This week I mainly picked out outfits with casual layers so I could stay warm at the office but still look put together.

stripes and layers — stripes and military jacket

Here I’m wearing a new faux layered look top from LOFT, and a necklace I made from my January “For the Makers” kit. The top is really comfortable and gives the look of layers without the bulk.

Crown Vintage Samantha Bootie – DSW $69.95

Necklace – For the Makers

I got this lace blouse from Golden Tote , and the jacket is from Kohls. The delicate layered necklace is from H&M.

I got this quilted puffer vest from Banana Republic last weekend and the coordinating sweater on the same shopping trip. I had actually been looking for a puffer vest I saw in the H&M catalog, but the store I visited didn’t have it. When I saw this in Banana Republic I tried it on and knew it was a keeper. Everything in the store was 40% off and I had an additional $40 gift card so I got a great deal on it.

Quilted vest – Banana Republic $98.00

Striped textured cotton sweater – LOFT $59.50

This outfit was actually layered as well, but I took off the black faux leather jacket for the photo so you could see the cute pattern on the blouse. The blouse and skirt are both from LOFT.

I remembered to take pictures of some of the things I wore this week. I was trying to layer as much as possible because the office has been so cold and having layers enables me to adjust to whatever conference room or office I am in.

This outfit combined a long cardigan from Target with a blouse from Golden Tote and a necklace from stitch fix. These are my favorite brown boots that I purchased after a trip to Paris where all of the women were wearing boots like this with everything from flowery dresses to skinny jeans and sweaters. They are comfy and roomy and look cute with almost anything I pair them with.

I got this sleeveless blouse from JCPenny from their black Friday cyber sale, and the cardigan is from Ann Taylor Loft. I’m also wearing my favorite skull studded flats which make me happy whenever I see them.

On Friday I wore those boots again with a cream colored pull over sweater and a scarf my Mom had given me. When I was chilly I wore the leather jacket, but for most of the day I was just wearing the sweater.

Winter Outfit Ideas

I’ve been really bad about posting what I’ve been wearing lately, so here are a few things I wore in December.

I took this picture on our “Snow Day” we had here a few weeks ago. We only got around an inch, but everyone was freaking out and all the schools were closed. Most of my co-workers flaked out and didn’t show up, but being from the Midwest originally I didn’t really mind and went in anyway. Usually the biggest threat when it snows here is other inexperienced drivers, but I just watch out for them. The skirt is from Ann Taylor Loft, and the blouse is from Old Navy.

The thing I loved the most about this outfit was the shoes. I love those sparkly flats! The jacket was from Ann Taylor Loft, and the tee was from JCrew.

This is one of my favorite dresses and I’ve had it for a few years. I love the asymmetrical hem and the pattern. It’s also a nice soft material and great for the winter time. We were having some pretty chilly weather this December so this kept me warm with the tights and boots.

This is one of my favorite color combos with mustard and black and white. The top is from Anthropologie, and the sweater is from LOFT. I also really love these flats I got at DSW. Comfy and electric blue.

I got this sweater from Piperlime last winter, and like it paired with these eggplant skinny jeans and these awesome skull print rhinestone studded flats.

I wore this blanket sweater on one of our cooler days here and was nice and toasty! I think I got this from ModCloth.I also really love this skirt. It’s a nice long wool skirt that keeps me toasty and I paired it with this rust colored sweater from Target. The skirt was from ModCloth.

Shoes to brighten your day

Sometimes I’ll be having an otherwise crappy day at work, and then I’ll look down and my shoes will put a smile on my face. These new flats from Jessica Simpson were making me feel happy today with their adorable little spots of shine.

Again, I only remembered to take pictures 3 times, but here is what I wore.

Red Skirt and Polka Dot Blouse

I really love this skirt I bought at Ann Taylor Loft back in the early fall, but it was gaping somewhat unattractively and I’m not sure the cut really works with my shape. The color is beautiful though and it went well with this sleeveless white polka dot blouse I also bought from Loft.

Burgundy Blouse and Leather Jacket

This was a somewhat leather heavy outfit between the jacket and the boots, but it’s getting really cold outside and the jacket helped keep me warm in the office. The blouse was from one of my stitch fixes.

Dress and tights

The dress and necklace were from an old stitch fix, and the cardigan was from Target. I paired everything with these teal tights, but I didn’t love the look of the tights. I think I’ll stick with black and neutral tights. For some reason the color made me look sort of sickly.
