I almost made it through the month without buying any clothes. But then Roundabout sent an email yesterday morning about their winter blowout. 80% off clothes and shoes!! AHH! So I went hoping I wouldn't find anything and I walked out with 3 jackets...whoops!

One is a white blazer which normally isn't my style, because I'm afraid of getting white dirty, but I was drawn to it so now I have to be brave and wear white! Next up is a Sandro Paris burgundy blazer. I've been wanting something from Sandro for quite a few years but could never pull the trigger on anything because they're so pricey. Last is a purple Rag & Bone wool jacket with leather details. I liked it because it's like a blazer but since it's knit that makes it a little more casual.

I'm hoping to get back on track with my no shopping next month, but we'll see! You know I can never pass up an amazing deal if I see one. And I have a $15 credit for The RealReal expiring....

Colors are off a bit in these photos but I took them last night so the lighting wasn't the best. The perils of buying something the day before my wardrobe update is posted!

Why must I be addicted to jackets?! Failed my no-shop February by one day because of @roundaboutcouture‘s awesome blowout sale. 80% off clothes and shoes today only so I got all three of these blazers for $86! (The white one alone was $89 + tax before the discount) But I did resist buying a gorgeous pair of Celine knee-high boots for $100 🤤 #consignment #shopping #dealsandsteals #blazers #sandro #ragandbone #massimodutti You can instantly shop my looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app http://liketk.it/2Abry #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKunder50 #LTKunder100 #LTKstyletip

Last week I played hooky for the day and drove up to my friend's house in Massachusetts. From there we, along with a friend visiting from Australia, drove up to New Hampshire to visit the Ice Castles! I had never been so I was pretty excited. Unfortunately none of us were dressed warmly enough despite our layers. We stayed for 10 minutes before our toes started to freeze, ha ha! But it was so worth it even for that short amount of time. Who doesn't love an adventure?

P.S. I FINALLY found the brand that makes these boots my Grandmother gave me from YEARS ago.  I linked a bunch below. Debating buying myself another pair for when these fall apart because I wear them so often in Winter.

Told you you'd be seeing this Autumn Cashmere landscape sweater again soon! I wish I could wear it every day, but that would be a little much don't you think? This time I wore it with my patchwork boots because the colors all match. Might be a little odd but I think it's fun! Also decided to use my fun orange Louis Vuitton bag to pull out the orange in the sweater.

We had quite the snow storm last week. It wasn't a lot of snow but it really affected the roads. Christian got to leave work early because of the conditions and it took him an hour to get home when it should only take a half hour. I was left to shovel the snow on the driveway and sidewalk before he got home. I also did it again the next morning to get the remainder.  This is my snow day sweater, it keeps me warm and cozy while I shovel. And the best part? It was $1 at a thrift store.

Tissue Turtleneck: J.Crew, Sweater: thrifted, Jeans: Everlane Mid-Rise Ankle Jean, Boots: Grandma's, Sunglasses: Chanel

Worn this past weekend for some antique shopping, a trip to IKEA and then lunch at Texas Roadhouse followed by Sonic for deep fried Oreos. There was a lot of walking through aisles, good thing because we needed to work off all the food we ate! I had a coupon for a free appetizer at Texas Roadhouse, we were seduced by a cactus blossom! (aka bloomin' onion) So we made this our pseudo Valentine's date, even though my parents joined us, since we don't really care to celebrate.  I wore pink for the occasion.

Velvet Blazer: Gap, Striped Sweater: Banana Republic,  Jeans: J Brand 'Mid Rise Photo Ready Super Skinny Jean' (Gilt), Sneakers c/o NikeiD, Merces Petite Bag c/o Orox Leather Co.

We had some really nice Spring-like weather last week so I took the opportunity to wear light layers with this tissue turtleneck and cashmere cape. I kept the cozy factor going with velvet jeans.

Say hello to my new favorite sweater!  You may have already heard the story about this Autumn Cashmere landscape sweater from my January Wardrobe Update but for those that didn't I'll share again! It all starts with an Instagram photo in August. You know I'm all about the statement piece and this one is extra soft & comfy - bonus! At one point it had sold out so I was pretty sad and had non-buyers remorse. But then one came back in my size but was still full price so I patiently waited. Eventually it went on sale plus Autumn Cashmere was offering 20% off sale prices. It was still a splurge but I used the remainder of my advertising and Christmas money to buy it.

It's such a fun piece and has a lot of the colors that my wardrobe is built on. I already have a few more looks I want to wear. I don't have a photographer during the week anymore so my photo taking is now strictly on the weekends unless I want to use my tripod outside in the freezing cold (I don't.)  Once it warms up a bit I may be able to take them during the week again but for now we'll be a little light on posts unless we do a big chunk on the weekends.
