Leopard & Lumberjack

shirt & jacket (J.Crew), jeans (7FAM), shoes (Schutz, old, love THESE), necklace (Moondance, old), bag (Louis Vuitton Mon Monogram), bracelets (J.Crew, Asos, Stella & Dot, Voce on Clay), ring (David Yurman), shades (Gucci), belt (Old Navy), watch (Tag Heuer)

I have been in a majorly casual mood here lately.  It's no surprise that I love a good button down with jeans--I literally could (and sometimes do) where it everyday!  Also not surprising is my love of leopard, be it a big or small dose. It adds just the right amount of print mix to this look.  Leopard is a total neutral in my book so don't be afraid to add it with your rigs for an unexpected pop.  Y'all enjoy your weekend!!

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!
