Winter Texture


Winter can be a fun but sometimes difficult season to dress for. All of the dark colors can easily become overpowering and come together to make a look boring and drab. Adding texture to an outfit is the perfect solution to this dilemma.  For the center of this outfit I chose a pretty grey, marbled sweater to add texure and interest to the look. Paired with a big blanket scarf, perfect for adding warmth, and some lightly washed distressed jeans, this outfit incorporates all of the darker tones typical of winter months, with a bit of additional color and texture to keep it from being boring. 
This layed back look is perfect for days when you want to look put together without putting too in much effort. One of my favorite go-to outfit combinations in the winter months is a sweater, vest, blanket scarf, jeans, and some booties. An extra bonus is that all of the layers are sure to keep you nice and toasty even on cold snowy days!

I love the texture of this sweater! I have had it for years now and it seriously goes with everything! The grey and black tones woven into the sweater make it the perfect staple piece for a winter wardrobe.

My favorite way to add a subtle pop of color to a look is with a bright lip and nail color. My current favorite is wearing bright red lipstick and nailpolish. 
For my accessories I decided to keep them simple and subtle by stacking a few rings on my fingers and adding a set of pearl earring studs from H&M.


Outfit Details:
Sweater: Aeropostale (Old Purchase)
Vest: Younkers (Old Purchase)
Blanket Scarf: Forever 21

Booties: Target
 Rings: Old Navy

A Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Ah, fall is finally here and couldn't be happier about it! I love the cooler weather, pretty trees, and fun fall activities. I have to admit though that my favorite aspect of fall is that fact that I get to pull out all of my cozy sweaters and scarves. The fall months are prime time for playing around with layering due to the unpredictable tempatures. My easy go-to outfit for fall consists of a sweater, vest, blanket scarf, jeans, and riding boots. The evening my mom and I went to the pumpkin farm was the definition of a perfect fall evening; 50 degrees, a cool breeze, and sunny. I've linked all of the pieces down below if you are interested in getting the look! This outfit was perfect for finding the perfect pumpkin! It kept me plenty warm while still allowed for me to be able to easily move around! All of the pieces from this outfit are staples of mine. They all can be mixed and matched with so many other outfits to create a totally different look!  I love blan...

Post Vacation Blues

I hate coming home from vacation and getting back into the routine of my everyday life. Even though Florida was quite chilly, I loved every minute of it! I absolutely LOVE the ocean, beach, and palm trees, so I was not to excited to be coming back to bare and brown Iowa. However, while in Florida I had the opportunity to shoot several new looks for future blog posts and I'm sure some people are probably getting tired of all the beach pictures, so I'll work on slowing that down! Today's outfit is perfect for the warmer weather the Midwest will soon get, and the weather the rest of the country already seems to have! It's a super simple and laid back look that looks so cute all together, I love it! Like usual, I have listed the links to the different parts of my outfit down below. Thanks for stopping over!
