A swan head collar?! It's so amazing that I can't even stand it. Since that beauty caught my eye, I started looking through the collection archives on style.com to see what else I've been missing. This adorable outfit especially caught my eye because it's actually pretty achievable.<br />
<br />

A sweater with a bow front blouse underneath is already a staple of my cold weather wardrobe, but I never would have thought to combine prints this way. I really love how the solid colored sweater breaks both prints up and changes the look from busy to fun and polished. And although I probably wouldn't be bold enough to wear socks with heels myself, this model sure makes it look cute! <br />
<br />
Although Red Valentino is supposed to be a more affordable line, on an educator's salary it just ain't happening! Luckily I was able to create something very similar for a fraction of the cost. If only there was a way for me to get an affordable version of that swan shirt! <br />

I was getting ready in a hurry yesterday morning, and I wasn't sure what I wanted to wear, but during my frantic search for something to wear, I happened upon a combination that I ended up really liking. As much as I love a mismatched look, I am, deep down, a sucker for matching, and the pink flowers of this top ended up matching the pink threads in the tweed almost perfectly. </div>

This is an outfit that I wore on my drive home from Lauren's after Thanksgiving break. My car was loaded down with a Christmas tree, ornaments, gumbo, Thanksgiving leftovers, and my toiletries. What was notably missing were my clothes! I somehow left all of my hanging clothes including my coat and two jackets in the closet of my room at Lauren's apartment. I was so mad at myself, but what are ya gonna do? At least I'll be seeing them soon during winter break! I miss you leather jacket! Oh, and you too Lala!<br />

For most of the country, fall has pretty much come and gone, but here in The Woodlands we're just now getting some fall color. I'm definitely more the type to wear black than brown, and I typically prefer cool colors, but today I ended up in classically autumnal shades of camel, gold, and chocolate (other than an errant pink streak that still hasn't washed out of my hair).<br />

I'm back in Plano and back at work today, and I'm definitely missing the fun times I had in The Woodlands over Thanksgiving break. This was an outfit that I wore a few times over the break after I picked up the sweater and earrings on a shopping trip with Lauren. We actually did the shopping before Black Friday, sticking to our tradition of avoiding the crowds and shopping on our laptops. I just about wrapped up my Christmas shopping and am ready for winter break to get here already! Only three more weeks!<br />

I wore this outfit to do some shopping with Sam, who got in town on Monday for Thanksgiving. We tend to skip Black Friday shopping (at least in person) to avoid the craziness and crowds, but today was a perfect day to get out and do a little bargain hunting. The weather was perfect and the crowds were nonexistent, but we still got to enjoy sales and holiday decorations. We'll be spending today doing some hardcore baking and prepping for our Thanksgiving feast, then enjoying family time on Thursday and Friday, but we'll be back to regular posting on Monday.<br />

After a very long stretch with zero days off, I am so happy to finally get a whole week to relax and recuperate. I wore this outfit yesterday on my drive to Lauren's apartment in The Woodlands, and got in just in time to take some pictures before the sun went down. How can we get so few hours of daylight?! <br />
<br />
I'm excited to spend the week sleeping late, overeating, and soaking in the family time. I have a long list of things to be thankful for, and having family who are also my best friends is definitely near the top of that list.<br />

I bought this shirt to wear on our upcoming trip to Disney World in December, but I couldn't resist breaking it out early. It's just so cute! I never got a chance to go to any of the Disney parks as a child-- my first trip to Disney World happened the year after my college graduation, at age 23--but I'm definitely making up for lost time now. It totally brings out the kid in me and really does feel magical, especially when it's all lit up for the holidays. I can't wait!<br />

Do you ever go to Disney World?Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06252178356338491098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100026046844769999.post-14644271963493747002014-11-21T06:00:00.000-06:002014-11-21T06:00:09.213-06:00Runway to Reality: Oscar de la Renta Fall 2014When I was flipping through fashion shows online and saw this beauty, I knew I wanted to find a way to recreate it. It's so simple, but the proportions are absolutely perfect! The flounce at the bottom of the skirt perfectly balances the chunkiness of the sweater, and the fact that it's black and white really lets your eye focus on the shapes. <br />

