Art deco


Yay--it's so nice to be home this week on break and be able to take outfit pictures outside in this great 70 degree weather!  This sweater was a great find at Target--it's a thin cotton knit with a lovely drapey fit and comes in many bright colors!  I was tempted by the mustard and turquoise as well.

More plaid


Here's a solo outfit pic snapped from our trip to Missouri.  It was a warm and sunny 40 degrees when we were up there which makes me laugh b/c if it's 40 in Austin, I'm in bed under the heat blanket.  Hope everyone had a good time with family and friends this holiday season!

Lululemon rehearsal top


Here's a different silhouette from my norm: a long flowy top and skinnier bottom.  This Lululemon top is the softest top ever--I would say go check it out but then you'd be sucked into buying just about everything at that store and be broke by the new year.  I know I am.

Jcrew lady lace popover


Here's an outfit from this weekend, worn to a casual work party.  I love this lady lace popover from Jcrew--the lace is such a gorgeous detail.  I took my new Jas MB bag out for a spin--it's smaller than my other bags so I can't hold my usual bug spray etc. but on the plus side it's not super heavy and is perfect for events or all day shopping trips.

Jcrew blouson dress in royal paisley

I broke out my new Jcrew dress for our hunt.gather.style Christmas party at Uchiko where there was lots of delicious food and great conversation with Grechen and Sydney.  I'm really glad I found this dress on super sale, I adore the print and was torn between it and the pencil skirt.  We had a freak day of 70 degree weather and even though it was raining, I loved it--I can't wait to get back to hot weather and my summer wardrobe.  Good thing winters in Texas are short!

Anthropologie sweater sale

Anthropologie is having a great 50% off sale on full priced sweaters and outerwear today and tomorrow!  I've imbibed a bit too much already with all the great sales so I'm not sure if I'm going to partake in this one, but just in case, here are a few goodies I'm eyeing...

L-R:  
Angled Boucle Cardigan--looks so soft and cozy and I love the cropped length which is great over dresses!
Shallop Pullover--yay stripes!  This sweater is super soft and has these cute buttons running down the side
Cloud Knit Sweatercoat--I'll need about a 2nd cut sale before this one is within my price range.  It seems like it would be super versatile (just like my Downy Loops vest!)



L-R:
 
Kites and Constellations Cardigan--a unique twist to your basic navy cardigan.  Love the constellations detail!
Cashmere Boatneck--the name says it all: cashmere with an interesting funnel boat neck
Winking Sky Cardigan--cardgan + beading = grandma approved!


Are you excited about anything from the Anthropologie sweater/outerwear sale?

Downy Loops Vest


I snapped up this cozy vest at Anthropologie's Black Friday sale and have hopes that it will be the most versatile piece in my wardrobe this winter.  I'm looking forward to pairing it with maxi skirts and dresses and worn over button down tops and sweaters.  As for my thermal tee in this picture, I'm usually not a pink girl, but somehow I make the exception for neon pink!

Jcrew Blythe top


I patiently waited for this Blythe silk blouse to go on sale but the problem is, now it's just a bit too chilly to wear silk!  I felt like I was putting on an ice cube in the morning.  Maybe next time I'll try a cami underneath?

Ships in the night


Just a simple button down and pants outfit for the work week.  I've discovered another addiction, one that might rival my cardigan, belt and dress addictions.  I introduce to you--the humble button down.  They can be silk, cotton or flannel; plaid, checked or quirky--I'll take them all! (and some better lighting for these pictures)
