dreamy outfit ~ modern vintage foxes and fur

happy wednesday, my loves! today's dreamy outfit is totally my style. it is, from head to toe, an outfit i would walk out of the house in. i feel that way about most of the outfits i feature here, but this one is especially me.

1 longline olive leather jacket, $360 via topshop

2 vintage white fur collar from snootie seconds, $44 via etsy

3 rebecca taylor ikat tunic, $295 via rebeccataylor.com

4 deena & ozzy leather cutout wedge boot, $49.99 via urban outfitters

5 blue & gold faceted bead necklace, $10.80 via forever 21

6 gold heart dial watch, $44.76 via asos

7 joe's jeans leggings, $189 via anthropologie

8 vintage cat-eye sunglasses from le love, $14 via etsy

9 tortoise shell frame clutch, $57.30 via asos

10 pyrrha mini fox head stud earrings, $318.71 via asos

i've asked people who know me best what they consider my style to be and the responses have been varied, but the most accurate was given by my friend barb who has known me since the second grade - she said i have a pretty solid mix of feminine and edgy.

one of the most important things for me in executing this blog is making sure that i put forth an honest image of who i really am - my voice, my life, my personal style - to my readers. i strive to be myself here and i hope that it comes across in these posts.

dreamy outfit ~ winter eclectic

hello, my sweets! today's dreamy outfit is inspired by today... a chilly, sunny day off that's making me want tons of warm layers for walking around town...

outfit details

1 knitted stripe mohair sweater, $40 via topshop

2 peacock feather double finger ring , $14.99 via amazon

3 cobalt crystal studs (part of a set of 9 pairs), $4.80 via forever 21

4 yellow scalloped bib necklace, $14.80 via forever 21

5 revlon nail color in "elegant" , $4.79 via amazon

6 j brand rose gold coated denim leggings, $202 via anthropologie

8 bejeweled stretchy bracelet, $8.80 via forever 21

9 deena & ozzy tall lace-up wedge, $74.99 via urban outfitters

10 stila long wear liquid lip color in fiery, $22 via amazon

11 charcoal grey loose knit scarf, $8 via forever 21

i'm not sure if you know this about me yet, but i LOVE mixing neutrals. different tones of brown (camel, taupe, beige and chocolate), grey, cream, black and especially those rosy pinks all look incredible together - it's my secret weapon for spicing up my winter wardrobe. i always gravitate towards darks during the winter months but i've been trying my hardest to employ color whenever i can. i love the little pops of brightness in the necklace and earrings in this outfit as well as a rich red lip paired with a nude nail (fyi, i just bought this nail color last night and painted my nails - consider me completely obsessed with it).

dreamy outfit - stylish things come in small packages

hi my sweets! we stopped by our dear friends jess (you'll remember her from this mama-to-be outfit post!)& teddy's new house to meet their new pup and drop off holiday gifts for our favorite small fry, sailor. while we were there teddy suggested that i create a dreamy outfit for sailor's age group and i loved the idea. today's daily outfit is inspired by the stylish little ones of the world. mini-fashionistas, enjoy!

sailor is just about the most stylish and smart thing you could ever imagine! i have the most fun shopping for her (have you seen the clothes they make for girls these days?!) and apparently she's been wearing the outfit we bought for her birthday left and right... so we opted for more stylish duds. we topped off the gifts with a (belated) baby shower gift for beezus, sailor's soon-to-arrive little sister! yes, they kind of matched. no, we don't feel guilty about it... what's there to feel guilty about when they're just so dang cute?!
