My Daily Looks

Because it was far too cold to take pictures outside last week, I decided to shoot some outfits indoors to share with you.  If you aren’t already taking pictures of your outfits, I highly recommend making it a habit – not only will you learn what silhouettes best flatter your shape, but it’s a great way to remember outfit combination ideas for future reference.  I have all of mine stored on my phone & categorized by season into different albums – particularly helpful for those mornings when you wake up & feel like you have nothing to wear!   I hope that these looks will provide you with more layering ideas for the season – I’m also highlighting a few of my favorite pieces that are currently available and many on sale now!

STRIPES

I’ll never get tired of stripes and here’s two ways to wear them for the season – one more casual look and one that’s slightly more polished.  This sweatshirt is a recent purchase of mine that I love and can wear now with laid-back layers & later in the spring on its own (it also comes in a neutral stripe).  This striped turtleneck is a layering essential for me – I wear it under sweaters, jackets, blazers and vests – love that it doesn’t add unwanted bulk.  You’ve seen me wear this leather belt a lot over the last few months & it is my absolute favorite (also comes in two other colors).  Life hack: I use this leather punch tool to make all my belts fit both low & high on my waist – it’s a lifesaver!

PLAID

Here I’m sharing different ways to style scarves – the first look is with a blanket scarf and, instead of wrapping it around my neck, I simply draped it over my shoulders and belted at the waist to create a flattering silhouette.  These faux leggings are a gorgeous chocolate brown color that’s perfect for pairing with other neutrals – they are so comfortable & currently on sale!  The second look is a plaid oblong scarf with fringe and I used it as more of an accent here to add interest & pull all the colors together.  This camel vest is one of my most-loved wardrobe pieces – it’s over 3 years old, but I found a very similar option for you here.

    When you wear a long vest in cold weather, what type of coat do you wear over it. I have a long sweater vest I never wear because of this. It never seems to be perfect weather to wear it without another layer outside.

      I have a black wool coat that is a longer length and I purposely bought it a little big so I could wear layers like this underneath – it works perfectly!

        I can see where a long coat could work. People don’t wear many long wool coats where I live in Louisiana, so I guess that is why I didn’t really think about that option. When it gets cold here most people wear thigh length coats.
