when it’s cold outside

this weather has me longing for a cashmere turtleneck sweater in a bright color that brings a hue to my face. plus they say red cheers you up!

though, i am color blind – i hope this is a reddish/orange, not an orange that could flag down a plane.

i love combining a cozy sweater with the perfect pair of skinny jeans and a great pair of flats – or riding boots. this weekend, i vote for riding boots! it’s a classic look that will never go out of style, which means these are great investment pieces. i always think jeans that fit you perfectly are a great investment, especially when you have a good tailor. but red cashmere, nude flats and a good pair of riding boots? definitely wardrobe staples!

cozying up this weekend

glamming up an every day look

so when it’s raining, like it is today, just about the last thing i feel motivated to do is look cute. the absolute last thing i want to do is dry my hair.

but there’s something about a button down and sweater that just makes me feel like a boy. to glam up a basic look, i add a cute pair of flats, a statement necklace, and skinnies (to make sure i actually look like a girl. if skinnies don’t work for your body type, any other pair of jeans that you feel amazing in will work perfectly). oh and a ballet bun and lots of eyeliner and mascara.

get the look!
