Yes. Yes my legs were freezing.  I ended up tossing on some black tights after snapping these bad boys because the stems were just too chilly although I prefer the look sans tights.  Like yesterday's Duel Dots Post, I followed suit with a double dose of plaid.  'Tis a bit bold to double up the pattern, but when you love it that much why not give it a whirl.  In honor of one of my most fave prints, I went ahead and chose some plaid I'm eyeing from Piperlime (30% off with code WINTERCHIC).  Top of the list, this PLAID DRESS and BLANKET SCARF...love love them both!  Alright gang, you all have a wonderful weekend--make it a great one!

Cableknits, Plaid, with a side of Sneaks--sold!  You've got my favorite winter rig happening right here and I've already repeated the hell outta it.  Another fave I'm currently digging is a red & Camel color palette.  It's definitely a wintery combo and yet it's still cheery--the weather is so dang drab at times and a gal can only take so much black and gray.  Remember how we discussed Coats several weeks ago and the importance on where you should invest?  I clocked this Cocoon Topper for several months last year and finally took the plunge and I am SOOOO glad I did---it is the perfect addition to my collection and I have not for one second had an ounce of buyer's remorse--that's when you know paying a smidge more for an item is worth it!  

Alright gang, it is crazy nippy, wet, and wintery here in the Bluegrass but that ain't stopping me from attending one of my fave annual holiday parties of the year---you ready for me, Ash, let's make this Landis Ludachristmas one for the books!  Enjoy your weekend and big thanks for swinging by!  

PS:  Make sure to check out yesterday's GIVEAWAY--if you've got a little nugget in your life, this one's for you!
