OOTD: A Very Merry 60 Degrees Christmas

I'm a few days late but Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I hope you all had a relaxing holiday spent with family and loved ones! Unfortunately here in New England we didn't have a white Christmas, but it was kind of nice to experience a warmer Christmas for once. Here's what I wore before changing due to it being nearly 60 degrees out: 

Turtleneck: Old Navy

Skirt: Brandy Melville (tan available online) 

Boots: BCBG Max Azria (TJ Maxx) similar

Necklace: Forever 21 similar

I've been seeing these corduroy button down skirts all over Instagram lately, so when I stopped in Brandy Melivlle and saw one in maroon (my favorite color to wear) I knew I needed to buy it. I'm going to link some other options down below for you guys to check out! Although it was 60 degrees I paired it with this super comfy turtleneck, another trend I've been absolutely loving! What did you wear for the holidays? Let me know in the comments below!

OOTD: A Pop of Plaid

Happy Blogmas Day 5! Layering with button downs, sweaters, and vests is my absolute favorite way to stay warm in the fall and winter when it's not too chilly. This outfit is super colorful, but still all coordinates and ties together. Here's how I add a pop of plaid to an otherwise simple outfit:

Sweater: Gap similar

Plaid Button Down: Vineyard Vines Boy Size similar 

Vest: J. Crew Factory

Jeggings: American Eagle

Boots: L.L. Bean

Necklace: J. Crew Factory similar

The plaid button down incorporates the color of the sweater almost perfectly. It's not too matchy matchy and by adding the plaid button down it adds something to a rather simple outfit consisting of just a sweater and vest. Bean Boots are the perfect shoes to finish off any casual outfit in the fall and winter. Although they can feel chunky at times, they are perfect to wear to bundle up with chunky socks and will be perfect when it starts snowing. 

What's your favorite way to incorporate plaid into your outfit? Let me know in the comments below! Stay tuned for a post about some of my other plaid pieces to add some plaid to your cold weather wardrobe.

Top 5 Need to Buy - December

Happy Blogmas Day 2! I haven't done a "Top 5 Need to Buy" since August so I'd figure now would be a good time to bring it back with the holidays coming up. I honestly struggled a bit when making this because there isn't really anything I'm dying to buy lately and I could barely think of things to ask for for Christmas. Some of these items are just general ideas of things I want while others are the exact items I would like to buy for myself or receive as gifts. Enough rambling, let's get started!



1. Faux Fur Vest: I've been wanting to buy a fur vest for what feels like years but never actually get around to doing it. The vests are either out of my price range I'd be willing to pay or just look extremely cheap. This one is a happy medium between the two, it's under $100 but still looks good. Unsure if I'd actually wear it enough to make the price worth it, but I definitely have my eye on this furry piece. 

2. Vineyard Vines Santa Whale T-Shirt: This is just too adorable to pass up and if I'm being completely honest I'm already thinking of cute Instagram photo ideas wearing this shirt (I think I might have a problem but it's totally okay). This shirt is perfect for the holidays and although it may seem a bit pricey for a t-shirt, I swear by Vineyard Vines t=shirts because the quality is fantastic and super comfy overall. 

3. Kate Spade Initial Necklace: This is one of the items I am dying to buy or receive, definitely towards the top of my Christmas list. I've been needing a nice every day  gold necklace and this one seems perfect. I have a silver monogram necklace already so I wanted something different in gold and this is the perfect substitute while stilling giving  a personal touch to an outfit. 

4. Ansley slippers or Mini Boots: I can't decide what kind of slippers I want but I'd be happy with either of these. My uggs have definitely seen better days so it's about time they get replaced. Although they aren't the most fashionable option available, they are nice to have for lazy and cold New England days. 

5. Oversized Turtleneck Sweater: I've been eyeing loads of turtleneck sweaters online but have never been able to find one in person I really liked. I'm eyeing this one because it's perfectly oversized without swallowing you up. I'm also loving this Old Navy one for under $50.
