sweater + tartan

I did not shop on Black Friday-- that was very hard. But I am trying to save money ...and not spend it. (Btw its kind of funny when I get all excited that I am "saving money" by buying something on sale- I'm not actually saving, I am spending!- unless it was something I was already going to buy).
However, in my wanderings and window shopping in the past few days, I have seen some lovely pieces that I would have loved to add to my closet. Solution: create an outfit idea! That usually satisfies my craving to make something pretty, even though I would love to wear it myself.

So here is an adorable sweater from anthropologie and a lovely on-trend skirt from zara, which inspired this outfit:

white sheath dress...in winter!

This is another piece I got from my mom and I absolutely could not wait until spring to wear it--way too long! I love the simple shape and how it fits me. I styled it for a family party. I love the bright colors, with a bit of sparkle in the shoes.

rainy day outfit

This I wore on a rainy day last week. I was inspired by weekend outfit ideas of a collared shirt under a sweatshirt. And who can resist fun red rainboots? I added a knit hat to keep warm. I put on two heart pendants on one necklace.
