I had a busy weekend so I didn't have as much time to take outfit photos as usual, so I thought it would be a good day to share some extras from outfit pictures with Lydia since I haven't in a while.  Enjoy!

In contrast to yesterday's post, where I didn't want to wear all black, here's a black outfit! As you can see, my mood changes on the day. This is an outfit I find myself wearing over and over again because it's so easy. Some people don't like repeating outfits, I say why not?! If you like it, wear it again. Most people won't notice, and if they do, who cares?

I just love how the sweater barely comes above the hem of my skirt, the play in proportion makes me feel a lot taller than my 5'2" height. The sweater isn't supposed to be this long, but I bought a size large because it was all they had and I liked it. As long as I don't button it, you'd never know that it's the wrong size. I believe it was only $20 and I've had it for at least 4 years.

And how cute are these bow earrings from Lauren Conrad's collection at Kohl's?

Some days you just feel like wearing all one color (but not black.) I almost wore a burgundy tee with this outfit and changed my mind. It may be a bit much for some people, but since burgundy is one of my favorite colors I'm totally okay with it. I've been neglecting these leopard jeans as of late and I don't know why, because they're one of my favorite pairs. The print is nice and subtle so it's not overpowering.

Of all the designer collaborations Target has done, the Phillip Lim collection has been my favorite. I have 3 pieces from the line; two basic sweaters (one from the men's department) and the BOOM sweatshirt. I wear the sweatshirt quite a bit, but it has only been seen on the blog a handful of times, and never in it's own outfit post. I decide to rectify that right today! I even went so far as to wear a red lip for the occasion to match the print! And red shoes of course, who doesn't need a little Wizard of Oz in their life?

This sweater is one of my favorites. Being cashmere, it's super soft and then there's the added bonus of the really cool emerald snakeskin print! Even though the color and print are bold, this is such a great basic piece and one that I wear a LOT during the colder months.  I topped this outfit with my super cozy faux fur vest, I wore it to a family brunch and everyone was making fun of me saying I looked like a dog. But that could also have something to do with how I was crouched on the ground next to my own dog.

Once again we have another iteration of my Fall uniform, a sweater and jeans.  But it's so easy to change up with the bevy of options available. It's no longer plain blue jeans and cable knit sweaters. Now we have textured jeans, colored jeans and many styles of sweaters. In this look you can see I'm wearing snakeskin textured jeans along with my striped sweater.  I decided to add another pattern to the mix and wore some  leopard flats. Why not?

This is what I put on when I feel like I need to wear actual clothes while working.  I snagged this sweater from Lydia when she didn't want it anymore and find myself throwing it on all the time. It's perfect for those overcast days where you need to brighten up your day. I also love the unique knitting style, not your usual cable knit!

These Luxe Me Now slippers (first seen here) have barely left my feet since they arrived in the mail last month. Since they can be worn indoors and outdoors I've been leaving them on when I go to my parents for dinner, which I do a couple days a week. What can I say? They are a mile away and it saves me money on groceries! Plus, they all miss me so I have to bug them every once in a while.

Enjoy some bonus pictures with Layla! Was pulling double duty while taking these pictures.

It's that time of year again: tights season! These tights Wolford sent arrived just in time for the cold weather we experienced last weekend. I have a love/hate relationship with tights. I love how they make my legs look, but hate when they aren't "just right."

What I look for in a pair of tights: 1. Comfort; if they are too tight I get a stomach-ache, NOT fun. 2. Durability; rips and tears on their first wear is the worst. and 3. Opacity; I personally don't like a super sheer tight.

I received the Merino Tights and they're super soft. So far they pass the comfort and opacity tests! I can't vouch for their durability just yet, but so far so good! They have a reinforced toe, sole and heel so I have high hopes. I will definitely be wearing these a lot through the holiday season.

At $69 they are a bit of a splurge, BUT I have to say I can really see the upgrade in quality from my other tights.  I would definitely recommend Wolford if you're looking for a really high quality tight that's sure to last for years to come. They even have cashmere tights, yes, you read that right: CASHMERE. Pure luxury for your legs! They also carry bodysuits, dresses and so much more, be sure to check out their entire selection.

Also, if you own a pair of Wolford tights, be sure to enter their #UpdateYourLegs Facebook contest. And don't forget to keep up with them on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest!

When it rains, all I want to do is wrap up in a blanket on the couch and watch movies. But on this rainy day my mom, sister and I decided to do a bit of shopping. Since it was yucky out, I took really quick pictures on the porch.

Capes. They rock! Especially this one because it's cashmere and was only $30! It has only made a few appearances on the blog, but I throw it on whenever I want to feel like I'm wrapped in a blanket. I'm rather enjoying how my hair looks in the last photo, too bad it doesn't do that all the time!  That’s all there is to say today, rather short winded, I’m afraid.

EXCEPT:  Notice something new?! On Wednesday I decided to finally give the blog a little upgrade. I finished customizing it that night but decided to actually update the theme last night to start fresh before the weekend! I got my theme from SoraTemplates (see the one I used here.) It wasn't exactly what I wanted, luckily my first job was in programming, so I made my own adjustments (and buttons for bloglovin, like to know it and fohr card)

What do you think? Let me know if there are any bugs.