<br />
I may not be able to find the simple perfection of Oscar de la Renta in my closet, but I can definitely use it as inspiration for my winter work wardrobe. Chunky sweaters I have (although I'd take a few more) and I have several black skirts (that could all use a good once over with a lint roller)! Plus, I managed to find lots of similar pieces being sold now that would allow you to have a similar look and not go broke right before Christmas!<br />

My husband got me this blouse and skirt last year for Christmas, and when I was trying on all my new clothes, I ended up with them on at the same time. I really liked how they looked together, and I haven't looked back, having worn this same combination at least 3 times since then. It's one of my favorite tops and one of my favorite skirts, so if they look good together, I might as well go for it, right?<br />

Our school is giving us a little fall break with cute themes, yummy snacks, and best of all, jeans days. It was perfect timing because with this miserable cold snap, I am happy to have a thick layer of denim between me and the wind! These pictures are from our first day which was hiking themed with trail mix in the lounge and a suggestion to wear plaid. I ended up hiding most of the plaid with a sweater, but a button down was not cutting it in below freezing temperatures. <br />
<br />
I'm most excited for the bedtime story theme on Thursday when I'm going to break out my flannel jammies and this sweet sweatshirt I got for my trip to Universal Studios this winter break. Between wearing my slippers to school, turkey bowling (yep, I bowled with a 5 pound frozen turkey), and a potluck feast planned for Friday, it's turning out to be a pretty fun week! It just makes the countdown to a week off that much sweeter!

Yesterday was an oxblood (burgundy?) kind of day. I decided to go tone on tone in a cranberry (maroon?) sweater and slightly darker skirt. Whatever you call it, this color combination just screams fall to me, although it felt more like winter. One of my favorite things about dressing for colder weather is how easy it is to throw a sweater on over a skirt and call it an outfit. Granted, I often regret my choice when the heater in my classroom starts trying to smoke me out, but there's just something so cozy about putting on a sweater on a chilly morning that I can't resist it, even knowing that it's probably a mistake.<br />

Bright colors and my most summery perfume were just no match for the dreariness of this weekend's weather. Between the rain, mist, and cold, I was barely able to force myself out the door. I did end up running a few errands, but don't worry, I complained the entire time. I know you folks up north are rolling your eyes, but the cold and I just don't mesh! Someone pass me a blanket and a cup of tea!<br />

How did you spend your weekend?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100026046844769999.post-45170297528261965122014-11-14T06:00:00.000-06:002014-11-14T06:00:12.849-06:00Outfit Inspiration: Gwyneth Paltrow's Chic Plaid<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I love perusing the interwebs for great outfit inspiration. Some of my favorite celeb street style stars are Miranda Kerr, Jamie Chung, and Keri Russell, just to name a few. But I recently came across a picture of Gwyneth Paltrow, who doesn't normally come to mind when I think about the most stylish actresses, looking great.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.vogue.com/aq_resizer/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vogue.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F11%2F06%2F09-best-dressed-gwyneth-paltrow.jpg&width=940&height=860&crop=&single=1&upscale=" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.vogue.com/aq_resizer/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vogue.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F11%2F06%2F09-best-dressed-gwyneth-paltrow.jpg&width=940&height=860&crop=&single=1&upscale=" height="860" width="454" /></a></div>
<br />
I love this outfit because it's nothing particularly new or crazy, but it's just put together so well, and it would be super easy to re-create for a lot less money than Ms. Goop's Valentino and Saint Laurent-filled version. Just tuck a plaid button-down (adding that to my wish list!) into a full black skirt, throw on a pair of black booties (and, assuming it's chilly where you are, a pair of tights), and you're good to go. Paparazzi-proof sunglasses are entirely optional.<br />

It's official, I love my winter clothes but I HATE having to wear them! How can it be below freezing in November? In Texas? It's enough to make you huddle under the covers with a book and two fat cats until May. If only my pesky need for money wouldn't get in the way! At least it gave me an excuse to wear one of my all-time favorite Marshall's finds, this fair isle sweater dress. It's small consolation for cold toes, but it's better than nothing!<br />

I wore this very feminine outfit--with its ruffles, rhinestones, polka dots, and tulle--to work yesterday. Normally when I think about an all-black outfit, I think of a no-nonsense, no-frills, sleek look, but this was anything but, proving that it's possible to be sweet and girly without wearing a stitch of color. Not that I was setting out to make some kind of sartorial point or anything; <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=matthew+mcconaughey+lincoln&safe=off&rlz=1C1KMZA_enUS518US518&espv=2&biw=1920&bih=947&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=puBiVPr5H4PVPLLEgNAB&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ">I just liked it</a>.<br />

