Texture.....

I love wearing sweatshirts in the winter.  J Crew has been my sweatshirt destination of choice for the past several seasons, embellished, plain, and textured fabrics are all part of my growing collection.  I recently picked up this great raglan number with a cable textured front that I absolutely love.  I winterized one of my favorite dresses by layering it on top and finished it all off with my oldie but goodie boots.

Relaxed Raglan....

I love a good baseball tee, there is something about the raglan sleeve and color blocking that is so classic yet trendy.  I don't get to wear them as often as I would like during the winter months so when I saw this leather like jacket version with marled sweater sleeves AND on sale it somehow just ended up in a shopping bag on its way home with me.  :)  I opted to pair it with a denim on denim look with my Vic Matie booties that I just can't get enough of lately.

This or That....

Without sounding too repetitive I couldn't believe that when I made my best attempt to shoot for this post, there it was AGAIN, that darn wind.  I am ready for a break from the wind, I can't imagine what you Chicago bloggers out there do.  But alas I still got a few really great pictures.  I have really been wanting to create a this or that post.   I created two looks from the same base outfit, a casual to dressy transition.  I started with a great Chanel like tweed tee and these denim and supply jeans and then layered two different jackets and pairs of shoes to create two looks.  Happy Hump Day!!

The Windiest Day Ever, No Really........

I finally was able to get out and take some pictures but not only was  it cold and it was windy!!!!  I decided on this outfit before I went outside and BOY was I not prepared for the cold wind that was waiting for me.   Ah well that will teach me to consult with Siri before picking out my outfit next time.  I hope you all had a great holiday season!  Anyone get anything fun?
