• I love both these Tights. The Free Press are holding up better than the Merona's. Thanks Fran for recommending fleece lined tights. They're amazing!
• The abound Grunge Sweater is so warm and fuzzy. If you get cold at your office (like me) you need this!
• My mom surprised me (hard to do) with the Gingham quilted vest from J.Crew Factory. I think this vest is even cuter in person. I LOVE IT! I'm typically a Large, but the Medium fits much better.
• Surprisingly I don't like the Herringbone vest as much as I thought I would. I thought it would be thicker, and a different material.

Happy New Year!

Winter is finally here and it is chilly. I love to bundle up with lot's of layers. I especially like wearing skirts with leggings and boots!

Here are 6 ways to wear a skirt in winter! 

Sweaters, coffee and chocolate Oh My!

              Me  //  EllaPrettyBlog  //  Pinterest               

       

Sweater: Old Navy

Button down: H&M

Leggings: Target

Boots: Timberland
Scarf: Payless

Sweaters in the winter, a warm cup of coffee and some quality chocolate and there you have my own little piece of heaven! That being said I was pretty excited to try out this look from Ella Pretty Blog this week.  I had trouble with the button down shirt looking awkward under the sweater so I tried the tank-in-between trick from Franish but still looked a little frumpy. Do you ever struggle with too many layers?

I got a great deal on the boots form DSW and I love them! Target has a similar version here.

I returned these Target fur lined black booties because they were too open at the ankle and I wasn't sure how I would style them? Do I tuck the pants into the boots? I also returned these Target knee high black boots because they felt too narrow in the foot.

How cute is this top? Wearing a blazer over a light blouse is a great way to transition some of your summer tops into more winter appropriate attire.
