Put A Bow On It {Beaded Bow Earrings + Sweater}

Beaded Bow Statement Earrings + Matching Sweater{ETSY Beaded Bow Earrings, ZARA Sweater & Booties, MADEWELL Jeans, STAUD Handbag, H&M Wool Beret}

Sometimes the best things in life are unplanned…

And that’s definitely true in the case of these earrings and matching sweater. I’d been eyeing a similar pair of beaded bow earrings by Oscar de la Renta for quite some time, but I could never quite justify the hefty price tag. Luckily my online bargain-hunting skills kicked into overdrive, and I scored these awesome dupes on Etsy for a fraction of the cost.

Since they were handmade and shipping from overseas, it took weeks for them to arrive. While I was patiently waiting for them to arrive, I happened to stumble upon this dream of a sweater at Zara and immediately snatched it up in anticipation of wearing these items together and making all of my holiday dreams come true!

Classic Looks That Never Go Out of Style…

{UNIQLO Trench, J. CREW Cardigan, MADEWELL Jeans, G.H. BASS ‘Weejuns’ Loafer, H&M Beret, PUCCI Scarf, ZARA Handbag}

This outfit is made out of simple classics that never go out of style. While I’m a gal that definitely loves to experiment and have fun with her wardrobe – time and time again I always see myself veering back towards the classic. When all else fails, you can never go wrong with a soft cardigan, a well-fitting pair of jeans and a crisp tailored trench coat. There’s just something about this look that screams quietly whispers “elegance”. To jazz things up a bit, I paired it with two additional classic pieces that I always keep in my wardrobe: a wool beret and a chiffon neck scarf.

Is your style more trendy or classic? What are some of your favorite classic pieces? Let me know in the comments.

Some families shop on Thanksgiving… we prefer to wear plaid!

Every year on the day after Thanksgiving (aka Black Friday), I indulge my husband’s obsession with this famous green and blue tartan and don a head-to-toe black watch plaid look. The day is officially known in our house as #BlackWatchFriday, and it’s one of my favorite (ok only) sartorial celebrations. It’s even more fun, now that we can throw Christian into the mix. Last year’s family affair even wound up becoming our Christmas card.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this glimpse into one of our family’s stranger holiday traditions. What are some ways you and your loved one like to get into the holiday spirit? I’m dying to know, so be sure to spill the beans in the comments.
