer with it all the time.  I wear it over sweaters, fleece jackets and vests.
