Keeping Warm in the Winter: Pants

Part two, much awaited I'm sure. Now today is probably no the best day to post this seeing as the temperatures have skyrocketed but I'm sure next week  we'll  be back down to the 20's. Look one is Glam. The black fur is super chic, and very warm. The problem with short furs is they can look fancy fast, so let the boots be the only other somewhat fancy element. Jeans are a great compliment to the fur and make them super skinny to fit into those boots. Look two is the most layered look. You've go three layers, as well as a scarf. I wear tanks year round and when under a bomber they're totally winter appropriate. If that's not cool enough for you, add an oversize army vest. I'm almost always wearing a scarf and I especially love circle scarves (no worrying about the ends being dipped in soup or strangling you). This one echo's the red of the tank top and with the blue pattern it doesn't look too christmas-y with the green vest. With so much going on on top, keep it simple with jeans and brown lace-up boots. Secret- what makes this outfit special is the mix of textures, mixed textures always look great. Look three is super sporty. Really its about as sporty as I am able to get. The awesome baseball jacket, (with room for a cardi underneath) the wedge sneakers (comfy, booty-lifting, and super stylish), and the slimming skinnies.
Get ready for dresses up next!

My Fall List

Fall represents new beginnings, regardless of how many years you've been out of school, it's hard to shake that new year feeling that strikes once September rolls around. For me, the new school year always means new clothes. Everyone's got their list, mine's always informed by those chunky September magazines I get in August. I've been told my way of planning however is unique, and a little more thorough than normal people, so here's the weirdo's way:

First I make a list of all the items I want to buy; neon patterned pants, tweed jackets, and wedge sneakers all made tot the first round this year. Unfortunately these three didn't make it to the second round. The items that don't make it to the second round are generally too high fashion, too hard to find, or too impractical for my life. Once I've edited your list down to a manageable size, I start pre-shopping. Pre-shopping is the smartest way to shop because you see all of your options before spending a penny (which is especially helpful when you don't have cash to burn). For those of you who don't know, pre-shopping is when you scout the items you want to buy from various sites. It's pretty much comparison shopping except that sounds too mom-ish for me. I've included my list below. I'm purchasing most of the items online and only a few in store because I want to try them on.