The sun has returned, and so have bare arms. I may have overreacted a tad and convinced myself that winter was here to stay. Silly me, cold weather never lasts long in Texas! Of course, the weather report says that we will be back to jackets by the end of the week. I guess I should just get used to going from tights and boots to sundresses and back again. Thank goodness for weather apps!<br />

I wore this outfit yesterday to do some grocery shopping and hold my husband's hand while he got his flu shot (just kidding). It was a gorgeous day--the kind where you would be comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt or jeans and a sweater. I opted for the latter version, as I'm pretty tired of my warm-weather clothes and itching to wear my sweaters and boots. In fact, I even changed over my closet, swapping sundresses and tanks for sweaters and sweatshirts. I also took it as an opportunity to do a full closet purge; Sam inspired me to ruthlessly remove anything I haven't worn in the last year, which resulted in three bags full of shoes and clothes ready to be donated.<br />

For a San Antonian, Plano weather is brutal in the winter! We have barely gotten a hint of it with the cold front that blew in last weekend and I am already in a state of constant slipper wearing and tea drinking. In a matter of days, I've moved past the excitement of seeing my sweaters again and on to the panic of how I will keep warm during morning carpool duty.<br />
<br />
This inspiration board probably looks like a collection of all of the things any normal person has in their closet for winter, but I need all of it! I don't have any high boots, my scarves are more cute than cozy, I only seem to own one glove (not one pair--one glove!), and even my collections of tights and socks are seeming scanty. <br />
<br />
Oh, and these Loeffler Randall rain boots? Whoever thought I would pine for a pair of rain boots? And whoever thought there would be a pair of cost-prohibitive rain boots?? </div>

This outfit made total sense when I got dressed yesterday morning. But when I left work in the afternoon, a cold front had blown in, and all of a sudden, my pastels and sandals felt very out of place. Full disclosure: It still wasn't all that cold out, this being Texas and all, but it was dark and rainy and gloomy.<br />

I've never been much of a tights wearer, but once I finally invested in a few booty-covering shirts, I started to feel comfortable enough to leave the house in them. It also helps that they've become way cuter over the past few years! I love the sporty seams on the front of this pair and the ankle zippers that look cool and make them way easier to get on and off. But most of all I love that they are crazy comfortable! I wore this outfit on the car ride home from Waco this weekend and was so cozy that I didn't even change when I went to a friend's for dinner. I have a feeling my friends are going to be seeing a lot of this outfit during these chilly months! <br />

It's November and there was a little bit of a chill in the air, so, as Texans are apt to do, I took it as an opportunity to break out some of my new fall clothes. I got this dress over the weekend, but the booties have been languishing in my closet since early September, waiting for boot season to begin. I even cracked open a brand new pair of tights; it's always nice not having to inspect them for runs or snags (it's the little things). Sadly, the weather indoors had me wishing I'd worn a sundress and sandals. Thus begins the season of deciding whether to dress for the weather outside or the cranked-up heat inside.<br />

The last time Lauren was in town, she helped me score some great new items at my favorite store, Marshall's. Whenever I go on my own, I tend to stay in the shoe and home sections, but Lauren pushed my limits to explore the clothing racks where she found me this sweet new leather jacket. It's so soft and warm that it even tempered my resentment of the cold front that blew in this past weekend. And it had a teeny tiny spot on it which got me an extra ten percent off! Now I'm lamenting all of the clothes that I have probably missed just because I was too lazy to sort through the racks. If only I always had my sister around to help me out!<br />

We had a decades dress-up day at school yesterday, which meant that we got to wear a costume to represent any decade. While many of my coworkers went with the 2010s, I decided to channel Clarissa Darling and Angela Chase with a 90s-inspired look. Perhaps not surprisingly, many of my students did not get my outfit, with one asking me if I was from the 70s and another wondering *if* I was wearing a costume (because apparently this seems like something I might normally wear?), but that's okay. I had fun anyway. What this outfit is really missing is a sweet pair of Docs, but alas, I didn't have any lying around. Even my husband got in on the 90s action, editing these pictures to make them look older.<br />
