Velvet Tank and Black Skirt

I've worn this tank in many ways over the last year since I bought it. I originally bought it for a holiday outfit, but liked it so much, I wanted to wear it more. I did get pretty uncomfortable on the really hot days during the summer, but the cooler days were just perfect.

So as Thanksgiving got closer and I had to decide what to pack, this option went to the top of the list! I think it looks really cute with this simple black flare skirt. And of course, it's not super warm out, so I added tights and booties.

I also added this tan sweater because I really think adding a black sweater would have been too much black (is that possible? Ben says no.) I think the tan sweater worked really well with the color of the tank and the tan on my booties! How exciting when it all comes together like this! :)

Red Cardigan & Denim Dress

I have a feeling I'm going to get a lot of use out of this sweater this winter. It's really warm and goes with way more in my closet than I originally thought it would. Shopping score!

As it gets colder out, layering is key. So today, I'm wearing this cardigan over my denim dress. Since the dress doesn't really have any shape to it, I like to add this caramel belt to give me some shape and to compliment my booties. It's pretty comfy to wear while decorating the tree (but once the pictures were done, the shoes came off!).

It's a fun, festive outfit for this time of year! And I can't wait to get more use out of this cardigan all winter!

Also, it has pockets!

Tan Pull Over Sweater

I own a LOT of black and grey sweaters. During Spring and Summer, and even Fall, I live in bright colors and patterns. But once it's super cold out and I don't want to leave bed, I basically only wear all black or grey. I do have a few colors, but not many. Maybe it's my mood reflecting the weather? Who knows.

Anyway, this sweater is a color that I actually have a couple of in my closet. The ones I have are a bit older and I don't wear them much, but I really love this color. When I found this sweater, I realized it was an opportunity to update the sweaters I currently have.

I love pairing it with my super dark denim, since the sweater is a little lighter. It's a pretty casual outfit, so I don't get too crazy with jewelry or accessories. Sometimes I wear a simple chain necklace and others I just wear small stud earrings.

Brown and Blue Stripes

Since this time of year is so cold, one thing I tend to gravitate to are bulky sweaters to keep me warm. I'll pretty much be cold from now until May! (ha!) While this sweater isn't actually as warm as I thought it would be, it's super comfy and that's pretty much a win.

I normally wear it my super dark denim since the navy in the sweater is pretty close to the shade of jeans. Sometimes I add my caramel booties, but today I added my grey booties. Since it's a pretty wide sweater, so I don't like to add jewelry. Simple and comfy!

Now that I know how thin it truly is, I will try to find ways to layer it so I can keep wearing it the colder it gets. Maybe I'll add a tee underneath, or a chunky scarf. Stayed tuned for what I decide!

Red Ruffles

I've fallen in love with sweaters with bell sleeves, but recently I saw a co-worker wearing a sweater with ruffle sleeves and I loved it! It's like the next level of bell sleeves.

I tend to wear red with black. I guess I really love the combination. But because I wear it so often together, I figured I'd change it up and wear my super dark denim (which I realize now is not totally obvious in these pictures). I, of course, still wore my black booties.

I'm not going to lie, I feel pretty fancy in this sweater because of the sleeves, so I added this statement necklace. I didn't add any earrings today, but I think if I change my mind on this necklace, I may switch it up and wear dangley earrings instead. For now, I'm loving this look!

Grey Cross Front Sweater

Does this sweater count as a wrap front top? I'm going with no, but it's pretty close. I saw a few bloggers I follow had something similar, so I went on the hunt for myself. It actually wasn't too hard to find!

I love it in this light grey color. And it's pretty warm, so I'll probably wear it all winter! It's super easy to pair with all shades of blue denim, black denim, even colored denim! My favorite is my medium shade of denim. and my light grey booties.

Since the front lays a little low because of the faux wrap, I added my crystal and crescent moon necklace, but really kept it pretty simple.

How beautiful is Clemson's Campus?!

Black Sweater, Plaid Skirt

This outfit, mostly the sweater, is SO comfy! Sometimes I worry about how comfortable I'll be in a dress or skirt at this time of year, but I know I don't have to worry about it in this outfit! I've been on the look out for some fun printed skirts, and this plaid one falls right into that category.

GUYS! IT HAS POCKETS!! :)

Since the main colors are tan and black, I wanted to find a black top to go with this skirt. And as I was unpacking my winter wardrobe, I realized, that is not an issue. I apparently have a lot of black already. Did that stop me from buying another black sweater? Absolutely not.

This black sweater has baggy sleeves, which add a cute detail to a simple sweater. Since it's been pretty cold out already, I added black tights and I normally wear my black booties. If I'm feeling brave, I also plan to wear my over the knee boots (and no tights!). We'll see if I'm brave enough though...

I'm still playing around with the different jewelry I may wear with this. Luckily, it's a good thing to switch it up and wear different things. For today, I added my crystal and crescent moon necklace and stud earrings. But I think next time, I'll wear a fun statement necklace.
