The Mashup

look 1:  jacket (Zara), dress (Juicy Couture, major SALE HERE), wellies (Hunter) bangle (Jennifer Zeuner, Voce Lexington, KY), ring (Lagos), watch (Michael Kors), shades (Ray Ban), tote (Louis Vuitton Mon Monogram) // look 2:  coat (Express old, LOVE THIS, THIS, or THIS), jeans (7FAM ancient), ballets (Belle by Sigerson Morrison, love THESE on sale HERE), tee (GAP), bag (Burberry), shades (Ray Ban) // gloves (Target), bracelet (Stella & Dot & Adele Lexington, KY) watch (Michael Kors)

These looks almost didn't make the cut, but then I thought, each one has a piece that I truly love and think everyone needs for the chill--hence, The Mashup (winter addition).  First and foremost, the Hunter Wellie.  I love these classics so darn much, so much so that I have them in 3 shades.  You will see me sporting these guys many a day in the winter--the perfect barrier from snow & rain.  Second runner up, a good batch of gloves.  So here is my annual ritual once the fall is upon us, I stock up on a bevy of these $1.99 suckers from Target year after year (because they will pill by season's end)....snip the tips for touch screen access, and voila!  Lastly, a Leopard Coat...it is the perfect topper over a relaxed fit t-shirt, stripes, a bright splash of hot pink, or even a cocktail ensemble.  So while these shots almost hit the chopping block, I'm glad I spared em'  --although I am taking serious note on the leopard coat shot to never, ever miss my 6 week haircut appt--good grief, Shaggy!  Shawnee, I'm coming for you Friday, kid!
