This was my school Holiday Party outfit. These coated leggings (also seen here) are so perfect for those days when the cookie tray got the best of you. 🙂 I folded the cuff under just once to make them just a tad shorter. What do you think of my new flats?? I love them–snake skin (OP Inspired) with a navy suede trim and honestly so comfortable. They are Sam Edelman (similar here). I know I will wear them with everything! The shirt was a JCPenney find, Joe Fresh (sad to say, I can’t find a link anywhere to buy). I like the color and the length. I’ve bought a few things in this merlot color so it will blend into my wardrobe nicely and the tunic length makes it so versatile; tie front, full tuck, half tuck, no tuck. They all work. The faux fur vest (also seen here) is from BJ’s, of all places, I bought it over a year ago, maybe 2. The necklace (looks like 3 but it’s all one) is also from Penny’s I got it for a steal at $7, regularly $24, back in October (along with this beauty for $3, reg. $30).

Wide legged denim is coming back. I saw this pic of Olivia Palermo and found inspiration.

While I don’t own any actual bell bottoms, I’ve got lots of wide legged/boot cuts that really resemble a bell bottom. These are a pair that have never left my closet (also seen here with the same faux suede boots). They are more of trouser pant. They are GAP and of course they are really old — About 10 years. The sleeveless sweater wrap is also old (also seen here), TJ Maxx. T was in preschool, so 4 years ago at least. Short sleeved T-neck is Target this past fall (also seen here). If they have them again in 2015, I recommend getting one or 2. The neck is snug but not too tight and oooohhh so soft. The coat is Nine West (also seen here). The clutch was a find! I found it in a Savers store for $4.00. It’s fabric quilted Navy (I’ve already explained my current obsession with Navy in my last outfit post) and it has a long chain strap, so I can wear it cross-body, or double it up and make it a shoulder strap. But mostly I use it as a large clutch. I’m finding a lot of bags that I am making into clutches. I should do a post on that. 🙂 And I just did a major watch buy at Target. They were $10 a piece. I couldn’t resist. Military style accessories are in this Spring. It’s a men’s watch so I had to make some modifications so it would fit. Nothing a pair of scissors and super glue can’t handle.

Beanie, Black Suede Booties, Cargo Skinnies, Gap, Olivia Palermo, Slouchy Hat, V neck t-shirt, Winter Coat

Brrr…. good thing I found this coat last week! It’s all I’ve worn since then! I wandered into gap and they were having an additional 60% off sale. I had just seen these pics of Olivia Palermo, so after I tried it on, I was inspired and bought it. The slouchy hat is new too (cute, right?)– American Eagle has a huge selection of hats on sale right now. I might have to go back for more. I love my hats! The rest of the outfit is basic. My go to V-neck tee (also seen here), black cargo pants (seen here), suede booties (seen here and here).

Sorry for all the mirror selfies, but I am trying to post outfits as often as I can. I hope to get back outside to take some pics soon. I just need a little break in the weather. 🙂
