Sassy in Studs.

Fall is here, but winter is quickly approaching.  I can easily say that I am not the biggest fan of cold weather but I am enjoying all of the Fall/Winter trends this year! Lace, brocade, layering, embellishments, and so many other great things! I wish I had an exciting life to have a good excuse to buy a handful of holiday dresses. Until all of the holiday fun starts, I will still be picking out my normal outfits for school, work, and just life in general.  I have been in the process of cleaning out my closet (yes, it desperately needed to happen. Mom, you should be so proud) and I found this gem of a jacket that I had completely forgotten about.  Side note: when you find pieces in your closet that you have forgotten about, that is the perfect sign that you need to get rid of some clothes.
I bought this jacket at the usual spot, Swank Boutique. I am still surprised that I like it so much because studs are SO out of my comfort zone. That's the wonderful thing about fashion, I can jump out of my comfort zone for today and be back to my monogram necklace, pearls and a sweater tomorrow. I purchased the jacket this summer so they are no longer available.  Find other amazing Fall jackets at Urban Outfitters, J.Crew, and Swank!
I added the striped tank from HandM to mix up the textures from the jacket with the fun, pop of the stripes.  The skinny jeans were a random buy from Old Navy. They're almost more of a jegging but I have been living in them! They're so comfortable and I am impressed at how well they have been holding up with the mileage they're getting.  The black booties are from Target and they are one of the most comfortable boots I've had.  I love Target shoes because they carry size 11!
Enjoy!

So sassy and happy in this studded beauty!

I decided to layer my monogram necklace with a longer 'sunburst' pendant necklace.  The pendant has the letter 'E' engraved on it but I decided to face it the other way to layer it! The necklace can be found at Swank Boutique!

My beautiful roommate's pug, Rocco! If you have the opportunity to adopt a pet, DO IT! It is the most heart-warming, gratifying experience.  If you're in Columbia check out Columbia Second Chance. I adopted my cat through them and they are a great shelter.

 

 

I am obsessed with this monogrammed wayfarers I have from Dixieland Monogram!

Rocco must have seen a squirrel...

 

 

I feel like I have to show off my Halloween costume...it's a little delayed but maybe someone will get inspiration for next year!

 

Tinkerbell and Peter Pan!

 

I bought the green romper at the one and only, Swank Boutique! I added on the bells and whistles from there. The glittery gold tulle belt was made from a simple Hobby Lobby purchase. I glued the big, white poms poms onto an old pair of gold flats! I'd say we pulled it off well! What did you dress up as this year? I want to know! 

 



I would like to apologize for the major delay between posts! It has been a very busy semester but I am now getting the ball rolling again for you guys! More posts will be coming soon! I hope everyone has a very happy Thanksgiving!

 

Keep Calm and Monogram On,
