Peak of Plaid

Happy February everyone!
I cannot believe that we are already one month into 2016! It seriously felt like the new year just started the other day! 
The whether here in Charlotte has been a little odd lately. We had snow for a couple days and the temperatures were freezing, and now it's been in the 40-50s for the past couple of days. I feel like this is abnormally warm for winter here, but should I really be complaining?
For today's outfit I'm taking advantage of not needing a heavy coat and styling my herringbone vest, again. When I say this vest is super versatile I mean it! I have already styled this vest at least 3 times on my blog! For this look I just layered my favorite plaid top under a white cable knit sweater. I threw on my herringbone vest for a little extra warmth and finished off the look with my favorite pair of jeggings. 
I feel like I have been unknowingly wearing a lot of red and pink lately, maybe because Valentine's day is slowly creeping up on us! I want to do a post on some outfit ideas that I think will be perfect for any Valentine's day celebration so be sure to be on the look out for that!
I hope you all have a great Monday!

Happy Martin Lurther King day everyone!

Can we get a hooray for no classes today?? HOORAY!!

Can you believe that we are more than half way through the month of January? What?? Wasn’t the first day of 2016 just like, yesterday? I’ve realize the closer I’m coming towards the end of my college career, the faster time seems to be moving and honestly, it’s pretty terrifying. I feel like there’s so much I want / need to do that there’s just not enough time to act on it.

 I guess in reality I am just terrified of “the real world.” I’m still lost and confused what I want to do as a career and I feel that there’s so much pressure to have your life planned out already at this age. Hopefully I will get my ish together this year and have it all figured out. I’m a true believer that everything happens for a reason and I’ll let life just do its course.

Whew. Sorry, didn’t mean to go on a long spill about me being scared of growing up. Now, moving on…

So we all know that black is pretty much my go to color in the wintertime, I mean it’s not like I have been writing that in every single post for the past week… I think you all get the hint by now. Haha. To add a little color to my wardrobe I added a nice pop of color with this red flannel. I love the contrast of the red flannel with my all black outfit it adds a nice pattern to relatively plain outfit.

Fun fact: I picked up this black and red flannel my first year in college three years ago and it was actually my first flannel I ever owned! Before college I never owned a flannel! Crazy, I know.

I hope you all are having a wonderful day and if you are off from work or school today I hope you enjoy your day off. Be sure to come back on Wednesday for another blog post!

Blanket Scarf

Blanket Scarf: Amazon  //ChambrayShirt: Old Navy // Cardigan: Old Navy (similar) // Leggings: Forever 21 // Boots: Just Fab
If you read my November favorite's post then you know that I have been loving blanket scarfs recently! Not gonna lie, when I encountered my first blanket scarf I was thinking "how the heck am I going to wear this??" After searching all over Pinterest and reading various blog posts, I finally mastered how to tie a blanket scarf. I am seriously obsessed and want to get more!
Now, if you know me then you know I hate cold weather so layering in the colder months is a must for me to stay warm. I recently picked up this oversized chambray shirt from Old Navy and it is quickly becoming my favorite clothing item. This shirt is oversized so it is perfect for leggings (#nopantsforthewin)! I finished the look off with the famous plaid blanket scarf, and I am good to go! 
P.S. Who's excited for the Victoria's Secret Fashion show tonight?!? I'm so pumped and cannot wait!
Have a great day everyone and thank you for reading!

Black, white and pink all over

Gingham Shirt: Target (similar) // Cardigan: Old Navy (similar) // Pants: Forever 21 // Necklace: Forever 21 (similar) // Flats: Target // Purse: Kate Spade (similar here and here) // Watch: Michael Kors Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well! It is exam season for most of us that are in college and my schedule has been jam packed with school work and studying. Needless to say I am more than ready for winter break!
Okay first off, can we talk about how beautiful the the colors and trees are in these photos? Gorgeous! I go off on rants on how much I dislike fall, but I do have to admit, the changing colors of the trees are breath taking! The leaves around campus are starting to get bare meaning winter is creeping up on us. If I was not mentally prepared for fall, then you know that I am definitely no where close to being ready for the cold winter. 
One of my favorite outfit pairings (besides flannels and vests) are button downs and cardigans. Pairing these two clothing pieces together just makes your outfit look instantly more polished and put together. I kept major of the outfit fairly neutral with black and white pieces and added some pops of pink with my necklace and purse. 
I hope you all are enjoying Blogmas so far and are looking forward to more of my upcoming posts! Be sure to come back tomorrow for a holiday gift guide! Have a great day everyone! (:
