What I Wore To Church - Penguins!

Dress: ModCloth Coach Tour Dress in Penguins
Cardigan: ModCloth Charter School Cardigan in Honey
Tights: Target Opaque Tights
Boots: JustFab Sayana

Merry Christmas (a few days late)! As I mentioned in my last post, I've been in a bit of a blogging drought. With the relocation, I've been buried in boxes so blogging hasn't been my priority, but things will get sorted out soon.

Let's talk Christmas traditions. In my family, there's a very odd and unwanted tradition. Someone always gets sick. This year we ALL got sick. It made it that much harder to get to church, but we still somehow managed. I was so happy, because I bought this adorable dress for my sisters and my mom too! Most people don't like to match with others past 5 years old. I LOVE matching. Taking pictures of all of us just wasn't in the cards but trust me, we looked adorable. The fun thing about this dress is that it is surprisingly versatile and we all styled it completely different. I'm thinking I may try to turn matching dresses into a tradition.

Hopefully your Christmas was less...infectious than ours. Regardless, I hope you have a happy new year!

Game Day Style

So...I've been on a bit of a personal break. No need to worry, I'm not abandoning the blog. We finally bought a house and are in the process of moving in so things have just been crazy hectic around here. I promise we will be back to our regularly scheduled programming in no time.

In the meantime, I was recently asked by Fanatics.com to style a game day outfit using one of their MANY NFL jerseys. With football season in full swing, it's practically a necessity to sport your team's colors and there's no better (and easier) way to do it than with a jersey. Does that mean you have to look frumpy or messy? Absolutely not. I came up with the below outfit using one of Fanatics fitted jerseys. (You can find their full line of jerseys here)

Wes Welker Denver Broncos Nike Women's Game Jersey Orange

I like the feel of this outfit. It's comfy with the boyfriend denim and jersey, yet on trend with the infinity scarf and booties.

Those of you that know me know I'm not a huge NFL fan. I'm definitely more of a college football girl. So why did I choose that particular jersey? Because Wes Welker was my favorite player when he played for Texas Tech during my college days! It just seemed fitting to feature his current jersey.

Hopefully this outfit inspires your game day look!

Style Me November - Week 4

As you may have noticed, November has ended, and I'm actually a little sad. Before I get into the last week of outfits from this Style Challenge, I have to say that I LOVED doing this! There's a Style Me December challenge that started today, and I'm tempted to participate. Maybe I'll just participate for a day here or there. It did get a bit overwhelming near the end, but it was great help in getting my creative styling juices flowing, especially since I'm still getting used to wearing regular clothes (instead of a uniform) every day. I highly recommend doing a style challenge for those that can. It was also fun to follow the tag on IG and see how everyone else was working the style prompt. So, even if you can't participate, you can still check out the tag and live vicariously. Now without further ado, onto the outfits for the week. You can go back and checkout week 1 here, week 2 here, and week 3 here. (That doesn't count as ado does it?)

Purple Reign:

Top: ThredUp (LOFT)

Jeans: JustFab Signature Skinny in Dark Medium

Shoes: Vans Authentic

It quickly became apparent to me that I don't have any purple pieces of clothing with me so I opted to go with purple accessories. 

I didn't end up getting dressed on Saturday so "All About Eyes" got skipped.

Boots Made For Walking:

Shirt: Sweet Salt Boutique Classic Ultimate Scoop Tee

Cardigan: ModCloth Charter School Cardigan in Navy

Skirt: ThredUp (LOFT)

Boots: JustFab Sayana

I love the pairing of boots and pencil skirts!

Put a Belt On It:

Top: ModCloth Medium Format Memory Tunic in Navy Dots

Cardigan: Tilly's Essential Elbow Sleeve Cardigan (similar)

Leggings: Old Navy Jersey Leggings

Boots: JustFab Juneau

Scarf: Walmart

I was stranded in the house all day since the windows were being replaced, and I wanted to be as comfy as possible. This worked out great as both comfy and presentable. 

Girls In Pearls:

Top: LOFT Striped Shoulder Button Boatneck Tee

Jeans: JustFab Signature Skinny in Dark Medium

Shoes: ThredUp (Michael Antonio, similar)

This was a super simple outfit that I just threw my pearls on. Easy day.

Sporty Chic:

Top: Old Navy Vintage Style V-Neck Tee

Cardigan: Tillys Tribal Stripe Women's Cardigan

Leggings: Fabletics Lima Capri

Boots: JustFab Astana

This was definitely one of my favorite days (COMFY!). And it totally counts as "sporty" because those are workout capris. Bam!

And this is where I failed. I missed "Grateful For This Feature," "Scarf Smitten," and "Graceful in Grey" because...well because I didn't get dressed those 3 days. Did you? Seriously now.

Instagram Crush:

Cardigan: ModCloth Charter School Cardigan in Bubblegum

Skirt: ModCloth Adept Apprentice Skirt

Shoes: ThredUp (Qupid, same shoe as ModCloth Dynamic Debut Heel)

I blogged about this outfit (and my instagram crush) yesterday!

Again I say this was a ton of fun and I highly recommend this, especially if you feel like you're in a style slump!

Happy Shopping!
