Knits & Leather

sweater (Gap), skirt (Tinley Road, Piperlime love THIS, THIS, THIS), blouse (J.Crew), clutch/wallet (Merona, Target), heels (Zara), shades (Ray Ban), watch (Cartier), rings (Lagos, David Yurman), lip (Sephora Always Red)

Sure this skirt would look lovely & polished with a Silky Blouse, but I am personally digging the whole chunky vs sleek thing going on here.  Still quite polished but with a bit more comfort and ease.  I have had these dang Cage Shoes since late last year and was not NOT going to sport them with this little number--it called for just a slight bit of edge and these suckers definitely fit the bill!

Alright gang, totally unlike me to solicit support, votes, etc--but I'd be remiss if I didn't ask for a little love.  Better Homes & Gardens nominated s + s for their annual Blogger Awards for fashion & beauty--if you're feeling up for it, sure would appreciate your support--voting is a cinch HERE.  Sincerest thanks in advance--Make it a good one!

Cozy Knits

sweater (HM Men's c/o see similar chunky knits HERE, BEST DEAL HERE), jeans (JBrand), scarf (Zara last seen in stores, other plaids HERE, HERE, and HERE), heels (J.Crew), bag (Burberry), watch (Cartier), bracelets (Sylvia Benson c/o), rings (David Yurman, Anna Beck), shades (Ray Ban)

"Do NOT come home from NYC without the Zara blanket scarf--dangit, Jenny--I NEED that scarf--sucker is sold out everywhere!"  Had the poor BFF on a wild goose chase in the city--and boy did the kid deliver--hell of a beautiful thing that friendship is...don't know what I'd do without her #LYMI.  

But aside from my fab gal & the coziness of the scarf (see alternatives above), the relaxed fit of the boyfriends & the men's HM sweater both complement the cozy, chill factor of this look.  Balance the relax with a dose of femininity in the way of a Leopard Heel and I just may have my current fave look.  Polished yet approachable and relaxed--what's better than that?  Y'all make it a great one--we gots ourselves a little winter wonderland in the Bluegrass this week!
