Baby Its Cold Outside

When Black Friday shopping, its always a good idea to be comfy but cute while running through the stores. So I wore this outfit, consisting of two new pieces bought during BFS. :) My grey beanie from F21, and my blue sweater from Wal-Mart. :) I love them both, but especially my hat, because I haven't owned a hat with a pom-pom since I was about 5 years old. :)

Did you go Black Friday shopping? And if so, what did you wear?

For The Love of Jean {OOTD}

So I wear leggings with boots and jackets a lot I just realized. Maybe someday I should pull out a dress for class. But then I think no because no gets that dressed up for class. :)

OOTD {My Go-To's}

So today I got the day off classes because it was Veteran's Day, so I laid around in my pajamas all day while working on homework. Well then I had to go pick up my sisters from school, so I threw this outfit on really fast. And as I was driving home jamming out to "Shotgun Rider" by Tim McGraw, I realized as we were talking about our go-to pieces in our closet, that my whole outfit was basically all of my go-to pieces thrown together!! :)

1. Chambray shirt: a blue-jean button down shirt basically goes with everything. I wear mine from Wal-Mart all the time!! Its an awesome layering piece and looks good on everyone. :) You can find one anywhere!

2. A Brown Leather Jacket: I got my brown leather jacket from Charlotte Russe last Christmas I believe, and didn't wear it much. But for some reason I have been wearing it non-stop this fall and up-coming winter and love it to pieces!!! It goes with sooo much in my closet and I love that! I'd like to get a black leather jacket sometime soon as well. :)

3. Black leggings. Do I need to say more. I got mine at Gabe's for $6 and I love them to pieces!!! I've been wearing them almost non-stop too and they are still fitted and not baggy at all!! :)

4. Brown combat boots. I think its time to start looking for another pair of combat boots cuz these babies are starting to peel and wither. I love them to death and wear them pretty much every day to class. :) They go with everything I have in my closet so that's great!

What are some of your go-to pieces?

OOTD {Canary & Stripes}

Sometimes life calls for your favorite striped dress and heels and today was that day. I really love getting dressed up for church! Its funny because in the past, I've despised heels, but lately I've been pulling out my girly side and actually wearing the ones sitting in my closet! Its nice to feel like a lady every once in awhile. :)

Wedding Ensemble

So I was asked by Alex from Weddington Way if I would create a wedding ensemble for their website as a challenge, since Bridal Fashion Week is in October! So here's my ensemble. Basically I made what my dream wedding ensemble would be. Very rustic but girly and feminine at the same time. I hope you enjoy!!!

If you'd like to check out their lovely site, go ahead!! :)

Mixed Emotions {OOTD}

The weather has finally become cold all day long which makes me soso happy! I was able to wear tights under my skirt and not roast to death!!

 

 

I'm obsessed with mixing textures lately and when I stepped outside in just my sweater and skirt, I knew I'd need a jacket! So I ran back inside and grabbed my brown leather jacket. I was slightly nervous of it just not looking right with the other colors in my outfit, but I ended up loving the whole ensemble! :) What do you guys think? Are you fans of mixing textures?

Traditions {New/Old}

My family went to a pumpkin patch!!! I used to go every year but then we got out of the tradition once we moved a few times, but today hopefully started a new *old* tradition once again in my family!! After coming home from the orchard/pumpkin patch we made apple turnovers in honor of Once Upon A Time premiering its 4th season tomorrow!! :D

 

For my fellow Oncers, you should understand the 2nd to last picture!!! ;) And also, I got my hair dyed! Last Sunday I took the plunge and dyed my hair strawberry-blonde with blonde highlights! I love it!! :)

OOTD {Chambray & Sunflowers}

This outfit was worn to class and then to observation at my daycare. When I got this chambray shirt from Wal-Mart this summer, I just knew it was going to become a classic staple and go-to piece in my closet and boy was I right! I've already worn it three or four times already!! Its loose but still fitted, and the sleeves are just the right length. It basically goes with everything I own! :) And also, this mustard yellow scarf from Gabe's? I am in love with it!! Its so warm and comfy and even has some sparkle throughout it!

 

Love,

Manda

Speckled Pink

It is finally getting close to sweater weather y'all!!! I am soooo happy!!! I just bought this adorable marled sweater from Gabe's a few days ago and I am in love with it!! If there was the perfect sweater out there, I think this just might be it! :) I added black jeans with my black riding boots and added a pop of color with one of my favorite scarves! :) I wore this look to classes today. It was perfect for walking across campus from one end to the other in.

If any of you could give me tips on posing, I'd love that!! I always feel so awkward! haaha Thanks in advance!

Love,
Manda

Times Three {OOTD}

So today I decided to spice up my regular Sunday OOTD posts by adding in two very special guests - my beautiful sisters! :) We had a blast doing a little photoshoot at a church close to our home. I came up with a few questions for my sisters to answer as well, which will be apart of this post. :)

My answers:

1. What is your style? My style is simple and classic. I'm not into trends that much - I like all the timeless pieces.

2. Who is your style icon & why? My style icons are Reese Witherspoon and Emma Stone because they make casual cute look perfect. They wear a lot of jeans and tees which is what I wear all the time, but they always add an interesting item, like a bag or a piece of jewelry, to keep the look from being boring.

3. If you could raid any celebrity's closet, who would it be? I'd have to say either Reese or Emma, because they dress like me. But in designer clothes! haha

4. What is one of your favorite cold-weather looks? I love the look of jeans and a button-down shirt with a sweater thrown over top, and riding boots. Add a cute scarf or a hat and that's my kind of outfit! :)

5. Where are your favorite places to shop at? H&M and Gabe's.

6. What's your favorite season & why? Fall because its when the weather is getting colder and you can start layering! Also because I love pumpkin patches and hot cider and the colors!

7. What city represents your style? I'd say London, because I love the look of neutrals, and tights with everything, and because I love letting my hair go natural, which most British girls my age just let it go naturally!

8. What's your go-to piece of clothing or accessory? Scarves scarves scarves!! Or hats. They just complete a boring outfit! :)

9. What type of clothing do you own most? I own a big selection of sweaters. But I also own way too many scarves as well!

10. What would you choose to wear while flying on a plane? A comfy pair of thick leggings, an oversized sweater, ballet flats, and a scarf, with my hair in a low messy bun.
